“A wee bit disappointed with this hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

We stayed here with friends on a 5 night tour of the Outer Hebrides at the end of May 2011. We paid extra for superior rooms which were very small. Glad we did not go for the standard rooms! We had been told this was one of the better hotels in the area but we were a bit disappointed. They say first impressions of a hotel are very important and I agree. The check in was fine but when we went into the bar we encountered a most surly foreign barman, who was wasting a staggering amount of lager when pouring a pint for myself. It was so bad that I commented and suggested that maybe I should try something else. I was most surprised when he just shrugged his shoulders and said it was not a problem as it was not his money he was wasting! We booked a table in the restaurant for 8 pm and the quality of the food was excellent but the service was far too quick. We had finished our 3 course meal by 9 pm. We heard later that a number of the staff were going to a function in the adjacent inn which was maybe why they were so keen to rush us. I think we were disappointed because we had expected more. Would we go back? Perhaps. We maybe just got them on a bad day. The big plus was the food at both breakfast and dinner was very good and the rooms were clean and comfortable.It is also well situated for exploring the area.

1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2011

i spent 2 weeks in the harris hotel, same 4 main meals on menu every night, cheifs special was same for the 2 weeks, food and drinks are expensive. The heating during night was turned off so woke up freezing in morning, was there in december at freezing temperatures, had argue with staff for extra heater, cobwebs all over the corner off the room, wouldnt recommend a 2 week visit

Room Tip: make sure you view room before you book.

“The place to stay in Tarbert”

We spent two nights here. The dinners and breakfasts were very good to great. The desk clerk was most helpful in planning our next day's itinerary. The room was clean and fine. The staff was most helpful. This hotel is excellent for Harris. Proximity to the ferry terminal was a plus.

“Friendly hotel, traditional feel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

person found this review helpful

I enjoyed a couple of nights at the Harris Hotel. A warm old-fashioned (in a good way) family hotel. I had a clean and comfortable room, which was very welcome as I arrived in the driving rain (the very helpful bus driver will drop you off outside the hotel, which is a few minutes walk from the main bus stop in Tarbert). The restaurant was very good both for dinner and breakfast. There is a cosy bar with a conservatory adjoining, and large lounges with free tea and coffee after dinner. Staff were attentive and friendly, I was on my own but didn't feel left out. Couldn't fault my stay, would highly recommend the Harris Hotel.

“Old fashioned charm”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

Lovely, traditional hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, our room clean. We had two meals in the restaurant which were both great. We left very early in the morning so they made us a take away breakfast.
