From the owner

Glorig Croft House is in the spectacular setting of Beadersaig, less than one mile from Husinish Beach (voted best beach in the UK by the Guardian newspaper!) on the north west Atlantic coast of the Isle of Harris. Travel along the dramatic 13 mile single track road, passing the front door of Amhuinnsuidhe Castle and Bay, and enjoy the breathtaking views over to Taransay and the beaches of South Harris. Golden beaches, sea lochs, hill and peninsula walks are all within a 10 minute stroll. The sea views, cosy conservatory, garden river, open peat fire and original tongue and groove interiors all help ensure a memorable stay.

GLORIG has been renovated throughout in 2020 which has refreshed the whole house and now has a beautiful family bathroom with walk in rainfall shower,

Bright and spacious with 4 bedrooms, bathroom, toilet and shower room, Glorig Croft House can comfortably accommodate up to 7 guests. Enjoy spending your days beach combing, surfing, fishing, walking or just sitting on a rock reading your favourite novel, then relax in the large conservatory with outstanding views over the Atlantic. A truly 'get away from it all' holiday!

Further details

As it is 30 minutes drive to the nearest shop, it is advisable to stock up on everyday groceries before arriving.
