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.

Even when the Scottish weather is doing what it does best, the house is warm and inviting with plenty of books/games/DVDs to keep all ages and tastes entertained. The kitchen is very well equipped and a pleasure to cook in. Our hosts had left the house beautifully clean and they were very quick to respond to our texts. The stack of maps and guidebooks was very helpful as although the house has Wi-fi, when out on the road we found that mobile coverage is (unsurprisingly) a little variable and so the old technology was a great help! All in all, this is a really super place for a holiday. read less

 Everything is perfect, very clean and fully equipped. The location is very nice in the quiet village of Tolsta Chaolais. 
 Steve and Kim were paying close attention to our needs. 
 We highly recommend the Old Post Office for a quiet stay in Harris! read less
