We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Flodabay for our honeymoon.
Tony and Sharon we so friendly, welcoming and helpful. They really made every effort to ensure that we... read more had a fantastic stay. The attention to detail with everything made it so special.
It was immaculately clean and the bed was super comfy!
The location is great. Far enough away from the local town that it is peaceful and quiet, but close enough that everything you need is on hand.
It’s set in beautiful hills, after walking for only a few minutes we felt we were the only people around for miles!
It’s also right on the coast with a beautiful sea view!
Thank you both so much for a fantastic stay! We will be back! 🙂

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...

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

We stayed in the pod, and it is a truly wonderful place to be. Everything is thought through and designed to maximise the location and views. On that, we left... read more the blinds open all night just to watch the Sun set then rise - fantastic. It was good to let the cares of the World drain away and just sit and watch that World pass by. We loved the hot tub. Owners Sharon and Tony couldn't have been more helpful, and it was a genuine pleasure to chat to them. All in all a marvellous stay. Thank you Tony and Sharon, for your help and generosity. More

We recently booked this campsite for September, and the owner Tony couldn’t have been more helpful. It was all very straightforward, and judging by the reviews and photos, we are... read more looking forward to our stay immensely. We are glad we booked it well in advance, as it does seem very popular, and he only just managed to squeeze us in!

From what I heard previous to our stay, my expectation were high, and I am so happy to say it way exceeded my expectation, the views spectacular, the hot tub... read more relaxing, the double bed comfy, the amenities plentiful, but it was the little touches around the place that showed that our host Sharon & Tony really cared that our stay was as pleasurable and relaxing as we wanted.
If there's a better chalet on the island I would like to see it, can't wait to go back More
