Our Cottage

Beautifully decorated, our traditional Hebridean cottage is both warm and welcoming. After a day spent exploring the island, settle down in front of the wood burning stove with a book, watch films, play Scrabble, do puzzles, or simply take it easy and relax.

For those of you that like to cook, there is a good range of cookbooks, pans, cookware and crockery that will allow you to make both simple or sumptuous meals.

There is a basic stock of everyday essentials such as cleaning products, herbs, spices, condiments etc. Tea towels and hand towels are supplied.

The bedroom has a comfortable kingsize bed and with a slightly quirky touch, there is a large freestanding bath in which you can luxuriously soak after your days activities. For those who prefer to shower, the separate shower room has old fashioned character with modern fittings with a large shower. Towels and bed linen are supplied. There is also a hair dryer in the bedroom.

As well as being a great place to relax, The Old Post Office is conveniently placed to access a variety of outdoor activities. There are walks around the village that allow you to gain fantastic views of the village and out to the Atlantic Ocean, plus others along the shore for the beachcomber in you. Golden Eagles, Sea Eagles and Buzzards are regularly seen, plus a variety of other migratory birds such as redwings and geese.

The cottage lies within close proximity of many archaeological, historical and cultural attractions and places of interest, such as The Calanais Stones, The Gearannan Blackhouses. and the Dùn Chàrlabhaigh Broch.

The cottage itself was stunning, cosy, clean and tidy and generally a lovely place to  relax after a day on the beach or exploring the island. We really couldn't recommend The Old Post Office highly enough! 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
