the old post office…

Welcome

Situated in the crofting township of Tolsta Chaolais on the Isle of Lewis, our cosy self catering holiday cottage provides a warm welcome no matter what the time of year.

Originally serving as the village Post Office, this traditional Hebridean cottage has been beautifully modernised. It now awaits both singles and couples who wish to get away from it all and discover the rugged beauty of the Outer Hebrides.

The Outer Hebrides stretch for 130 miles and look west to the Atlantic Ocean. A striking mix of landscapes, from windswept golden sands to harsh mountains and peat bogs exist in harmony. Here, at Europe’s edge, an elemental beauty pervades…

We are sure The Old Post Office will both charm and delight you.

Everything was great from the welcome gifts to the personal visit to make sure we were getting settled in ok. The location was great for exploring Lewis, with Tarbert in Harris also only an hour away. We would definitely recommend the old post office and hope to be back again in the near future read less
