Isle of Harris & Lewis - Full Week

What you'll do

A week on Harris & Lewis

If picture-postcard scenery, Caribbean beaches and rugged beauty at every turn is what you are looking for - this is the place to go in Scotland.

We've set out a week that gets you around the North and South of the island at a sensible place (island time is the best!)- allowing you to take in some of its best sights.

However, you can always tailor this itinerary based on a shorter time, or if you choose to stay in a different location. We'd always advise booking places early, as there aren't lots of places to stay on the island, and even the campsites book out fast.

Also, make the most of the big supermarket at Stornaway to stock up - there aren't lots of places to eat on the island to get food so packed lunches really pay off!

The truth is, whatever the weather, you can't not fall in love with this island and everything it has to offer.

Day 1

Day One:

One of the easiest to book and most frequent routes on the ferry is from Ullapool to Stornaway. Check in at the ferry terminal and grab a bit at the seafood shack.

You'll likely arrive later into Stornaway so pick up supplies at the supermarket and make your way to your accommodation. Uig Sands, just under an hour away, is a great place for camping, or for amazing retreats like Hebrides House. It's one of the best spots to hole up for the week.

Hebrides House

Luxury beachside stay

There are some places you stay that leave a mark on you forever and Hebrides House is one of them. With wall to wall views across Uig Sands, stunning interiors and eagles soaring overhead - this stay is arguably one of the best on the island.

The main house sleeps up to 10 guests in luxury comfort, but at certain times of year the annexe area can also be booked for couples and is well worth trying to book too.

Nearby beaches are incredible, Uig Sands Restaurant is within walking distance and there's an outside bath that you have to try while you are there. It's also dog friendly.
