Bed & Breakfast Accommodation on the Isle of Harris

Welcome to Isle of Harris Bed and Breakfast from Enjoy Hebrides, your new gateway to the Inner & Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

The Isle of Harris is one of the most beautiful places in the United Kingdom that is becoming increasingly popular as a vacation destination for those people looking for a Hebridean holiday with a difference. Harris is a small island found in the archipelago known as the Western Isles, but more commonly known as the Outer Hebrides, which is found off the west coast of Scotland.

Set on the western periphery of Europe the Isle of Harris has been shaped by the weather fronts of the North Atlantic ocean which has helped to create some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland. Harris and the Outer Hebrides have been populated for thousands of years and the unique, and often harsh, way of life has helped to create a truly unique Gaelic Hebridean culture. Staying in a Harris bed and breakfast is one of the best ways in which to experience the renowned Hebridean hospitality and rich Gaelic culture. If you would like to have a taster of what it may be like to live on the Isle of Harris you may want to book some Harris self catering accommodation.

Top of the list of places to visit on the Isle of Harris must be the incredible beaches on South Harris. Taking the main road from Tarbert (the main village on Harris) down to Rodel, at the southern tip of Harris, you will drive past some of the most amazing beaches in the U.K. Spotlessly clean, and featuring some of the clearest water you are likely to see, the Harris shell sand beaches can be enjoyed in numerous ways. Most visitors like to sunbathe while others like to surf or windsurf. At Scarista the beach is perfect for all kinds of sports and sand buggies can often be seen spinning around the large flat expanse of firm sand.

Of course there are a great many other sports to indulge in while visiting the Isle of Harris. Cycling is extremely popular but rather challenging due to the mountains. Cyclists need to be aware of the single track roads and would be strongly advised not to ride two abreast. Always try to be aware of others on the road who can sometimes appear behind you from nowhere.
