It has everything to offer the holidaymaker, stunning beaches, watersports, hillwalking, good food, spectacular scenery, wildlife, wild flowers and is steeped in history. It is a paradise for photographers, walkers, runners and cyclists and the friendliness of the welcome is second to none. Taigh Ciorstaidh is a lovely, renovated croft house situated on the East side of Barra with stunning views across Loch Na Obe to the Sound of Barra and Eriskay. It is located approximately 4 miles from Castlebay and 3 miles from the cockle strand of the airport. The accommodation consists of 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and shower room. The upper floor has been completely renovated and consists of one twin and one single bedroom. On the ground floor there is a large family room with a double and single bed. The living room contains two leather settees. It has a television and DVD player. There is a pine fitted kitchen with microwave and washing machine. It is a sunny, cosy cottage, with night storage heating throughout and an electric fire in the living room. It is a no-smoking home, where pets are welcome. The cottage is accessed via stone steps which are on a slope and so it may not be suitable for those with mobility issues.

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip G. Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house was comfortable and warm, with lovely views and perfectly good facilities (4g signal is good so didn't miss wifi). It was nice to come back to during those days when the weather was wild. Everything I needed in a place to stay. Not too far from Castlebay so easy to get food and fuel. Will definitely stay there again if available next time I am on Barra. Barra itself was fantastic and a very friendly place, with some stunning coastline to explore from the sea when the weather allowed! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/71915ada-3a02-447d-8e8d-8c18fe4c9b15-1749980471273.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d8e5809c-235c-432a-b6f5-e0220c71a79f-1749980461767.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Philip G.

Apr 7, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Vacation Excellent cottage -only required to deal with woodworm in double bedroom - did not want to take them home - would recommend the cottage once woodworm removed ##### Rosemary M. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### David Oct 22, 2025 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful location. Polished wood staircase dangerous and does not meet HSE. Terrible Mould in bathroom - does not meet HSE. Cobwebs in upper bedroom with skirting boards not cleaned. Kitchen surfaces only cleaned where 'bare'- underneath appliances, filthy. Bedding underproduction filthy and stained. Bedding sheets old and threadbare with bobbling. Electrical connection appear not to have been PAT Tested - multiple appliances plugged to extension leads. Outside area steps very dangerous - do not meet HSE at all. Parking for larger 4WD vehicle meaning car door restricted opening onto grass bank. Serious attention needed to meet Safety Standards. As the friend of David, I had a serious fall from the staircase which resulted in being airlifted to Stornoway Hospital and immediate Surgery. Were it not for the excellent service of the Barra Ambulance service I could have easily bled to death.
