About the area

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.

Tarbert 4.7 miles. A superbly appointed single-storey holiday cottage, Braemore Cottage enjoys a wonderful setting close to Tarbert on the Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides. Perfect for families or couples holidaying together, the cottage has been carefully designed to maximise the panoramic views and is sure to make holiday memories that will last forever. The cottage offers a warm and inviting space with guests stepping into a spacious open-plan living area which has plenty of snug seating with a woodburning stove forming the centrepoint of the zone, the ideal spot for sitting back and relaxing while enjoying quality time with family and friends. It is not far to step into the well-equipped kitchen which has all the mod cons any discerning traveller would expect and is perfect for preparing a menu of tasty food for your guests. Why not make the most of the wonderful local produce available right on the doorstep and rustle up some fabulous dishes for the whole family to enjoy? Gather around the elegant dining table, pour a glass of wine and settle down for an enjoyable and sociable meal while catching up with news of holiday adventures. When sleep calls, make your way to one of the cottage’s two bedrooms either the welcoming double bedroom or the agreeable twin bedroom, both with Smart TVs and wonderful picture windows offering mesmerising views. Opening out from the living space are stylish patio doors which help to bring the beautiful Hebridean landscape even closer. Lounge on the decking awhile taking in those gorgeous views or plunge into the luxuriant hot tub, undoubtedly the perfect way to soak up the stunning seascape. Tempting as it may be to spend your holiday chilling out at the cottage, there is a whole world of delights on the doorstep so let’s get exploring. Cross the bridge onto the Isle of Scalpay and breathe in the refreshing Hebridean air with an invigorating walk around the island taking in the famous Eilan Glas lighthouse on the way. Tarbert is just a short drive away and here you can taste the delights of the Harris Gin Distillery and visit the Harris Tweed Centre to really immerse yourself in the local culture. A little further afield is Stornoway which is well worth a visit and is the gateway to exploring other neighbouring islands such as St Kilda and the Shiant Isles. For the family holiday of a lifetime, a trip to Braemore Cottage has to be on your bucket list. The islands can be reached by flights from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness; or by ferry from Uig on Skye to Tarbert, or Ullapool to Stornoway. EPC Rating: Band B
