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.

We had a fab stay at this property. Great location and ideal base to explore. We stayed with our 2 dogs and the garden was secure for them. The beds were super comfortable which was great as there is nothing worse than a bad nights sleep when you are on holiday! The sofas were comfortable too. We found phone signal very sketchy and were unable to access netflix or prime but too be honest we were not there to watch telly so not really an issue! Kitchen was well equipped but did find there was a lack of storage for our food items and would also have liked a splash back behind the cooker for ease of cleaning - just minor points. Our host was super accommodating when our ferry was delayed due to bad weather and told us we could stay on at the property if we needed to which did take a weight off! All in all a great stay at this property.

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.
