Kim and Steve are great and the house has exceptional standard. High quality equipment, and everything you need. Gorgeous craft and decoration which has been produced on the Hebrides. No expenses have been spared.
Absolut spotlessly clean and a fabulous home made fruitcake in the kitchen on arrival, never had a better one in my life! Very comfortable sofa and bed, also high standard.
The surrounding is quite and the neighbors very kind. The whole village is fantastic, just nature and friendly people.
Steve and Kim were perfect hosts! Very quick in communication, helpful recommendations and very kind. We would love to come back! read less

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

Besides the high quality decor, furniture and fittings, it really does feel like home, due to all the little extras. Delicious home made fruit cake and fizz were most welcome after arriving at the start of Storm Ali !
The village of Tolsta Chaolais is well situated to explore both Lewis and Harris, with wonderful walking , amazing scenery and unspoilt beaches on the doorstep.
After a day out walking and exploring the island, it was bliss to return to this excellent holiday cottage with its cosy wood burner and gorgeous free standing bath . Thank you Kim and Steve, we will be back ! read less

The house was warm and cosy, very clean and had everything you needed- we were house bound for a day due to a bad storm but we still had a lovely time with our feet up in front of the fire watching a great collection of Kims & Steve's DVD's! We woke up to Highland Calves in the next field, local sheep dogs running around and beautiful scenery on your door stop! Tolsta is a very lovely village, off the main road and definitely had its own charm- we enjoyed returning every evening. We did not hire a car for our 4 day trip, however there are lots of great local walks (does require a bit of walking on the road) but we got to Dalbeg and Dailmor beach which were both beautiful- spotted a Golden Eagle and stumbled across a local man weaving Harris Tweed. The bus service was very reliable and all very friendly- however we would recommend hiring a car if you want to venture further afield to Harris. The island is very remote, no local shops, or pubs so if you want peace and quiet away from everything this is where you want to be! We will be returning :). Thank you Kim and Steve for your hospitality. read less
