House and rooms


All our rooms have views of the sea, sand and hills

Scarista House, Isle of Harris

Scarista House by  Xanthe Mosley

Our bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and are comfortably furnished and decorated to reflect the period of the house. There are books, antiques, pictures and prints throughout.


Three bedrooms are in the main house, and two more rather larger rooms occupy the purpose-built, adjacent Glebe Building. As a result they have, if anything, better views, although the sea and hills can be seen from all the rooms. There are direct-dial phones, tea-making equipment, hair-dryers, books and magazines in all bedrooms.


This is an old house and none of our guest rooms is very large, but we think that they are interesting, comfortable and well appointed.


The library has an open fire, lots of books, and plenty of CDs. This is the room that the resident cat, Max,  likes to occupy. Guests often take afternoon tea, drinks or coffee in his company.


Cats and dogs are excluded from the comfortable drawing room, where there is another open fire. The view of the ocean from the writing table in the window of this room is one of the best in the house.


Children are welcome, and we can usually arrange for a cot or a small bed to be put up in a bedroom. Children can be given an early meal in the kitchen or dining room, and may help prepare their meal if they wish.


You are welcome to bring your pets to Scarista House by prior arrangement. Rooms in the Glebe Building are especially suitable for guests with dogs as they are so easily accessible from the grounds.


There is no television at Scarista House.
