A fantastic setting with great views over a wide horizon, and easy access to the beach. We had a great welcome and could not have made things easier. A relaxed feel to the place made it much more like a country-house rather than a hotel. They were more than happy to provide a meal for the baby - unasked -... more

We stayed in Glebe Cottage because my wife & I were travelling with our small dog. It was one of three terraced self-catering properties behind the house. It didn't look like a cottage & we were both extremely disappointed with the standard of the accommodation, to the extent that we left early. First things first - Scarista House itself overlooks... more

We stayed one night at Scarista and were welcomed by Patricia who served us delicious cake and tea on arrival . Our rooms were quiet, comfortable and delightfully individual. We thoroughly enjoyed the menu of freshly prepared soup, homemade breads, local fish, cheese and lemon tart and felt it was very good value. The service was friendly and unpretentious. The... more

We spent a night at Scarista at the beg. of July. We got a warm welcome and enjoyed our complimentary tea/coffee on arrival. However, we were disappointed with our room - quite small, very dark and drab and drawing room also struck us as a little shabby! Food was excellent though would have preferred a choice of main course -... more

Scarista House is a white stone 2 storey Manse renovated many years ago, with accomodation in the house or in out buildings - see the web site for more details. Although we booked more than 6 months in advance , our choice of rooms was limited, so we stayed in the main house on the first floor in the front... more

I can't fathom what there is to quibble with at this truly 5* small hotel. Scotland is blessed with some amazing small house-hotels both in the Islands and mainland; likes of Cromlix House near Dunblane or Roman Camp nr Callander for example. This hotel is right up there and maybe better given the location and real island remote feel it... more

Having seen some negative reviews of Scarista I feel the need to jump to its defence. We stayed for two nights on our honeymoon in 2005 and without hesitation I can say it was THE highlight of an already wonderful two weeks. Having arrived very early (11am), our room wasn't ready. Without any fuss or bother, we were given fresh... more

The Outer Hebrides are our famous destination for the last years. So when we decided to marry we wanted to marry at the beach somewhere on the islands. Scarista House where we travelled past several times was our destination. We contact Tim and Patricia Martin, the owners, and they were very helpful to plan the marriage from Germany. We could... more

We came here before in 2002 when we were cycling around Harris. We booked 1 night and stayed 2 or 3. When we got married this was where we wanted to come for our honeymoon. We like the combination of excellent food and service combined with a homely atmosphere and informality. We have always found the food excellent. There is... more
