About this property
OLD POST OFFICE, family friendly, with open fire in Tarbert
Old Post Office by Tarbert, Isle of Harris sleeps five guests in three bedrooms.
Amenities: Electric heating with woodburning stove. Electric oven, electric hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, coffee machine. TV, WiFi. Fuel, power and starter pack for woodburning stove inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Highchair and travel cot available on request. Off-road parking for 1 car. Enclosed garden with patio, furniture, storage for bikes and kayaks. Sorry, no pets and no smoking. Shop 5 miles, pub 4.8 miles
Town: Built around an inlet on Loch Fyne, Tarbert has long been both a harbour and a key strategic point in the history of Scotland's rugged West Coast. Tarbert once required three castles to protect it, and the ruins of one of these can still be visited today. Built around the natural harbour, fishing and sailing continue to play an important part in the life of the village. There are many annual events to interest all tastes including the sailing regatta on Loch Fyne, seafood and music festivals. The 87 mile Kintyre Way stretches from Tarbert to the south of the Kintyre Peninsula, and offers walking for all levels and with ferry connections to Islay and Arran, there is simply no better location to relax and explore this rugged and picturesque part of Scotland.
