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.

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.

The house was comfortable and warm, with lovely views and perfectly good facilities (4g signal is good so didn't miss wifi). It was nice to come back to during those days when the weather was wild. Everything I needed in a place to stay. Not too far from Castlebay so easy to get food and fuel. Will definitely stay there again if available next time I am on Barra. Barra itself was fantastic and a very friendly place, with some stunning coastline to explore from the sea when the weather allowed!

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.
