 Stayed here for two nights in September. Tony was at the gate to meet us with a very warm and friendly welcome, he took us up to our pitch which was absolutely amazing the panoramic views were stunning. Electric, water and CDP were all nearby.

Two lochs to explore which were so tranquil, it was so dark at night that the stars were amazing never seen so many.

Tony was the perfect host full of information about the area, he delivered our sea food platter to our door which was fantastic, Scallops, two types of Salmon, Crab and Lobster, such lovely flavours would definitely recommend.

If you are ever on Harris then this site is a must.

 We have stayed on many sites in the UK; many great locations. We love sites of 5 vans or less; Flodabay Farm, Harris met our needs pre booking and during our stay. A week prior to our stay Tony contacted us for final arrangements; this resulted in an informative direction to the site from the ferry. As promised Tony was waiting at the gate to ensure we were positioned on our pitch without any issues; a very warm welcome. The site is fantastic with views to die for; brown trout fishing and golf. Had my quarry on fly and the odd trout for breakfast. Wow what a cook; Tony/Sharon; I was spoilt with a fantastic selection of sea food suppers; you must indulge when you visit. Excellent hosts and excellent site, you will not be disappointed, exactly the opposite; we will be back soon

 Arrived to a very warm welcome from Tony. Very informative brief regarding the site. The site itself is amazing. Tony has obviously spent a lot of time on site placement, drainage, level pitches, privacy - everything you want from a well looked after site to be honest. We felt like the only people in the world as the site is so peaceful. The surrounding area and two lochs are amazing and have to be explored. Tony has very thoughtfully put posts out to guide people to the lochs and this means that you don't get wet feet! Sadly, being allergic to seafood I couldn't indulge in the amazing seafood platter. However, I still had food envy when it arrived! We really can't praise this site, and Tony and Sharon, highly enough. It's been made with love and pride. It's been a pleasure to not only stay there but to meet Tony and Sharon who are lovely, friendly and informative. We'll see you again soon.

Reviewer: Iandjp 8 reviews from this member

 Visited in July, everything others say about location is true - its just stunning, which can be missed if one just uses the usual route round the west of the island. For towed units and larger motorhomes this makes the journey more challenging, but well worth it for all that. Owners couldn't be nicer - friendly, very helpful and accommodating. This place deserves a 'site full' notice every day for their effort alone. Just such a shame we visited in one of their poorest July summers to date. If you want disco's, bright lights and noise - don't bother - if you want stark beauty, peace and the sort of customer care other sites could take as the exemplar, then make the effort.

 Harris at its absolute best - fantastic views, great scenery and lovely people. Site is idyllic, with very well thought out pitches, ensuring everyone has their own space. Met by Tony at the gate on arrival and he was extremely helpful. Seafood platter was outstanding and has to be tried. We will definitely be back.

 We chose to visit Flodabay Farm because of the excellent reviews we had read and we found it more than matched our expectations. The warm welcome, the facilities, the stunning views and the wildlife - not to mention the seafood platter - were all as reported by previous reviewers. We will certainly visit again and stay longer.

 OMG what a fantastic unique place this is, Firstly the road approaching from both Tarbet & Levensburgh is somewhat challenging single track hairpin bends shear drops etc. But we managed it with care in a large motorhome ! Tony, the owner met us at the gate and gave us instructions to follow his 4x4 up the steep gravel track keeping in 1st gear and not to start until he had reached the 'snowman' boulder at the top, after a bit of wheelspin and white knuckles we arrived at the top with the most amazing view in the world over the turquoise waters of the Minch towards Skye surrounded by a landscape that could be from another planet - amazing !There are only 4 pitches all with EHU and there's a few water points dotted about but no toilet or shower facilities ! There are otters & seals in the loch below and as our visit was during the end of June we were lucky enough to see the Most beautiful Midnight sun and an aurora (northern lights) We pre ordered the fish platter (£50 for two) that was absolutely superb (best scallops we've ever had) This is definitely a must stay site if your touring the Outer Hebrides ! we will be back !

Reviewer: Brockville 8 reviews from this member

 As others have said this is an unusual site. Only a very few pitches with no showers or toilets but if you have your own facilities it's no problem whatsoever. The owner Tony contacted us by text the day before our arrival to check which ferry we were on and then was waiting for us at the gate to take us up to our pitch. The Golden Road which you need to take from Leverburgh to get to the site was an interesting experience with a caravan. Very narrow single track road with small passing places but do-able with care. You definitely need a 4x4 to tow a caravan up to the pitches but the pitches when you get there are lovely with fabulous views out over the Minch to Skye. Water and EHU nearby

We had a dog with us and he was able to run free in the 50 acre fenced in area.

The seafood platter (£50) was good value and delicious and lasted us 2 nights.

It is quite a remote site with plenty of room between the pitches so no problems with noise from others residents. The landscape is interesting and we felt almost as if we were in a lunar landscape (lots of granite rock and peat and heather) but attractive in its own right. When we left Tony was waiting at the bottom gate to see us out and to check that all had been well. He is a very friendly chap and the family are obviously trying to create something for a niche market which is working well.

Reviewer: Silverfox1584 4 reviews from this member

 With the hardstandings limited to a max of 4 well spaced out pitches, peace and quiet is in abundance. You must have your own facilities on board your caravan or motorhome but water and hookup all there, including wdp. Sea and landscapes are superb. 2 lochs for flyfishing and otters swimming makes this site quite unique. Very dog friendly away from the road with possibly in excess of 50 acres to walk. Hospitality and info from Tony makes your stay easy and his seafood platter (ordered in advance) so very tasty and healthy. We will return maybe later this year or early next. We would highly recommend this location.

Reviewer: J Mann 2 reviews from this member

 We spent a wonderful week at this amazing site. The complete opposite of other more crowded, busy, and, often ugly, camp sites. We enjoyed stunning views over the Bonnie Bay and easy access to the beautiful wildness of Harris, on our doorstep. Our hosts were extremely friendly and helpful and are working hard to create something that is the antidote to those regimented campsites. We took advantage of the fish platter on our third night and rated it 10 out of 10. What a treat after a blustery, cold, wet day to have a first class meal served by our host. Best sea food I have tasted. Don't miss this chance to spoil yourselves. We also bought Flodabay eggs, which was another bonus.

The area is a geologist's paradise, and obviously a great draw for nature lovers. There are limited facilities but this was not a problem for us. The environment more than made up for any shortfall.

This is a site for people who want to enjoy peace and quiet and privacy. We were in a motor home and hired a car to explore some of the more inaccessible parts of Harris. Much easier. Tarbert and Leverburgh are within easy access for basic supplies but there are less shops on Harris than on Uist and Lewis, so do stock up.
