Winter in the Outer Hebrides may be pretty wild, but it will certainly be unforgettable. Whether you are curled up on a fireside sofa listening to the Atlantic winds, or outside enjoying vivid blue skies above white sandy beaches we guarantee that this is one place that will not leave you in a hurry!
Situated just a few miles from Leverburgh on the south west coast of the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, Kyle’s House is a beautiful cottage from which to seek out everything that Harris has to offer. Set on a hillside, surrounded by wild flower meadow and heathland, it overlooks the Sound of Harris with spectacular views across the sea to the islands of North Uist, Skye and the many small islands of the Sound.
And due to a last minute cancellation there are currently discounts available during December and January, meaning that the cost of renting this Scottish bolthole comes down to only £900 per week over Christmas or New Year, and only £540 from January through to March. Kyle’s House sleeps 6 people in three bedrooms, 2 of which are ensuite. Downstairs, there is a fully equipped kitchen, a sitting room and the stunning sunroom that gives far-reaching views over the Sound of Harris –a great place to watch the scenery change in front of your eyes! The Outer Hebrides is a magical place to be at anytime of year but over these winter months it really is in a league of its own. Kyle’s House is a great base for long walks to explore the island, although with its cosy wood burner you'll feel just as content to relax with a good book and a glass of wine to enjoy this exceptional spot. Good pubs and restaurants in nearby Leverburgh allow you a real rest from the daily routine – it really is the perfect place to blow away the cobwebs of 2008 and recharge your batteries in anticipation of an exhilarating 2009.
