Hot tub was fantastic. Would recommend to anyone to stay! Lovely place to get away from everything and everyone. Will definitely be... read more back in a flash! Loved every minute More
October 1, 2022As 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

It took some time to get to grips with planning a week's trip to the Outer Hebrides for the first time. Now I feel I know it all and need... read more to return again already. Harris is by far our favourite island, the beaches, mountain climb, walks, swims in the crystal clear sea, great meals and really kind, charming people. Flodabay Cabin was absolutely perfect, a really comfortable sweet cabin, with fully working kitchen, oven and hob, microwave, fridge, (incl tea, coffee, salt & pepper) excellent bathroom / shower, very comfy bed with pop up TV screen! and the most important part.. the stunning views over Flodabay and hot tub. We would never book somewhere for the hot tub but here we used it every day, easy to use (uncover and step in) and we were able to enjoy those stunning views, even at night to enjoy gazing at the milky way, and also in the day to watch golden eagles soaring over head. Breathtaking. We were lucky with the weather, sunshine to explore and enjoy the views. It rained the last part of our trip and the cabin was the perfect place to rest, and get cosy in-between walks. The B&B is a separate business down near the house. The cabin is behind and up the hill with it's own driveway, behind a secure gate, and own land. beautifully remote. 2 lochs a short walk behind the cabin too. We...

Thank you Tony for making us feel so welcome and for checking in with us throughout the stay. It was hard to leave.

September 21, 2023We arrived at the chalet after a lovely trip on the ferry. We were met by Tony who couldn’t have been more welcoming. We were then taken up to the... read more chalet and were blown away by how beautiful it was and the view was spectacular. The chalet is very well equipped and spotlessly clean.

August 15, 2021Flodabay Farm-
... read more The perfect get away for a our romantic break.
3 nights were never going to be enough so as we
left we booked for next year but for a week this time.
The Seafood Buffet was the best we have ever had and
the home made Oatcakes were amazing.
See you next July guys.
Butty Bus-
This plaice sells the best Fish and Chips at a price
which we at first thought it was a mistake but it was
correct! WOW! The proper filter coffee was a nice change
from the usual instant. But most of all the friendly service
even though this place was so busy made it a real pleasure to
eat out here! We will be back!

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

We have been to here before and continue to love its enduring charm. It is a relaxed place, where nothing is too much trouble for the owners, who... read more make you feel part of their family. The setting is stunning with views that are breathtaking.
We would definitely recommend this place to anyone that wants a relaxing break. More
