Isle of Harris holiday accommodation

The Blue Hare offers sublime, secluded and unique self-catering accomodation in the Isle of Harris. Our concept involves a light-touch addition to our croft, designed to accommodate one or two guests and their dog. We've carefully chosen the location to ensure that Blue Hare blends seamlessly with its surroundings, providing privacy and stunning sea views. It's an ideal spot for cycling, walking, or even for yacht enthusiasts seeking a break from the waves. Secure bicycle storage is provided in a lockable shed, which can also be used to dry wetsuits after a refreshing sea swim.

​

Blue Hare's interior is finished to a high standard, offering a modern twist on the traditional bothy design. Large floor-to-ceiling windows provide breathtaking panoramic views of the Minch and the Isle of Skye from its elevated position. This unique vantage point allows you to observe various wildlife, including eagles, seals, whales, dolphins, and otters. Lingerbay loch and bay offer a range of activities such as fishing, wild swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking. Bring your own craft, or hire locally and launch from our croft beach. Blue Hare is the only holiday accommodation on our croft, set in its own garden and substantial grounds, fenced off for your privacy and your dog's enjoyment. Routes for local walks and an area map are provided.
