Scarista House

Experience traditional comfort in an elegant small hotel in a beautiful location.

Scarista is one of the most beautiful and remote places to stay in Scotland, with lovely views from Scarista House of the Atlantic Ocean, heather-covered mountains, and a three-mile long sandy beach.

There has been a tradition of hospitality at Scarista House for a couple of hundred years. In former times the minister who lived in this Georgian manse, now a Grade B listed building, would have played host to visitors to his church; now it is a small hotel where guests can enjoy traditional comfort in well-furnished guest rooms, open fires in the sitting rooms and natural, skilled cooking and good wines in the dining room. 

Pets are welcome by prior arrangement. There is also a dog-friendly self-catering cottage.

Traditional Comfort

Choose from three elegant bedrooms in the main house or three suites in the adjacent Glebe House. Every room offers a view of the sea, sand and hills and is furnished to reflect the period and original use of the house. 

Every room captures the beauty of the sea, sand, and rolling hills.
