Rodel Hotel, Harris

The Rodel Hotel in Harris consists of several buildings from various dates, with the main part being the former MacLeod mansion. This tall, gabled structure has two storeys and an attic, and it may have been altered during renovations by MacLeod of Harris in the 1780s. Most of the buildings are harled and have slate roofs, with the windows primarily being sash style. There are also additions made of corrugated iron to the north.

The tall range features a two-bay gable facing Rodel Harbour, with asymmetrically placed openings on the west front wall. The elevation does not conform to conventional bay divisions and has an 8-pane glazing pattern, except for the wall-head attic dormers. The entrance is located in a two-storey, piend-roofed square projection, likely added around 1840, as indicated by the fenestration, which includes lying panes and timber-mullioned bipartite windows on the first floor. At the rear, there is a steel fire escape leading to a swept-roofed attic doorway that resembles a loft door found in industrial buildings. The structure features skews and ashlar end stacks.

A gabled low range runs parallel at the rear and is longer, potentially dating from the 1780s as well, possibly serving as a coach house or stables, or it may have originally had an industrial purpose. It has four end and ridge stacks. There is also an adjoining range at the south end forming an L-plan that faces the harbour, which is roofless as of 1994. Additionally, there is a mid-19th century wing with a piend roof linked at the northwest corner of the tall range. This wing has four bays, three of which have a central door, with a canted window on the left and a bipartite window on the right, along with outer stacks. There is a single-window linking bay on the right that appears to be an afterthought to the original design, although the roof slates appear uniform, suggesting it was built as part of the same project. Steps lead to the door, and the horizontal glazing pattern differs from that of the tall block.

To the north, there are gabled corrugated-iron ranges with original glazing. Another low harled 19th-century range is situated close to the north gable of the tall range. The property includes an extensive garden enclosure to the north with rubble walls, and the driveway and forecourt are quayed at the south end by the harbour, featuring rubble walls and gatepiers at the pier.
