Borve Lodge Estate - Self-catering in Western Isles
Borve, Isle of Harris, HS3 3HT, Western Isles
Scotland,
Reino Unido
For lovers of remote country retreats, of breathing deeply and unwinding totally, and for those with a taste for funkily furnished sustainable buildings: timber is reclaimed, stone is from the hillside you see framed by weather-proof windows.
The Broch echoes an Iron Age roundhouse and The Rock House is a single storey space built into the rugged landscape – take both and get together for hill-walking, fishing, bird-spotting and beach-combing forays straight out from the door. Go a little further for surfing, kayaking, golfing, boat trips; places to eat nearby range from the simple to high-end.
Come home to books and games to play by the log-burning stove. Bathrooms are glamorous and kitchens top-notch; shops are a 10-minute drive. The team at Borve can advise on distillery tours, Harris tweed-making demonstrations and exhibitions, dolphin and eagle-spotting trips – but to be sure, visit the North Harris Eagle Observatory.
