Really helpful information regarding what will be open when you arrive. Lots of restaurants, shops & facilities slowly starting to open their doors and we can't wait to get back to all our old haunts.

Welcome back!

There are a few changes you need to be aware of when you travel through the islands. Please read and plan your trip carefully - what you might be relying on to be open might not be open this year e.g. not all toilet and shower facilities will be open.

Following on from the announcement by the Scottish Government allowing self-catering establishments to re-open, and with Calmac ferries now increasing the capacity on board their vessels, the islands are starting to slowly welcome back visitors.
We’ve spent the last few weeks readying the cottage, ensuring that it will be a safe environment for guests and staff, and we are pleased to announce that we will be opening our doors from the 15th August. Restaurants and shops throughout the island are gearing up to welcome people back and we believe that by this date, Harris will be ready.
Due to our location we have been fortunate in having very few cases reported. Those who have experienced our wild open spaces can appreciate how relatively easy it is to abide by social distancing. For those who want to ‘get away from it all’, Harris has always been the perfect destination. We really want our visitors to return and we look forward to welcoming you back, but we want to be open about potential issues that you should be aware of before booking.
Firstly, for those travelling by ferry in the next few months, they are going to be busy so please check the Calmac website before booking.
Secondly, in the very unlikely event that you should develop symptoms whilst staying on island, you will be unable to use the ferry or plane to return home. We will, of course, ensure that you can remain in our cottage, and we’ll be happy to provide advice and help with the delivery of provisions and medicines but our normal tariffs will apply.
Please feel free to contact us if you require any further information prior to booking.

Can't wait until next year to see Harris again? I'm not a fan of Call the Midwife but I might just be watching this. Keep an eye out for Rodel, the Peat Road, Scalpay Lighthouse and the ubiquitous sheep (not the easiest of jobs for the crofter to make sure they all behaved).

Merry Christmas to all and best wishes for the New Year, from all at Seaside Cottage, Ardhasaig.

Harris is more than just beaches. The North Harris estate encompasses a large area of unspoilt wilderness and if you want to be shown the best places to see out of the way landscapes, secluded beaches and hidden flora and fauna, then joining the Ranger on the Trust's Guided walks can be a great introduction to the island of Harris. Their programme for 2020 is out now.

Our 2020 Guided Walks Programme has now been confirmed and can be viewed in full on our websitehttps://www.north-harris.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Walks-Programme-2020.pdf
