    Plenty of hot water for hill walkers returning home. Warm and cozy with great views and eagles. Spacious, comfortable rooms. This cottage is 11 miles up a windy, single track road. It was brilliantly located for the hills we wanted to do and...

Lovely, old family home. Well used and well loved over many generations, our 3 bedroom house can be found in Gobhaig just off the single track road toward beautiful Hushinish beach in The Western Isles. 'Taigh Tormod' stands on the hill, overlooking the small village of Gobhaig and has parking on site. All rooms are big, bright and airy and have recently been re-decorated. The house is self-catering and has kitchen facilities, cookware and tableware available. 15 miles from the ferry terminal in Tarbert, Isle of Harris. A small, friendly village welcomes those who seek peace and quiet, whatever the weather. The seashore a mere few minutes away on foot, glorious beaches only a few miles by car. Bus services are extremely limited and are subject to change, a car is most certainly needed as there are no local amenities within 15 miles. Hushinish Tarbert Isle of Harris distillery Luskentyre beach Harris Golf course St Clements church, Rodel Scalpay bridge and lighthouse North Harris Eagle observatory Bunavoneader whaling station The golden road Countless beaches, local artists, family run cafes, and that's only Harris...Lewis is only a drive away.
We are 3 siblings who were born and raised in Glasgow, whose hearts absolutely belong in Harris. Taigh Tormod, is named after out late grandfather. The village of Gobhaig is where we spent countless school holidays, a vast difference from our hometown of Glasgow. We still spend as much time here when we can, but never as often as we would like to. We made many memories here with family and friends, as did our parents, and we think it's time others had the opportunity to make memories of their own in our favourite place.
The village of Gobhaig is a small, family village. A scattering of houses situated in between Loch Gobhaig and the sea shore. Depending on the season, there may be sheep, cows and, on occasion deer around the village. There may also be working dogs, so, If you are a Dog owner, please keep your dog on a lead.
