There's not much that hasn't already been said but I wanted to register our delight at having stayed in the ultimate Hebridean retreat. The location is perfect, the views are spectacular and the cottage has everything you could wish for. Playing a round of golf at Scarista is not to be missed, even for clueless beginners like us. The wildlife,... More

My husband and I stayed in Taigh Iain for five nights over Feb/Mar 2012. It was quite pricey and so we were anxious about whether or not it would live up to the reviews, but we were pleased to discover that it was well worth it and we really could not have hoped for much more. The cottage was perfectly... More

Just finished a week's stay in blue reef cottages and enjoyed it very much. The cottages are set up for couples only with just one bedroom and are expensive but worth it. There is an open plan dining area with a very well equipped and modern kitchen, sky tv, internet (perfect all week) and a truly stunning view over the... More

This retreat is expensive, but worth every penny! We spent our honeymoon at Blue Reef in September this year, and knew from the moment we walked into the place that we had picked the perfect spot. Real luxury admidst wild beauty! There are some lovely places to eat in Harris, but frankly we loved the place so much that we... More

We came to the beautiful Isle of Harris 4 years ago and we were blown away by the unbelievably beautiful beaches ( and we are Australian, so we know about beaches). We saw the two Blue Reef Cottages with their stone walls, perched on the side of a hill in Scarista, the roof covered in grass and just knew we... More

We are so glad we stumbled across this cottage whilst researching Harris. It was our first trip to the Outer Hebrides and this cottage made it a truly memorable holiday. The facilities on offer along with the layout and comfort of the property are excellent and the panoramic views from the observation lounge are breathtaking. More

Stayed in Taigh Iain from 6th-13th Jan 2010. I had seen the cottages advertised a couple of years before in a wedding magazine and knew then that we had to have a holiday in them at some point. Firstly, the area in Harris where the cottages are based - Scarista - is by far the nicest spot on the island.... More

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of a week celebrating our first wedding anniversary at the exceptional Blue Reef cottages in Scarista, Isle of Harris. Owners Rhona and Neil have hit upon a perfect formula for this beautiful ocean-facing location: two genuinely 5* self-catering cottages with all mod cons and comforts from under-floor heating to Sky Sports (broadband...

What an amazing place. We spent Christmas at the Seamus cottage - one of just two at this amazing location in Harris. We flew to Stornoway, hired a 4WD from the airport and drove our way down. En route we were phoned to check everything was ok and arrived to receive a warm welcome. A Xmas tree by the fire,... More
