About
As a small hotel, Scarista House has been welcoming guests for over 40 years, but there has been a tradition of hospitality in this former manse for over two hundred years. Originally the Minister would have welcomed members of his congregation, now visitors come to enjoy traditional comfort in the six elegantly furnished guest rooms and natural, skilled cooking and good wines in the intimate dining rooms. A library and first floor drawing room, both with open fires, are also available to guests to enjoy afternoon tea or pre-dinner drinks. Pets are welcome and they will particularly enjoy the freedom of the, usually deserted, sandy beach opposite the house.
A daily changing no choice set menu of carefully sourced organic, local or home-grown produce is served in the two dining rooms. The hotel’s garden provides salad, herbs and vegetables in season. Bread, cakes, biscuits, jams, marmalade, ice cream and chocolates are all made on the premises. Meat is free-range and, when possible, from animals reared on the Island. Fish and shellfish are from Hebridean waters.
Scarista House holds a Good Hotel Guide César Award (“the Oscars of hotel-keeping”) and is listed in the Good Food Guide, the Michelin Guide, Scotland the Best, and Alastair Sawday’s “Eat Slow Britain”.
