This was our first stop on Harris, it was a very lovely start to our holiday. The owner was very helpful and showed us to our pitch, it was up a rather steep track but not a problem, there was electric hook up and water but no shower or toilet, but again, this was not a problem as we had our own and there was a facility for emptying toilets. The site has wonderful views and there are nice walks around the site.
The owner cooks a sea food buffet which can be ordered from him if you are staying for a couple of nights we can recommend eating the buffet it was delicious. If we visit Harris again we will definitely be heading there first.
We have just returned from touring the scottish isles for 4 weeks in our campervan. We rang Tony up on the off chance of staying at Flodabay. Luckily for us he had room, we stayed for 2 nights and Tony could not have been more helpful and friendly and made us very welcome. All though the weather could have been better it really is a wonderful place to stay. We had a pitch that overlooked the sea and small harbour and the view was spectacular. Tony has 2 lochs which you can fish on with rods supplied free of charge, as previous reviewers have mentioned you can order a fantastic sea food platter cooked and delivered to your door by Tony which includes homemade bread and oatcakes, a must when you stay here! All though there are no shower or toilet facilities this did not bother us as we were self suffient and Tony is trying to sort this out. All in all while we were away we stayed in many camps and Flodabay was one of the best if not the best we used. We hope to return to the magnificent isles again next year and will definitely return to Flodabay. If on Harris do not miss this site it is a gem ! and on leaving Tony gave us a jar of homemade marmalade with whiskey and homemade honey, delicious.
Another memorable stay at this wonderful small motor home and caravan site.
I would echo previous reviews (eg Bev and Nige) which describe the breathtaking views and peacefulness of this location. The food, hosts and surrounding area.
This is a venue not to be missed and is hard to beat. The scenery is stunning and the tranquillity all around something you will not forget.
The onwer is an amazing host, he could not be more welcoming, friendly and helpful. From the moment you arrive until he waves you on your way, you are made to feel like a family friend. Nothing is too much trouble and the home cooked and locally sourced food a wonderful addition to this fabulous 'find'.
His Seafood platter is a unique experience, everything locally sourced with a taste experience you will not forget. The home baking available and award winning Oatcakes are a must, and pack plenty Oatcakes to take home!
You will not find many places as special as this on your travels and I would rank this as the best, without doubt, on the Islands (I have visited on numerous occasions and stayed on many sites).
We visited Flodabay farm whilst on our honeymoon touring Scotland and the Hebs were on our route. Particularly we were thrilled to find Flodabay for a nights stay on Isle of Harris as the location was so peaceful and the most stunning views. After parking up we cycled around the surrounding road / coastline and watched seals playing in the bay which was a lovely experience and otters nest on the lochs of Flodabay. We were able to walk outer dog in peaceful surroundings and he absolutely loved exploring the area!
This motor home stay is very well maintained with hard standing making it suitable in all weathers, water is easily accessible as multiple points as is sewerage, dry waste collection and electric point. A well maintained and cared for location, the owner we met was a delightful chap, who was so kind to us we were only sad to have missed his fresh seafood evening picnic if only we didn't have a ferry to catch back to the mainland we would have stayed longer.
Thank you so much for our most memorable stops on our honeymoon - Flodabay farm (fresh produce available, the eggs, bread, honey and marmalade were delicious).
We will be sure to recommend to any friends or family that visit IOH that they stay with you.
All the best for your future plans with the farm, although it's currently great in the most idyllic location.
We have just returned from 2 weeks travelling around the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and had the most magnificent holiday.
We decided to give Flodabay Farm site a try when it was recommended to us by others who had stayed there the week before we were visiting Harris.
What a find! This place is magnificent. We ended up staying for 2 nights, although we wished we could have stayed longer!
It has the most impressive 360 degree scenery of sea, hills and moorland and is so tranquil and relaxing. Who needs the Greek Isles when you have this in Britain!
The owner is the perfect host. Nothing is too much trouble for him and he has spent a lot of time and effort (and money) developing a site that has the 'Wow' factor and is a real talking point, especially with its own driving range!
There are 2 lochs to fish or swim in or even go in the Kayak that is there for you if you want.
Binoculars are a must as there are lots of birds including Golden Eagles and Sea Eagles in the area and there's also an Otter Run further up from the site.
If you go then you really must try one of the owner's freshly cooked fish buffets. He cooks what he catches and brings it to your unit. We had a delicious meal that we will never forget!
We had; Dressed Crab, Hot Smoked Salmon on a bed of Rocket and Scallops and Prawns in a 'Special Sauce' served with Homemade Olive Bread and Oakcakes to follow - all delicious!
We have not stopped talking about this place since we left and can not wait to go back.
Only visit with a Caravan though if you have a 4x4 vehicle as it is quite a steep, gravel slope to get up to the site. The site has no toilets or shower block, hence I've only given 8/10 but does have electric hook up and water point and has a toilet disposal point.
Its well worth a visit, especially if you want to get away from it all!
What a wonderful peaceful location. Don't miss this site, it's in a perfect, tranquil spot, with beautiful views in all directions. As has already been said, there are a couple of things to note (1) no toilet/shower block so you need to be self sufficient and (2) there is quite a steep slope up to your pitch, but it's perfectly do-able in a motorhome in first gear! The owner is a lovely friendly host, lent us fishing rods and kayaks for the beautiful lochs, we played golf on the driving range, saw eagles, took wonderful walks. We stayed for 3 nights and did not want to leave, we would definitely return and stay for longer, the Isle of Harris is stunning and ideal for 'getting away from it all'.
