Perfect location and accommodation.
Having read other reviews of Tarhuna we booked and were not disappointed. It was perfect for us and the dogs, the sunsets from the sitting room were beyond beautiful. Nearby beaches of Big Sand, Gairloch and the gem that is Firemore beach were glorious. We even went in the sea-in wetsuits! The Black Pearl Caribbean Kitchen in Gairloch was superb. Everyone was friendly. We simply had a wonderful, relaxing two weeks in a beautiful house in a beautiful part of the world. We will return. Thank you.

Melvaig cottage
Very well equipped and comfortable accommodation with great views across to Skye on a clear day. Very peaceful location with sheep surrounding the cottage and a cuckoo in the distance. Highly recommend if you want a relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of life.

Lovely quiet property
Well presented with fantastic views. The property was very clean throughout and well equipped. Lots of parking and great views. The village itself is stunning, quietly tucked away about 10mins on the other side of Gairloch and great walks nearby. I’d suggest getting a food shop on route as the only local shop is a convenience store in nearby Gairloch but this was the appeal to us, quiet with some great walks and views, I’d happily stay here again. Highly recommend.
