Link to more photosThe hotel was built in 1865 and has been in the care of successive generations of the same family since 1903.  Over the years, the hotel has been the subject of numerous renovations and now offers a mix of relaxing accommodation in both modern and more traditional styles. Staying here, you’ll enjoy some of the elegance of times gone by, as well as more modern values of comfort and service.

Silver Award Western Isles Holiday AccommodationMany of the original bedrooms rooms are spacious and front facing, while some of the more modern accommodation is smaller but with views towards the sea.  All have the en-suite facilities you would expect, as well as TV and hospitality tray.  Rooms are available in price groups 3 and 4, plus Select Collection.

One of the hotel’s most celebrated visitors, the novelist J. M. Barrie visited the hotel during the 1920s. His initials, which he himself etched, could be seen in the dining room window until recently when the window was replaced - they're now on display at reception.  Here, a good selection of fresh local food is served in surroundings that still retain the essential character of the hotel.

There are a number of lounges in which to relax, with coffee or a drink from the bar – perhaps chosen from a huge range of malt whiskies – or to just view the attractive garden in front of the hotel.

Select Collection - Holiday Accommodation in the Outer HebridesMaking holidays extra special in the Hebrides, deluxe rooms are accommodation that we have chosen for their individuality.

Tarbert’s small shops, bank, ferry terminal and bus stops are all within a short walk of the Harris Hotel; the beaches of the west Harris coast are around fifteen minutes drive and the north Harris hills are about four miles to the north.

Suggestion

Drive a couple of miles north of Tarbert, then turn left to take the 14 mile single track road which reaches a magnificent conclusion at Hushinish, with its wonderful soft sand beach and views to neighbouring islands, including Taransay and Scarp (the setting for the highly acclaimed feature film, The Rocket Post).
