'Slios-na-Beinne' is a comfortably refurbished cottage adjoining owner's property in the village of North Tolsta approximately 11 miles north of Stornoway (a 20 minutes' drive). Its location makes it an ideal base for touring and exploring the islands of Lewis and Harris. North Tolsta is a typical crofting and fishing community where Gaelic is still the main language.
The post office/shop are within walking distance from the house and there are several travelling shops which come weekly. 'Slios-na-Beinne' (by the side of the hill) is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac in an elevated position facing Broadbay with beautiful panoramic views across the Minch from Cape Wrath to the mountains on the mainland. At night the flashes of the following lighthouses can be seen: Cape Wrath, Stoer Head, Rubha Reidh and Tiumpan Head across the bay in Lewis.
The house has a large walled garden to the front and rear with outdoor seating and children's play area. There are also ample private car parking facilities.
Close by (within 2 miles) are the secluded sandy beaches of Garry Beach, Traigh Mhor and Giordail Beach (where an episode of the BBC programme 'COAST' was filmed).
