Blacksheep House - Self Catering - Strond, Isle of Harris - Sleeps 2
Blacksheep House is a unique 5‑star self‑catering property - an architect‑designed, contemporary renovation of a traditional Hebridean blackhouse. This remarkable holiday home won Grand Designs Home of the Year in 2008 and offers an unforgettable stay for two adults on the south coast of South Harris. Accommodation includes a spacious downstairs master bedroom, with an additional galleried sleeping platform featuring a king‑sized bed if desired. Please note that the house is not suitable for children under 12 or pets.
Set just off Strond, Blacksheep House enjoys stunning views across the Sound of Harris towards the Uist. Leverburgh village is only a mile away and offers a well‑stocked general shop and a restaurant, making it easy to pick up supplies or enjoy a meal out.
The house sits only a few metres from the shore and features an impressive semi‑circle window that frames exceptional views in every direction - west towards Leverburgh and Northton Hill, east towards Skye and the Cuillins, and behind the house the peak of Roineabhal rises over the landscape. The combination of contemporary design and wild coastal scenery creates a truly special place to unwind.
Blacksheep House is perfect for a relaxing holiday at any time of year. Guests can sit back and enjoy the ever‑changing views, watch for otters and eagles, and let the ebb and flow of the tide bring a sense of calm. For those who prefer to explore, the surrounding countryside offers spectacular walking, fresh coastal air and the shifting sounds and scents of this remarkable island.
Whether you choose quiet days indoors or adventures along the Harris coastline, Blacksheep House offers a luxurious, peaceful retreat in one of the most beautiful settings in the Outer Hebrides.
