About this property
Tarbert 9.4 miles. Enjoying a simply sublime location with breath-taking views towards Luskentyre Bay, is this immaculately presented holiday home, Taigh Rona. Ideal for large gatherings of friends and family, the property has been designed to maximise those all-important views with huge windows throughout the property letting light flood in. Visitors are greeted by a bright and airy entrance hall leading into a hugely impressive open-plan living space which has a truly magnificent sitting area with seating arranged around stunning floor-to-ceiling windows which bring the fantastic views right into the property. There is a fabulous double-height kitchen where keen chefs can whip up some delicious food for the holiday party using some of the wonderful local produce and once the meal has been prepared, guests can step into the elegant dining area and enjoy long, lingering meals together around a rustic dining table. There are attractive patio doors which you can throw open and step outside, if the weather allows giving guests the opportunity to spend time eating and drinking alfresco and really soaking up those captivating views. If you want to get away from it all then there is a snug with a TV where you can curl up and watch your favourite programme or take in those views from the elevated first-floor sitting area, a great place to gather together and catch up on news of your holiday adventures. When bedtime calls, make your way to any of the four gorgeously appointed bedrooms, two ground-floor king-sizes and two first-floor twins. All offer enchanting views over the beach and beyond and in the morning, there is nothing more inspiring than waking up to sights of the beach. Jump in the shower or have a relaxing soak in the bath and you’re good to go. Take a stroll along the beach at Luskentyre or jump in the car for some great days out to attractions such as An Talla Arts Centre and there are sailings to St Kilda from Leverburgh. Tarbert offers a small selection of shops including Harris Tweed and there are also a number of fabulous eateries located close by with towns such as Tarbert, Scarista and Leverburgh well worth a visit too. Taigh Rona is the ultimate family holiday destination. 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
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.

Even the dog trotted in as if she'd gone to heaven! It's a stunning location and the views are breathtaking. I can't fault anything. We had high expectations and it lived up to them!!! A lovely home to relax in with everything you could need and more!

The house is extremely comfortable and modern in a fabulous setting with wonderful views. We were fortunate to have excellent weather during our stay. A lovely and warm temperature inside the house with a super comfortable sitting room and TV room. Suggested improvement points: need larger bath towels please - towels provided were way too small. Given the price range for this property (£4,000 for the week we were there ) I think you should provide shower gel & washing up liquid ie basic essentials should be included at this price. These small touches actually make a big difference and they wonât really eat into your costs in a significant way. Overall we had a great time and would definitely go back. Thank you.
