Flodabay Farm

  As soon as you drive off of the ferry onto Lewis/Harris soil, you know you're somewhere special. Despite being within view (just!) of mainland Scotland, you feel like you're on... read more a different continent, such is the rugged beauty of these wonderful islands. With the bendy, elevating, single lane roads, winding around the beautiful coastline, you could easily forget you're still on UK soil - by the way, did I mention the dolphins that swam along with the ferry?
As Tony meets you at the gates to the private croft that the chalet is located on, the adventure starts immediately, with a foot-down blast up the (fairly) steep gravel track that leads you to your little chunk of paradise.
The chalet itself is everything you'd expect, having read the description on the website, and seen the pictures. It's exactly as Tony and Sharon describe it - and then some.
What they can't describe (can anybody?) is the feeling you get when you walk around the chalet, look out over the bay (See attached picture) and realise that this piece of heaven is all yours for the duration of your stay. And I mean, all yours, it's so beautifully secluded.
In short, Flodabay Farm will reset your ideas of what relaxation is and send you home with a newly discovered calmness in a world that's currently going bonkers.
It's a Wonderful place! More

  Myself and my partner had spent lots of time trying to find the perfect place to stay on Harris and wowsers did we find it with Tony and Sharon's beautiful... read more chalet. On the day of our arrival Tony and Sharon kept in touch with us to make sure our arrival was seemless and it really was. Tony and Sharon are two of the kindest people we have met, we had become engaged the previous night and upon sharing this news we arrived to a bottle of prosecco from Tony and Sharon to celebrate with which was such a kind gesture. The chalet itself is stunning, the views are breath taking, the place is spotlessly clean, there is everything you would ever need and the hot tub is a real treat. There are binoculars to watch the wildlife from the chalet and this became one of our favourite things to do during our stay, we saw seals and birds of prey from the comfort of the sofa in the chalet. A short walk down to the shore line from the chalet and we were met with 3 amazing seals swimming and sunbathing which really was a highlight to be so close to these amazing animals.

There are two lochs behind the chalet perfect for a walk and explore especially when you are returning to homemade venison burgers and partridge sausages (make sure to ask Tony and Sharon if they have any homemade burgers or sausages available for you to purchase as these really were AMAZING).

The final experience of note for us was star gazing from the chalet's decked area in the evenings, we genuinely had never seen stars like it, there are so many and even the northern lights made an appearance during our stay!!

Overall this place is an absolute dream holiday destination. 30 minutes from the stunning beaches of Luskentyre and Seilebost for a day at the beach followed by a cold beverage in the hot tub surrounded by absolute peace and tranquility.

Tony and Sharon are both wonderfully kind people, give their chalet a try you will NOT be dissapointed!!!!! More

Came across Tony and Sharon's website, and they offered their luxury chalet - they had us at the words 'hot tub'. On arrival Tony met us for a very thorough explanation of where everything was, and how everything worked, including the much anticipated hot tub, and very importantly the TV (Sky channels included) that rises from the bottom of the bed! The place was immaculate, with everything you needed for the stay - hob, oven, fridge, microwave, cooking utensils and the cutest chopping boards imaginable! The chess board based on the famous Lewis chess pieces was another lovely touch. Tony and Sharon were kind enough to include a breakfast pack for my other half's birthday, and he enjoyed a fry up on each of the morning we were there - the venison sausages were out of this world. This was easily the nicest, most luxurious, most awe inspiring place I have ever stayed. The views from the chalet are breathtaking - we enjoyed using the binoculars provided to try and birdwatch. There are two lochs to wander around right near by. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. Tony and Sharon are so lovely and welcoming, and so kind to post back a jacket that...

Tony and Sharon are so lovely and welcoming, and so kind to post back a jacket that we carelessly left behind (declining our offer to cover the cost of the postage!) They are perfect hosts in a perfect location and we cannot wait to return - for much longer next time!

Thank you Tony and Sharon! Can't wait to be back!! More

  I stayed at Flodabay for 5 nights and wish I'd stayed longer. I'd been in communication with Tony for well over a year and had to rearrange once because of... read more the pandemic - all communication was prompt and friendly with nothing too much trouble.

The excellent communication continued on the day I travelled and Tony was there to meet me on arrival to show me around. His pride in the cabin and its facilities was obvious and is entirely justified. The cabin is thoughtfully laid out and everything needed for a comfortable stay is there - even including SKY sports on the large TV that rises from the end of the bed!

The surroundings are absolutely beautiful with a number of lochs surrounded by hills that come to life as the light hits them to one side, and the sea to the other side. It's very easy to pass time sitting on the deck, or in the hot tub, with a bottle of the excellent local beer. I can also recommend Tony's venison sausages and wild boar burgers - and another beer.

Did I mention I wish I'd stayed longer? I've booked for 2 weeks next year 🙂 More

  Having had to cancel in 2020 and again in 2021 Tony the owner has been fantastic letting us know he was unable to open in may due to on going... read more upgrades and new pod and hot tube also new electrics.