We stayed at floda bay for 8 nights and wished we'd booked for longer, the road from Tarbert is narrow and winding but with plenty of passing places we had no problem with our large caravan, on arrival we were met with a friendly wave and were greeted by the owner who escorted us up to our pitch. The site road is short and steep and a 4×4 is recommended, once at the top the views are magnificent, like sitting on top of the world. The site is basic, no toilets or showers which again was no problem, water and electric is at hand and each pitch has its own picnic table. After we had set up the owner arrived with fresh strawberries and homemade oatcakes, delicious, his hospitality added to the enjoyment of our stay. Shops are not in abundance but the owner's takeaways are excellent, among other things we had his seafood buffet this was out of this world and is highly recommended. The weather was kind to us and we found plenty to do, walking round the croft admiring the scenery, watching for wildlife and fishing were high on our list. A big thankyou to the owner &Co for making our stay tremendous, we will definitely return, hopefully next year. Mary &Bob xx
Just stayed for 3 nights, after a very warm welcome from the owner he directed us to the pitch up the steep track, our van is 7. 5 metres long and is quite wide but we had no problems. The owner came back with some freshly picked strawberries which were succulent and sweet and best we've ever had. He also brought us some freshly caught Mackerel.
The wildlife is amazing, we saw the 2 Sea Eagles fly past our window and the Golden Eagle was a regular visitor. Unfortunately did not see the Otters.
This site is in the back of beyond, but if you want peace and quiet this is the place to be, we will return.
My wife and I stayed at Flodabay for 2 nights. We were a bit hesitant about it as there is no toilet block or showers, which we have never done before. We were met at the gate by the owner and we agreed that it would not be possible for my car to tow the caravan up the slope. However one of the other residents volunteered to tow the caravan up. The change over was a complete disaster, which if you were to ask the owner, I'm sure he would relate the story to you. However we were rescued by the guy who was going to tow the van, the owner, his sons and a passer by. My eternal thanks go to all involved. Once on site we realised that all the effort to get there was well worth it. The views are absolutely stunning, the site we had was pretty private. The owner could not have been more helpful and our only sorrow was that we could not stay longer. However I would reiterate what is on the site's website, that a 4x4 is very much needed to get to the site. I certainly would return.
From the owner's warm welcome to his farewell we had an excellent stay at Flodabay. The view from the site is one of the best we have ever had out of our caravan window. The pitches are level and have their own picnic tables. Yes, the track up from the gate is a climb as others have said but please do not let this put anyone off. The owner lent my husband a fishing rod to use on his lochs and the work that has been done in creating walks was much appreciated. Being adults only added to the experience. Harris is a very different place with it's wonderful beaches and stark contrast of hills and we loved it. If you get a chance walk the old coffin route from the East to the West to appreciate the differences and on your return there's a welcome cup of tea and cake in the Bays Community Centre.
Great location and really friendly welcome. The facilities are basic water, hook up and dump point so you need to be self sufficient. The views are amazing especially if you get clear blue skies and sunshine. Great walks along the coast. Marked pathways around site with picnic areas. Saw lots of wildlife including seals and a hen harrier did not manage to see the otter even though other people did whilst we were on the site. Tried fly fishing on the 2 lochs but to windy for fish but great for no midgies. We had the sea food platter delivered to our van one night which was delicious. A unique location.
It's mostly been all been said by other reviewer's! This place is a must visit if you are looking for a relaxing few days.
The drive to the site from Tarbert is through a desolate grey moonscape, but don't let this put you off. Once you have negotiated the rather daunting single track road to the site you will understand why this place is so special. We were greeted by the extremely helpful and cheerful host, who directed us to our pitch at the very top of the site where we had outstanding 360 degree views of sea and mountains. There is as yet no amenity block, but the owner's plans for this are impressive, we had electric hook up and water nearby and as our van is fairly self sufficient the lack of a shower block was not a problem to us.
My husband took advantage of the fishing on the two nearby lochs, stocked with brown trout, but the highlight of his holiday was watching the resident dog otter saunter past him as he prepared to play a few holes on the owner's practice golf course, it was one of those breathtaking wow moments that left him regretting he was wielding a golf club and not his camera.
The site is dog friendly and is more suited to adults rather than families with young children. A tranquil, peaceful place that allows you to relax and do as little or as much as you want.
I would definitely recommend a visit and would be happy to return.
We booked the site by e-mail prior to visit and received very good communication back. We stayed for seven nights and immediately was made welcome by Tony, the owner. He guided our outfit (4X4 and long caravan) up a very steep gravel drive, which was no problem to our outfit and placed us on a pitch which was ideal for van and awning. Ideally located for visiting South Harris and found plenty of places to visit over the week. Good walks from the site with exceptional views in all directions. Very good site for watching wildlife, with regular views of Golden Eagle and seals but sadly did not spot otters in the Lakes - probably because of 2 springer spaniels! No problem is too big for the owner, he will do a service wash, provide evening sea food platter, gives informed advice on the area and will loan fishing equipment. We will be more than happy to return to this site in the future.
A fantastic site, great hosts. Each of the 5 pitches had 10 amp elect and water supplies, a picnic table and Tony the host had planted herbs at the side of each pitch. Beautiful views from all pitches across the bay towards the isle of Skye and the mountains surrounding you. Chances to see seals, otters and eagles. Use of fishing in two private lochs for brown trout and practice pitch and golf facilities available on site. Picnic tables provided near lochs to enable greater enjoyment of the scenery. Tony will cook and provide delivered to your pitch a gorgeous sumptuous sea food platter at a very reasonable price. He can also supply eggs and farm produce. CWD placed centrally between the 5 secluded sites. We stayed 5 nights and travelled around the islands (Harris & Lewis) and needed all this time to visit all areas of the islands to enjoy the varied scenery.
