A Unique Estate in the Outer Hebrides

In one of Europe’s last great wildernesses, guests at Borve Lodge Estate can take in Scotland’s most spectacular shoreline in all its natural splendour. There are miles of crystal clear ocean, a plethora of animals, fishing spots, and hiking trails on Harris. You may even take a trip to Taransay, a beautiful island owned by Borve Lodge Estate.

Our award-winning self catering properties combine the raw natural beauty of the Isle of Harris with unique modern elegance. 

This is the ideal location for a romantic and sumptuous holiday, with views of Taransay, hills in the north of the island, and an archipelago of islands in the Sound of Harris. Take in the breathtaking panoramic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean slamming upon some of the region’s numerous gorgeous beaches such as Luskentyre, Seilebost, and Horgabost.

Our five-star luxury accommodation (The Broch and The Rock House) provides remote and quiet accommodation that is completely private.  Set in the picturesque secluded village of Borve on the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, providing the ultimate Hebridean escape.

Borve Lodge Estate, which offers exquisite self-catering cottages on the lovely Isle of Harris, will greet you with a warm welcome.

Scotland's Greatest Escapes

BBC programme Scotland’s Greatest Escapes takes viewers on a captivating journey to the Isle of Harris, where the spotlight shines on The Broch, nestled within the Borve Lodge Estate. This architectural marvel, a three-storey drystone building crowned with a turf roof, draws inspiration from the ancient Iron Age structures that once dotted the Scottish coastline.

Cathra and Adam, the visionary owners of the estate since 2008, dedicated three years to meticulously crafting The Broch, blending historical inspiration with modern luxury. Their passion for Scottish heritage doesn’t stop there; they also own Taransay, the UK’s largest uninhabited island, adding to their legacy of preserving and celebrating Scotland’s natural beauty and history.
