Such a remote, cozy cottage in an ideal location to explore nearby beaches and lochans as well as further afield! It was exactly what we were looking for. The cottage was clean and well appointed, and Tracy and Steve were most helpful, and right down the lane. If you’re wanting an extended stay, it’s just right. Make sure you stock on provisions at Tesco beforehand, there are shops between Stornoway and Calbost, but nothing within a 20 minute drive. It’s well worth it though—the history of the cottage is well documented, and the area itself is like a microcosm of the Island. Simply sublime.

8B Calbost is a small 3 star cottage situated on a village hill facing South on a natural bay with magnificent views from both bedrooms of hills, loch and sea where you can enjoy a brisk walk through the croft and down to the Calbost shore. This 2 bedroom cottage can accommodate up to 4 guests and comprises of a living/dining room, Kitchenette, shower room, double bedroom and a smaller bedroom with bunk beds. The cottage is fresh and clean with full central heating throughout making it warm, cosy and an ideal retreat. The cottage is surrounded by many brown trout lochs in the area and superb sea fishing from the rocks. It is a walkers paradise and there is animal life around every corner from the sheep next door to the basking sharks out at sea and the family of otters if you are lucky enough to spot them. Check out our website :- hebrideanholidayhomes We have just upgraded to Starlink wifi with a very fast speed, however due to the geography, there is little mobile signal except for BT/EE (watts app etc voice calls possible through the wifi ), so if you really need high comms and are not on BT/EE, this may not be the place for you. If however you require nature, peace, windy roads, friendly villagers, this is the place for you. We get fantastic reviews from those that love the scenery, nature and location. Our poorest reviews generally come for remoteness and lack of shops, so if that is what you want do not come to Calbost. Our Island is a paradise for those that love this type of holiday.
