Stornoway 20.3 miles.
Tucked away amongst the breath-taking scenery of Tolstachaolais on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, this delightful single-storey cottage, Tigh Bhisa Blackhouse.
A perfect romantic getaway for those with a taste for history and wildlife, there’s no better base for a Scottish adventure than Tigh Bhisa Blackhouse.
Finding your way through countryside and seaside views, you can park off road and unpack your bags with ease.
Upon entering the traditional stone cottage, you will be met with an interior both welcoming and teeming with heritage, with historic six-foot thick stone walls, a wooden roof with contemporary skylights and more traditional woodburning stove to give you a flavour of a characterful property that has been owned by the same family for over 250 years.
An open-plan living space boasts all the necessities needed for relaxation, from a sumptuous seating area with a wood burning stove and underfloor heating to warm you up after a long day of adventures; a selection of books, a TV and a speaker are provided to help you unwind.
A beautiful hand-crafted wooden table and chairs teams with local produce you have rustled up into a splendid meal in the spacious and convenient kitchen area, equipped with an oven, hob, microwave and more.
Walking on from the kitchen, you will find a super-king-size bedroom, thoughtfully laid-out with rustic furnishings, framing a remarkable view to the unspoilt landscape outside.
A shower room offering contemporary furnishings will help you refresh for a day of excitement.
Outside, you will find beach views from the delightful seating area, lovingly enveloped by a traditional drystone wall and boasting a barbecue perfect for warm evenings dining alfresco.
With long stretches of unspoilt countryside, there are many places to visit in Tolstachaolais, including glorious sandy beaches, vibrant meadows, open moorlands, and rugged cliffs, all perfect for an afternoon spent walking and each teeming with wildlife.
For a taste of local history, visit the quirky Callanish standing stones, the site of megalithic ruins erected over 5000 years ago. The nearby town of Stornoway is brimming with a wealth of local amenities to assist with your self-catering needs, including traditional country pubs, restaurants serving foreign cuisines and well-stocked convenience stores for picking up essentials.
Whilst you’re here, spend a peaceful afternoon testing your swing at the Raon Goilf Golf Course, or touring the Museum nan Eilean.
Fly from Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Inverness and Glasgow or travel by ferry from Sky to Tarbert or Ullapool to Stornoway to reach this property. Indulge in a romantic getaway in the dramatic landscape of the Outer Hebrides with Tigh Bhisa Blackhouse.

This is a wonderfully restored blackhouse that was renovated with an addition that houses the kitchen, bath and entry hall. The great room and bedroom are very spacious as they take up the blackhouse space. The skylights add plenty of light and wood stove makes it a cozy environment.
