Summary: Excellent property with lovely views out to sea. Well equipped and spacious. Only disappointment was comfort of beds and pillows.
Edwin W. May 12, 2025 04:45:05 AM
Summary: The home is beautifully presented and has absolutely everything you could possibly need while on holiday in the Western Highlands, With plenty of information on what you can see and where to go to fully appreciate all the beauty of the landscape and the amazing wild life. This was a trip down memory lane for myself and my husband as we have visited this area many times in the past.Thank you , and a big thank you to Maria for her warm welcome.

Summary: A well positioned house 8 miles from the lovely village of Gairloch. Stunning views across the Minch to the Outer Hebrides and Skye. We had the most amazing sunsets. The house was well proportioned with a very well equipped kitchen. If you’re looking for a peaceful property with a beautiful enclosed garden for kids and/or dogs then consider this property.

Summary: Loved the cottage and the area, sadly weather was not kind to us. Will be back as we did not manage to do everything we wanted to
Margaret G. Jun 26, 2024 02:09:28 AM
Summary: This house is very remote which was what we were looking for and it didn’t disappoint. With huge garden ideal if you have a dog. Everything you will need for your stay is provided. Only one thing that could be improved on is a larger tv but wasn’t a major issue. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it.

Summary: Very peaceful location with stunning sea views. Comfortable, clean, well equipped. Fran, our host, was really nice and helpful. Our 2 little Yorkies enjoyed the secure garden. We enjoyed good weather and would recommend The Black Pearl, Gairloch, for tasty food - the ribs were beautiful as was the rum punch. Great butchers in Gairloch that sells fruit and veg too and the small Morrisons shop was well stocked. Gairloch beach is lovely and good walks at Flowerdale Glen. We also really liked The Badracho Inn, great fish and chips and lovely beer garden overlooking the bay. We will definitely be returning.

Summary: Excellent stay. Although not much was open in November. But, the beaches were still stunning. Tarhuna, had all we needed and more
Wendy M. Aug 29, 2023 01:42:56 AM
Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
Martin K. Nov 12, 2022 08:00:03 AM
Summary: 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.
