We hope we’ve covered everything you need to know, feel free to email escape@harrishideaway.co.uk if you have any questions.
Q. Are dogs allowed?
Absolutely! Up to 3 dogs can come to stay at Harris Hideaway. We ask that they are not allowed on the bed, otherwise our housekeep might hand her notice in when it comes to washing the linen. If your dogs are usually allowed on sofas at home, then please bring their favourite rugs to cover our sofas, then you can get snug with them.
Q. Can we bring the kids?
Sadly not, this is an adults only retreat. Time for the grown ups to escape for some R&R.
Q. Nearest food shops?
You’ll find everything you need in Tarbert, 20 mins drive away. There are two small food shops Browny’s and AD Munro’s along with Loomshed Brewery & Deli / takeaway coffee shop.
There’s also a great selection in the petrol station at Ardhasaig, 15 mins away.
Check out the Castle Honesty Shop at Amhuinsuuidhe, for local venison & treats, don’t forget to take cash.
If you are getting the ferry over to Stornaway then there’s a large Tesco’s and Co-op.
