The details
On the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, just off Scotland's northwest coast, this modernist marvel boasts a slick design, arresting views, and a getaway in a location that is truly one of a kind.
Although contemporary in appearance, Blue Hare blends in seamlessly with its surrounding rugged landscape. Its sharp corners and angled ceilings lend it an avant-garde aesthetic, while the overall appearance offers a nod to Scottish bothy cottages.
The interior is open-planned and has everything you could need for a cosy island escape - including a warming wood burner. Sleeping a maximum of two guests, Blue Hare is perfect for those couples who enjoy nothing more than each other's company, the great outdoors, and an escape from city life. Just make sure to bring your walking boots!
The interior has been beautifully and considerately decorated with a keen eye for style and practicality evident throughout. Large windows offer arresting island views, bathing the rooms in light during the day, while starlit skies are in full view during the night. The main area is open planned, housing a well-equipped kitchen with a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge, oven and ceramic hob, a small dining table for two, and a comfy king size bed.
The far end of the room has a wall-mounted TV, a cosy wood burner, and two armchairs which look out through the floor to ceiling windows. The bathroom is a wet room and includes a rain shower, underfloor heating, and a WC. Step outside the house and onto the large decking area, where you can enjoy a BBQ or your morning coffee amidst the serenity of island life.
A recent and rather magical addition to Blue Hare is the outdoor bath, perfectly positioned to make the most of the island setting. Set on the decking, it invites long, unhurried soaks with nothing but sea air, birdsong and vast Hebridean skies for company. It’s an experience that captures the spirit of Harris perfectly: elemental, restorative and unforgettable. The water here is also something special. Wonderfully pure and exceptionally soft, it'll add a little extra luxury to your stay. You’ll notice it in the bath and shower, and even in your morning tea or coffee, which somehow tastes all the better for it.
Known for its rugged landscapes, striking island views, and its various hiking trails, the Isle of Harris is a firm favourite of outdoor lovers. It also makes for an ideal wildlife-spotting location, with eagles, seals, whales, dolphins and otters all observable along the coast. In nearby Lingerbay Loch, there are plenty of outdoor activities on offer, including fishing, swimming, paddle boarding, and kayaking. For those looking for an adrenaline rush in the bracing waters of the Hebrides, the pitted coastline offers numerous opportunities for surfing.

We booked the end of September for a short stay prepared to have 5 days of rain and strong winds, confident from the reviews that we would be happy spending our time in Blue Hare mesmerized by the view both the foreground but also out to Skye and beyond. We were lucky the weather was perfect, warm Autumn, bookended by rain with double rainbows. So enamoured were we with this bothy we cancelled plans to eat out in the evening and came back from exploring Harris to enjoy the magic of being inside this place. Blue Hare is a stunning architectural gem unobtrusively nestling in its landscape. The landscape has shaped it's form and it manages to be outstanding and a good fit into the small cleft in the hill. Beverley and Angus are warm, welcoming yet discrete hosts. Book early or you will be disappointed David & Lalith
