Steve and Kim were very helpful and friendly hosts who have thought of just about everything you could possibly need. Excellent accommodation and facilities, a very comfortable and relaxing place to come home to at the end of the day. Loved the bath! read less

The cottage is very well equipped and has everything you could ever need. The fire really made it special for us! The weather outside was miserable but the open fire and coziness of the cottage was amazing! Ideal location for visiting most attractions on the island. There weren’t any downsides to our stay at the old post office, can’t wait to go back! read less

It was a really comfortable home from home with lots of nice touches. We were made to feel very welcome and it was a great base to explore Lewis and Harris from. The kitchen is really well equipped so perfect for self catering and the whole place was very clean. We’ll definitely be back next time we visit Lewis. read less

The Old Post Office is one of the best Airbnbs we have stayed in. The living room was really cosy with the log burner, comfy sofa and blankets, the kitchen was superbly equiped and the home made cake was much appreciated. The bed was really comfy and the bath in the bedroom was a great touch. We looked forward to getting back to the cottage at the end of each day and would definitely recommend it to anyone staying on the island! read less

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
