Sound of Harris is a fantastic brand new luxury holiday cottage in the south eastern tip of Harris. A romantic sanctuary on the edge of the world and a gem for the discerning traveller.
We hurtled over The Golden Road from the ferry port at Tarbert down to Borrisdale over inlets of grey rock and fertile machair, fringed by florid seaweeds edging to the Minch and the Atlantic Ocean. Our destination was a holiday cottage that was to be our home for a long weekend on a remote island on the very edge of Europe.The most striking impression of the new cottage is a fusion of Californian beach house with a mid-20th century British interior design beamed into the midst of a Gaelic crofting community. We knew straight away that we had come to a very special and fascinating place. Sound of Harris is the latest addition to the range of high quality accommodation available on the island. Once bywords an archaic and remote wilderness, Harris today is has become a premier destination for the adventurous and experienced traveller. Harris is an idyll of peace and tranquillity with a local population radiating warmth and quiet confidence.
