A fantastic experience
We had the most wonderful stay in Sytske's Tiny House. Every detail of the house design has been carefully thought out, from the efficient use of space, down to the exquisite paintings of local wildlife and flowers that adorn the walls. Sytske provided a wealth of information on local hikes, beaches, and dining options, too.

Tiny house with huge appeal!
This tiny house is perfect in every way. We were welcomed warmly and Sytske took time to advise us on walks, sights and restaurants we might like to enjoy. Her guidance proved invaluable. The house itself is delightful and very comfortable. There are incredible paintings throughout (painted by Sykske's mother) and the way natural treasures from beach combing trips have been incorporated into the design of the house makes this a unique and beautiful place to stay. The kitchen is well equipped, the bed extremely comfortable and there is a super shower with plentiful hot water. We felt privileged to be able to stay in this very special place and are missing the amazing views which greeted us on waking each morning. I do hope we can stay again at this most beautiful property.

About the host

Host profile image
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
