I stayed for two nights with my boyfriend and we loved the scenery that was around us encouraging us to use our time to explore and walk around flodabay. Tony and Sharon have amazing information packs and maps of the surrounding area which helped us plan out where we were going to go and what we were going to do. We were able to fully switch off from our busy lives by relaxing in the hot tub which has a Bluetooth speaker and when the night falls even has lights that come on. When it became colder outside into the evening the hot tub was still enjoyable with the perfect temperature. When it was time to go into the chalet we made use of the cookery appliances cooking a lovely meal. There was a good space to prepare and cook food as well as the clean up afterwards. The bed was comfortable and the telly comes out from the bottom which left the evening movie night feeling cosy and enjoyable. The shower is really powerful and is just what I needed in the morning to make myself feel fresh and then off for another dip in the hot tub to further relax. Again Tony and Sharon...

Again Tony and Sharon were the friendliest hosts and really took the time to explain and show around the chalet. They engaged in chit chat and made my partner and myself feel really comfortable and like we really were staying at a small home from home.
I will definitely be staying here again! It is well worth the hype and the experience again.

Stayed here for 3 nights and WOW what a place! I have travelled far and wide and words actually failed me when we pulled up to the long windy road... read more upto the wee lodge! Seafood to die for and all just a phone call away and delivered any time 24/7! Nothing and I mean nothing is too much trouble for this family run oasis! Booked for 2 weeks as we left! WOW!
December 1, 2021After reading the incredible reviews about the chalet I decided to book it as a surprise for my husbands 50th! I couldn’t have made a better decision, from the moment... read more I first enquired to the minute we waved goodbye our hosts Tony & Sharron just couldn’t have done more to make our stay perfect. Incredible communication, advice and suggestions, and the most delicious venison burgers & wild boar sausages (highly recommend ordering these)!
The chalet is the most beautiful, secluded corner of heaven I have ever stayed at, actually no words or photos will do justice to the utterly beautiful setting, I don’t think either of us have felt so relaxed, at peace and switched off in a very long time! The views are breath taking, the silence is indescribable and the location just unbeatable.
The chalet itself is kitted out with everything you might need including plenty of helpful and thoughtful extra touches as well, binoculars which were wonderful for hours of bird watching and seal spotting! They even put a few local beers in the fridge for the birthday boy, so unbelievably thoughtful! The hot tub was just incredible and sitting there looking out to sea at the end of the day was just magical.
I just cannot recommend this place enough, a real opportunity to switch off and reconnect with nature and yourself.
Huge thank you to our hosts and we will be back without a doubt! More

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
August 16, 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. We had a great 4 nights exploring the island it’s just amazing. We look forward to coming back. Thank you Tony and Sharon.

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
