Scarista House is a little boutique hotel overlooking a pristine white beach with a mountain view backdrop. The location is stunning. It is not cheap, but everything out there has to be brought from the mainland. For peace and quiet, walks and de-stressing, there is no better place. Tim and Patricia, the owners, also run the restaurant which is a... More

We booked dinner at Scarista House with high expectations. On arrival we were ushered into a study by a waitress, log fire sadly not lit and the room cold, without background music. Two further sets of guests arrived and we were handed menus. No choice is offered, either three courses for £43 or £49.50 for four courses. Canapés arrived, slightly... More

Met at the door by our hosts, served freshly baked cake with Afternoon Tea, then drinks in the library before a top class dinner, who could ask for more? Well actually, the rooms were wonderfully comfortable with a fabulous view to the coast More

We had been planning a trip to Scarista House for over 20 years and finally made it for our Silver Wedding - we were not disappointed!

We stayed with all our family for three days as a celebration of a special birthday and took over the whole hotel as a house party. We had stayed here before, just with our dog, and loved it so much that we promised we would come back again with our children, grand children and extended family as well as the... More

We stayed here for two nights during a tour of the Outer Hebrides and loved it! The ambience, hospitality, accomodation, food and drink and location were excellent. Staying here felt like being well cared for as family friends with hosts who were happy to leave you to your own devices but who were anticipating your every need. More

Stayed here for 1 night as part of a 3 night trip to Harris and Lewis. Also stayed at Broadbay House and Auberge Carnish (see separate reviews). On arrival we were greeted by Patricia who made us very welcome with tea and cakes and and was also very kind to include a friend of ours who was not staying but... More

We stayed here for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The accommodation was comfortable enough and the food was excellent. There is a relaxed ambience and we were very pleased that our dog was also welcome. He enjoyed Scarista Beach as much as we did and we also toured around the Isle of Lewis taking in some of the rich... More

We stayed for three nights with our two children aged 14 and 10 and we all had a fabulous time. The accomodation is to a very high standard and the food is great. There are plenty of books in the sittingroom in the main house to borrow and read and loads of board games available, not that we needed to... More
