Claddach House, Borve, Isle of Harris, Western Isles

Claddach House, deriving its name from the Gaelic word for 'shore,' is a traditional stone-built croft house that beautifully embodies its meaning. Located in the scenic Borve valley, a leisurely stroll through its garden path leads across a single-track road and through a stretch of machair grassland, culminating at the secluded Borve beach. Here, guests are treated to expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean and the picturesque 'Castaway' Isle of Taransay.

The interior of Claddach House is a testament to thoughtful design, blending nautical inspirations with a touch of Cape Cod style. The walls, panelled in soft hues, complement the solid, time-honoured construction of the traditional Hebridean croft house, which has been carefully updated with modern fixtures and amenities to enhance comfort without sacrificing charm.

Designed to accommodate up to six guests, Claddach House is ideally suited for both families and couples. The ground floor hosts a spacious dining room, a fully equipped open-plan kitchen, and a cosy sitting room—complete with a fireplace that becomes a central gathering place during the evenings.

Sleeping arrangements include two double bedrooms, with one offering the convenience of an en-suite bathroom. This en-suite room can also be converted into a twin bedroom to suit guests' needs. The house also features a separate bathroom located on the first floor, a cloakroom, and a well-appointed utility room equipped with a washing machine and tumble dryer.

For entertainment and connectivity, Claddach House is equipped with a Freeview satellite TV system and wireless internet. The kitchen boasts both gas and electric hobs, a dishwasher, and is complemented by oil-fired central heating and radiators throughout the residence, ensuring a warm and inviting environment. Additionally, a wood-burning stove adds a rustic touch to the modern amenities, with fuel provided to ensure a cosy atmosphere.

Claddach House invites guests to experience the beauty of its surroundings and the comfort of a home that merges traditional charm with contemporary living, making it a perfect getaway for those seeking both relaxation and adventure in the heart of the Hebrides.
