The accommodation was exceptionally comfortable and furnished to an excellent standard and exceeded my expectations. The views from the Fisherman's Hut across the Loch were stunning. I have to say that never before have I had such a peaceful and restful vacation as I had at the Fisherman's Hut.

The house was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. The location was lovely, with spectacular views from the bench, which was a very short walk away. The hot tub was great fun (fitted 5 adults)

A very warm and confortable place, very well furnished, very well located. The fireplace is a must. The owners are very nice : we found fresh eggs and cakes when we arrived.

We stayed outside Tarbert but made use of Tarbert for shopping, petrol and dinner. The town is cute (there aren't many towns to speak of on these islands anyway) and has all the basic necessities you'd need during a stay on Harris/Lewis. Obviously, for anything major, you'd have to go to Stornoway, but that doesn't usually apply to people on holidays.

Tarbert is a small island town, with small shops.
Tarbert is a small island town, with small shops. There is a reasonable sized car park in the centre. It has a butcher/grocer store, and a small post office, a friendly small charity shop, and a Bank of Scotland.
For tourist gifts there is the Harris Tweed store near the distillery, as well as the lovely “essence of Harris” soap and candle shop in the town centre, near the Calmac office. There are two hotels: the modern Hotel Hebrides opposite the Calmac office building, and the more upmarket Harris Hotel just up on the road to North Harris: both are ideal bases from which to explore Harris and Lewis, with the mountains, beaches, and cycling routes.
We loved Tarbert, very relaxed and friendly, with a lovely community feel.

Not as much there as I expected, limited choice of places to eat dinner. Be prepared to travel long distances to visit the fabulous pristine white beaches of South Harris. Bring what you need as one shop charged £15:95 for a tube of Voltoral, the Co-op in Stornaway same tube same size £5:95. What a rip off, can't recall the name it was the middle of the street a few doors down from the newsagent, not the shop at the top of the hill.
If you want an amazing meal with a fabulous view try Talla Na Malla, it's around 15 miles South of Tarbet, but so worth it, if there at sunset it's truly beautiful.

Wow! where do I start, the whole place was great, everyone on the Island were really friendly, Dunarain guest house was our choice of stay and have given a 5* review, did a total of 270 miles all around Harris, Stornaway, Butt of Harris, south Harris, and a trip down the Golden Road is a must for any visitor, we will defiantly visit Harris again and allow more time as we only stayed three nights

We were holidaying in November and a lot of Tarbert (and the rest of the island) was closed. If you are self catering there are two small grocery stores but you might need to travel to Stornoway for a larger shop.
The surrounding area - 3 miles south where we were staying was lovely with beautiful views.

Book if you want to go out to eat.
Book if you want to go out to eat. Remember to wear a face mask when shopping. Local people very friendly and helpful. Drive careful and be respectful of passing places and other drivers.
Some businesses still closed due to Covid.
The location was very convenient for taking the ferry. We also loved the room. The bathroom was fantastic. We had a tub and shower - plus great smelling shower/bath products. (I mention that because we had a hotel on Skye that had a tub, but the toiletries they provided were terrible.) I immediately took a bath which was exactly what I needed after all the rain and wind we experienced exploring through the day. We’d booked dinner at the hotel - it was fine and had great service.
We had a truly wonderful stay here. John and Marlene were fabulous hosts, very welcoming and informative. We loved the breakfast bento box - esp the Homebase bread, homemade yoghurt, muffins, pate and marmalade. Breakfast was a real treat. We also enjoyed the extra touches - homemade shortbread and a glass of whisky in our room. Easy walk into Tarbert and excellent location for visiting the stunning beaches of Harris.
Everything was exceptional. The bed was the most comfortable we had slept in anywhere in Scotland, the Bento Box breakfast was out of this world, the shower was of the highest quality, as we're all the furnishings, fixtures, and bedding. Our host though was why we would come back. He was such a kind person and engaging conversationalist with whom we immensely enjoyed spending time.
our unit had two bedrooms, kitchen, and a living room with a porch overlooking the harbor. It was immaculately clean and well appointed. Prosecco in the refrigerator to welcome us and a very friendly and helpful reception desk. We ate dinner at the hotel and it was excellent. Once again, top-notch customer service.
Everything! Quiet location, but not too far from facilities (providing you have a car of course - about 5 mile from Tarbert?)
For a couple like us it was perfect - plenty of hot water, plenty of kitchen appliances and utensils, washing machine and tumble dryer + cosy log burning stove if needed (we didn’t 😊)
Loved the elevated position allowing a view of the harbour …or it will when they finish building it! Portree is an excellent base to explore Harris and Lewis and very convenient for the ferry. Food in the hotel was good and staff friendly. The apartment was very well equipped and beautifully decorated.
Dave and Jane made us feel so welcome. They also really helped us with travel replanning after a ferry cancellation. The location of the hotel is stunning and very convenient for Tarbert. The breakfasts are too die for. Everyday there is a different complementary whisky in the room. What’s not to like?!!
We have nothing but the highest praise for the view, the room, the care, and the hosts. John was a delight, and made every effort to make our stay easy, comfortable, and memorable. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it for anyone traveling to Harris.
Excellent across the board. We very comfortable, well-decorated and very well equipped apartments. Location is very convenient for access to the island’s main attractions. Friendly service and very good restaurant. All in all a great choice on Harris.
Our room at the Hotel Hebrides was well appointed and extreme clean. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided, with snacks, and a small refrigerator.  We ate in the bar a couple of times, and the food was great, and the staff very pleasant.
A perfect location, private and right next to the sea, although without a sea view as such. Easy access to Tarbert and the beaches at Luskentyre and Scarista. Facilities were great and the property was very clean and comfortable.
The hotel has a no pet policy. Fortunately our stay was saved by Judith on reception looking after our dog overnight (2 nights) which was fantastic. The hotel was great otherwise with a cosy atmosphere and good food.
John is a wonderful host and has created a warm and comfortable bed and breakfast in a unique location. He is knowledgeable, interesting and friendly and makes excellent suggestions about places to visit on Harris.
Amazing location, very beautiful set up and lots of amenities. Lovely to have the Essence of Harris soaps in the bathroom and shop across the street. Nice touch having milk in the fridge, and the Prosecco.
Very helpful hosts, beautiful location, very comfortable accommodation, easy to find, very close to the Uig - Tarbert ferry, amazing views whilst eating breakfast! Very relaxing!
