Tarbert 16.3 miles.
Resting in Hushinish, near Tarbert, Isle of Harris, Scotland, Katie’s Cottage boasts the most stunning seaside views to a beach just metres away from the front of the property, making this the perfect family holiday home for those who love to feel the sand beneath their feet and take to the water in a kayak.
With off-road parking for one car, be amazed by the location of this wonderful property, offering an uninterrupted view of the local white sandy beach.
You will be delighted to find the inside of the property has been renovated to a high standard, sporting contemporary décor in shades of brown, grey and cream, to make you feel right at home.
Upon entering the property you will find yourself in a spacious kitchen/diner, where a vintage look table encourages you to sit for tea and cake, whilst a bar makes the perfect spot for a quick coffee as you plan your day, and the designated chef will be delighted to find the kitchen amply stocked with all of the home comforts needed to make you stay convenient; note also the eye-catching blue tiles complementing the grey and white décor. When the evening draws in, a sitting area with an open fire will warm your feet as you relax on the stylish corner sofa, and local artwork and photographs are in keeping with the Scottish Highland theme, as well as a hand-made rug adding a splash of colour to the space.
With grey marble-look tiles, white furniture and a contemporary feel, the family bathroom makes the perfect place to scrub the sand from your hair.
Three bedrooms are available for guests, starting with a large king-size room with ample furniture that adds to the contemporary feel, as well as wonderful tweed furnishings reflecting the Highland theme, as well as a double room with a desk, storage and slanting ceilings and a single room with a desk and storage, each perfect for a family getaway.
Outside, the stunning views of the bay are maximised by outdoor seating, where you can watch the sun set in the evenings with a glass of your favourite tipple, taking in the salty air and the abundance of local wildlife. Surrounding the cottage, the Harris Hills offer a challenging yet rewarding hike through the countryside, whilst the local bay is perfect for wild swimming, wind surfing and kayaking, or you can relax on the soft sand with a picnic and a book. Further from the cottage, you will find the town of Tarbert, where you will be able to stock up on essentials at the local store, as well as try out local produce in one of the cafes, pubs and restaurants after a morning spent at the Tarbert Eagle Observatory.
Tarbert also offers a variety of shops selling local craft, including Harris Tweed and Knitwear.
Further afield you will find historical sites such as the unmissable Calanais Standing Stones as well as the town of Stornoway, offering a museum, Tesco superstore, and ferries across to the mainland.
With such a stunning landscape right on your doorstep, your family holiday in Katie’s Cottage is bound to be one you will remember.
The islands can be reached by flights from Edinburgh, Glasgow, or Inverness; or by ferry from Uig on Skye to Tarbert, or Ullapool to Stornoway.

Loved every minute… despite the weather. Great walks, beach right outside house and a rally course in and out of the area :). Love visiting Harris and this property made it extra special.
