How to get here…
The Seòl Mara and Corran cottages are between 10 to 15 minutes drive from the ferry terminal at Tarbert. Tarbert is well served by amenities including shops, restaurants and hotels. The cottage is on the outskirts of the small village of Seilebost, set amongst some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland, with magnificent sandy beaches and the North Harris hills as a backdrop. Access to the sandy shoreline is via the enclosed garden.
By Land
Reaching the ferry port, Uig from the South, will require an approach via the A82 / A87. Travelling through Ullapool, usually requires a drive via the A9 and A835 from the “central belt” of Scotland. Times for each journey can vary considerably depending upon time of year and time of day.
By Sea
It is from Uig on the Isle of Skye that the Harris ferry, operated by Caledonian Macbrayne, departs from and takes approximately 1 hour 40 minutes. Alternatively, there is the Ullapool to Stornoway ferry which takes about 2 hours 30 minutes to cross the Minch. You can also sail from from the Island of Berneray to Leverburgh in the South of Harris, if you are spending time in the Southern Isles.
By Air
Reviews
We want our guests to love the place, whatever the occasion, whatever they do, whatever the weather. We believe we’ve provided everything you could possibly need during your stay. We know the location of the cottage will take your breath away. Don’t just take our word for it:
“Seòl Mara is the most comfortable, well-equipped and beautifully-located cottage we have ever rented for a holiday. We spent a week here in March and wish we had arranged to stay for a fortnight. The location is incomparable. You can walk out of the back door, across the back lawn and straight down onto Seilebost beach. The walk out towards the ocean with the ever expanding view across to Luskentyre and the Harris mountains is stunning.”
“Lovely property with absolutely everything you could need for a wonderful stay. Right next to the beach, great views, every possible facility. Fab location on Harris, great for walking. Very well furnished, peaceful, large garden. The owners are easily contactable and ready to help or advise on anything, really friendly.”
“We loved the house, it was the most perfect romantic gateway you can wish for. The house is exceptionally well equipped.. the view from windows in every room is stunning. It’s the best self-catering accommodation we ever stayed in.”
“We’ve stayed in Harris several times and this house and location were up there with the best. Very well equipped and furnished house with stunning views over Luskentyre beach. Easy walk to the beach. Fully and highly recommended.”
