Taigh Ciorstaidh family & pet friendly self-catering Isle of Barra Scotland
The Isle of Barra is the jewel of the Hebrides. It has everything to offer the holidaymaker, stunning beaches, watersports, hillwalking, good food, spectacular scenery, wildlife, wild flowers and is steeped in history. It is a paradise for photographers, walkers, runners and cyclists and the friendliness of the welcome is second to none.
Taigh Ciorstaidh is a lovely, renovated croft house situated on the East side of Barra with stunning views across Loch Na Obe to the Sound of Barra and Eriskay. It is located approximately 4 miles from Castlebay and 3 miles from the cockle strand of the airport.
The accommodation consists of 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and shower room. The upper floor has been completely renovated and consists of one twin and one single bedroom. On the ground floor there is a large family room with a double and single bed. The living room contains two leather settees. It has a television and DVD player. There is a pine fitted kitchen with microwave and washing machine. It is a sunny, cosy cottage, with night storage heating throughout and an electric fire in the living room. It is a no-smoking home, where pets are welcome. The cottage is accessed via stone steps which are on a slope and so it may not be suitable for those with mobility issues.

Great getaway
Lovely, cosy home from home. House was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. Check in was simple and host was very helpful with the small issue of having no WiFi. Will definitely be back in the future.
