This place exceeded our expectations and if we return to the Outer Hebrides there’ll be no other place to stay. The neighbourhood is in the perfect location to explore both Harris and Lewis. There are plenty of local walks and we would absolutely recommend Uig beach and the Blackhouses.
Don’t hesitate, book now.

From the moment we arrived we were greeted by puppies from next door (adorable) and it was just a WOW moment as we entered the property, realizing we had picked a property where the owners clearly wanted their guests to have a 5* stay. From the inside decor to the outside decking, to enjoy the views out the back of Tolsta, and the sheep enjoying themselves, the property is beautifully placed, planned and designed.

You can't leave a review on The Old Post Office without mentioning the bath in the bedroom, fantastic unusual feature. When I originally booked I thought it was put there because the property was too small to have a bathroom but how wrong could I have been. There was a adequately large bathroom with a good sized shower, much larger than average. We were thrilled with it.

Keith's favourite spot was the seat by the window, enjoying the evening sun with a book and a beer, or the decking in the morning sun ... no need to rush off to find somewhere to see, when it's really all here on your doorstep!

The extras that Kim left were so very thoughtful, and the 'naughty' nibbles that she baked were very much appreciated, and delicious!

A real treat was when Kim invited me over to feed/milk the lambs, a lovely experience I will always remember, and we will never forget Kim and Steve's hospitality in inviting us in for a cup of tea/drink with themselves ... lovely to hear local suggestions for the area etc and to meet them both properly 😀

What was also lovely is how quiet the area is and that you can walk around the roads enjoying the beauty and nature, with only the occasional car and friendly neighbour passing by 😀

We highly recommend this property, just make sure you spend every precious moment appreciating this beautiful tranquil part of this beautiful rugged fascinating little Island ... We loved it and would definitely return. read less

From the home made cake to the ready to burn wood fire, Steve and Kim have really special attentions for their guests. We stayed for six nights, but we wished that we could stay more and were sad to go ! It is the place to stay in Harris and Lewis : there’s a lot of hikes close to the cottage and you’ll wake up in the morning with the sound of the sheeps. A wonderful way to relax ! We will be back for sure ! Thank you again, Steve and Kim ! Merci pour tout et à la prochaine ! read less

Wonderfully rural, peaceful and and scenic without being too remote to visit all the sights. The cottage is just so cute and beautifully restored. It is really well equipped with modern and luxurious furnishings. Of particular note is the excellent walk in shower, big fluffy towels and free standing bath in the bedroom if you fancy a soak, as well as a large TV with sound bar. It is just perfect for two. The cottage also benefits from a garden with wooden seating overlooking a small loch.

Steve and Kim are great hosts and left us all sorts of welcome goodies,plus all the pantry and bathroom basics. There are also lots of maps, guide information, books, DVDs and games for you to enjoy.

The island of Harris & Lewis is quite unique. It might not be the warmest place in the country and it is very windy ( so make sure you bring ear muffs or a hat) but it is stunning and we are so glad we visited. We would not hesitate to return and would definitely stay at The Old Post Office again.

PS Check out The Verandah restaurant, which is only about a 15 min drive away. Excellent food and personal service. Run by a friendly husband and wife team and only has 20 covers so booking essential. read less
