“...watching the ebb and flow of the tide in front of beautiful sunsets from the comfort of the lounge. If this wasn't a perfect honeymoon then they simply don't exist.”
(Dave & Lynne High Wycombe)
“This place is stunning. The house is outstanding: harmonious and unobtrusive in its setting, yet so large and comfortable inside. We loved the outlook and could relax for hours watching everything from horizontal sleet to brilliant sunshine. You don't need to go anywhere to have a wonderful relaxed time. The way the house works from the flow of spaces to the warm floors to the details of design ... it really is magnificent!And then: Pete & Christine are generous hosts, everyone is friendly and welcoming; the walks, the history, the wildlife - A remarkable holiday which we didn't want to leave.”

Harris is beautiful, full of contrast from North to South, East to West. Rugged mountains down to unspoilt beaches that go on for miles, literally. Everything about the house, the design, fittings, little touches (home baked bread) and not forgetting the setting, is amazing.
