Fodor's Expert Review Scarista House

This lovingly converted Georgian manse (minister's residence) offers large and comfortable bedrooms; a peaceful location with spectacular views over a pristine, 3-mile, sandy beach; and a dining experience that's unmatched on Harris. The hotel's communal lounge is as cozy as can be, with comfy sofas positioned around a roaring fire; pluck a book from groaning bookshelf and settle in for the evening. For longer stays, the hotel's self-service Glebe Cottage can be rented by the week.
