Frequently Asked Questions

Arran Lodge is our premier designated dog-friendly lodge, meticulously curated to welcome both you and your dogs (pets are allowed on request, and charges may apply). Please note that Coll Lodge and Inver Lodge do not permit pets.

Each of our three timber lodges comfortably sleeps up to 6 people.

As shown on the calendar. We have a 3-night minimum off-peak and 4-night minimum peak time.

The wild waters hold sea trout and brown trout, with occasional salmon. Please note that salmon and sea trout fishing is strictly catch-and-release, and fishing for salmon and sea trout is completely prohibited on Sundays by Scottish law.

No. Fishing permits are not included in your stay and must be booked separately and directly via either our online booking links or with our ghillie or office.

Our lodges sit at the heart of three amalgamated fishing beats – Finsbay, Flodabay, and Stockinish; spanning roughly 100 lochs and three distinct river systems across South Harris.

In Scotland, we drive on the left. Harris features single-track roads with designated passing places. If a vehicle approaches from the front or wishes to overtake from behind, pull into the passing place on your left, or wait opposite the passing place on your right. Always give way to traffic moving uphill and reverse safely into a passing place if required to let vehicles pass.

Yes. It is a crucial travel tip to book your vehicle ferry spot well in advance of your trip, as summer spaces are highly sought after.

You can travel by air or by sea: By Plane: Flights operate from Glasgow, Edinburgh, Barra, Benbecula, or Inverness to Stornoway Airport on the Isle of Lewis. The lodges are approximately a 1-hour and 30-minute drive from the airport, where car hire is available. By Ferry: Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac) operates car and pedestrian ferries 7 days a week. Routes include Uig (Skye) to Tarbert (~1.5 hours), Ullapool to Stornoway (~2.5 hours), and North Uist to Leverburgh.

Sunday is a traditional day of rest on the island. Most local shops close, public buses do not operate, and fishing for salmon or sea trout is strictly prohibited by law across Scotland. However, the local airport and ferry terminals do remain open. We encourage guests to embrace the local culture and utilize Sundays to relax, spend time with family, or take a walk.

Tarbert: Our nearest town houses the ferry terminal, A D Monro butcher and grocer, Nook & Scranny Mini-market, and a 24 hr fuel station selling petrol and diesel at Ardhasaig. Leverburgh: Located 6 miles away, Leverburgh offers a 24hr petrol station and the Harris community co-op store (The Clachan). Stornoway: For larger supermarkets (Tesco and Co-op), Stornoway is roughly a 1.5-hour drive away. We highly recommend filling up your vehicle’s fuel tank before arriving at Finsbay.
