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.

The village is lovely and all of the locals are very friendly, speaking to you as you walk along or giving you a wave if they drive past. The location is ideal - surrounded by beautiful countryside but only a short drive to Stornaway. We arrived at the cottage and opened the door and WOW we just loved it. Kim and Steve have thought of everything - the cottage is very well equipped and furnished, the quality of the fittings is high end. Central heating is supplemented by a wood fired burner which was very welcome. Kim had left a welcome gift of prosecco and home made fruit cake which was delicious. We didn’t want to leave. We are now planning a return trip later this year - can’t wait. read less
