Machair Room (Bedroom 2)

The Machair Room is a celebration of the rich grasslands and clear waters that surround the house. Bursting into flower in the summer with delicate harebells, orchids and clovers, the riot of colour outside is echoed within.

The room can be configured as a super-king double or two single Hypnos beds, and guests can make use of the unique Boat Bathroom across the hallway.

Boat Bathroom

The Boat Bathroom is a beautifully designed and utterly original space, featuring a bespoke bath surround created by a Harris boat builder. Moored on a flow of heated pebbles, and with tiling features that use shells from Scarista beach, the shower screen of this boat bath forms a sail, completing the room’s design.

A luxurious and memorable space, the Boat Bathroom celebrates the flocks of oystercatchers that are so common on Harris.

The study also has a Smart TV and is a quiet place to relax as well as to work if you have to.
