Isle of Harris-Award winning Tiny House-BeachView/Sea-View/ Harris beach locati
Puffin is a lovely uniquely designed Tiny-House for a couple. Puffin Tiny-house is just voted by the Guardian as 1 of British 10 best coastal new places!!!
It enjoys Stunning beach and Sea views and romantic sunsets over Scarista Beach. It it is peacefully situated off the main road A859, making it perfect stay for walkers, surfers, hikers and cyclists’, adventuring the Hebridean Way.
Northton, is one of the best coastal location, surrounded by many beaches South Harris has to offer. The South West coast of Harris, has incredible vista’s over turquoise seas, spectacular beaches and blue imposing mountains of the North-Harris hills.
From Puffin you can walk easily (5 min.) to Northton’s five silver shell-sand beaches & Scarista beach, or walk up Cheapabhal/Maodal hills, for breathtaking views.
If a trip to St. Kilda, or the Shiants, is on your bucket list, you might observe real Puffins. Abundant wildlife is at your doorstep, Harris is a birdwatcher’s paradise: eagles/gannets/fulmars/terns/oystercatchers/corncrakes and many more. Puffin house has a folder with lots of information on What to see and do. On arrival we will inform you all about walks, where to watch Seals and maybe spot Dolphins, Otters and Porpoises. Also where to eat out, how to get in contact with local fishermen to provide you with their catch of the day like fresh fish, Lobster, Scallops, Langoustines, Prawns, Crab etc. OS maps and informative books about Harris and Lewis are in the house.
The Tiny House includes: small kitchen with 4 gas-hob, combi microwave/oven, kettle, toaster, fridge, cutlery, crockery, pots, pans, hairdryer, cafetiere. It has a good quality bed 140x200cm, en-suite shower room with large shower, wash-basin/toilet.
We offer you laundry drying service £ 5 per load of washing and £ 5 per Drying load, or hang it outside to dry in sun and wind.
Enjoy lovely sunsets at the beach, or gaze from your panoramic window. The house is tastefully designed with artwork and driftwood found after winter storms on the beaches. Puffin Pod is warm, clean and comfortable with a touch of luxury, just a perfect base for a relaxing Hebridean stay!

About the host

Hello, I am Sytske.
I have watched the Tiny House programme a lot, and loved the concept. No clutter, just essentials and a cosy house. Affordable I hoped, years I have done waitressing and cleaned cottages to save up for buying building materials.
Last year my dad and I started to built my Puffin Tiny-House! Very exciting:)
We have laid the founds, well first put in sewerage, electricity and water and insulated the floor and built it up, segment by segment and layer by layer. I learned a lot of building skills using the electric saws, nail-guns, level and lots of other stuff. The house is well insulated.
In winter we found a lot of driftwood on the beach which we put in as beautiful features. Mum is an artist and painted puffins on the walls as these cute birds are my favourite. We have seen them a lot. I was so lucky to spend my childhood here at Harris, going to Leverhulme Primary School and Sir E.Scott Secondary school at Tarbert. I love to fish, was in the Army Cadets and did a lot of outdoors sports and learned to play the accordion. So here is my own tiny house and it became my Project to finance my long study at Aberdeen University. My house was built, with love and dreams, I love it and I hope you love it! Have a great time at Harris!! If you have any questions, please ask. Sytske
