This property has a security deposit of £150.. Tigh Mairi is a well-equipped and comfortable detached house that has had some renovation work done with a new bathroom and shower, April 2026. This traditional style croft house is in an elevated position and offers the most breathtaking views over the island of Scalpay.
It is accessed by a steep track with a cattle grid. Some points to note are that this property is not one of the more modern refurbished properties that are available on the island, should you prefer that.
Please see the photos for a representation.
Please note that there is no dishwasher.
Due to the location, the phone signal is quite weak inside the house, but there is a landline you can use for emergencies.
Starlink Wifi has been added for 2026. The house has heaters and an open fire, but is not centrally heated, so you might also want to bear that in mind if you feel the cold easily. In Tarbert, 4 miles away, you will find a grocery shop, post office, places to eat, 2 pubs, the Harris Tweed Shop and the very popular Harris Gin Distillery.
Harris has a wide range of landscapes, all of which have their own charm and interest.
On the west coast lie some of the most spectacular beaches with large open machair areas. In the north, the terrain is rugged, mountainous and has a lunar feel to it, with the exposed rocks being a result of glacial erosion from the Ice Ages.
The area is known as ‘The Bays’ because of the many small, quiet inlets.
Wildlife is abundant, a birdwatcher’s paradise, loch, sea angling and hill walking; The Clisham, the highest mountain in the Western Isles, is only a short drive from Tigh Mairi. There are many art galleries, Harris Tweed weaving, boat trips to St. Kilda, and so much more.
In general, the attraction of the Isle of Harris is its peace and tranquillity, the magnificent scenery and beaches and with the shoreline just 400 yards away, come, explore and enjoy.
The spectacular beaches of South Harris are 14 miles away.
Shop, pub and restaurant 4 miles. Free WiFi Access to the house is via a steep track (please use 1st gear). Please leave the gate closed at all times so that sheep do not get in the garden. There is limited internet signal and/or mobile reception at the property. EPC Rating = B We highly recommend that you book your ferry as soon as possible as ferries get very busy.

This is a homely cottage in a nice remote location, with views out over Loch Tarbert, Scalpay and The Minch. The accommodation was comfortable and clean, though some might find it a bit old fashioned. So not suited to those looking for modern and pristine. It was great for us, however. Four miles from Tarbert, and a couple from Scalpay.
Very good

Firstly Irene the owner (I presume) was very responsive. There were a few issues she did attempt to resolve within our stay. It's unfortunate there is no provision for recycling and also that the wifi was incredibly bad (1.0mb download) which is fine of course as we were on holiday but it wasn't str...

Absolutely beautiful spot for this cottage. Could not fault the views. Comfortable cottage with all we needed. However a couple of things could be updated, washing machine and cooker are quite rusty. No tumble drier but there is a washing line and plenty of wind when we stayed so didn't affect us. M...
