Bayhead is in the Isle of Harris which is one of the islands that make up the Western Isles, off the northwest coast of Scotland.
View Map of location
House is situated at the end of the Lingerbay Township road which is off the C79 east coast road from Rodel to Tarbert about 3 miles from Rodel.
It is in a very peaceful setting beside the sea with only the sound of the gurgling river beside the house to disturb your peace.Look out for otters playing in the river or a golden eagle above your head.

The situation of Bayhead was just perfect and the accommodation eminently suitable for our party of 8. I have been holidaying each year in Harris for over 15 years so I know what I am talking about! BAYHEAD is by far the best accommodation that I have experienced as well as being terrific value for money; you need to put your rates up! Thanks a million from us all Neil Mackie
