we travelled here for a couple of days to visit the island my family originate from. we were late as i got the ferry times wrong and the family were not in when we arrived. they had left a note on the door to come in and make ourselves at home which i thought was wonderful. They arrived home shortly after that and the welcome we were given was wonderful and warm. the room was spotless and this hotel more than deserves its 4 stars. breakfast was great with a large selection of foods which were sourced locally. overall i feel that the b and b was the cherry on the icing on the cake for a trip that i have wanted to make for over 30 years. Margaret and Kenny are superb hosts and nothing is too much trouble. the house itself is immaculate and there was nothing i could fault. i would return here tomorrow if we could

We were very disappointed to arrive and find no one in! We waited in the rain for 30 mins. Fortunately our trip involved some camping and we had our tent as back up however if we had relied on this B&B we would have been stuck. Looking at previous reviews this is not the first time its happened.

Hirta House is ten minutes outside Tarbert on the island of Scalpay which is joined to Harris by a bridge. The welcome was friendly with the conservatory well lit for us so we could find the house as we arrived so late. Nothing was too much trouble for the Morrisons from our late arrival from Ullapool to hints about what we might see on Harris or organising breakfast to suit our timetable The room was spacious and comfortable with views over the small harbour, and it was quiet.. There was a comfortable lounge available and breakfast was superb. It was a lovely place to stay.

Margaret & Kenny were warm and welcoming hosts. Kenny's excellent breakfasts are fit for gargantuans. I recommend the suite with the circular bed. Fine bed linen
