Excellent property with lovely views out to sea. Well equipped and spacious. Only disappointment was comfort of beds and pillows.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

Excellent stay. Although not much was open in November. But, the beaches were still stunning. Tarhuna, had all we needed and more

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

Wonderful spacious property, which is clean and well equipped. The views are stunning.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

We loved our time in Gairloch. The cottage is in a beautiful location and very easy to spend time in. We would definitely go again.

We had one week in this wonderful house and enjoyed every minute. The area is stunning with a lot of beaches and walks to explore. We would love to come back!

10.0 / 10.0

Such a lovely house to stay at, if you like wildlife this area is fantastic, we've seen a heard of Red Deer only meters from the house and also seen Golden and White Tailed Sea Eagles on the road back to Gairloch. House is very well equipped with everything you could ever need, the addition of the log burner was a very welcome sight. I highly recommend this comfy, clean and well maintained property and will definitely return in the future.

10.0 / 10.0

Absolutely loved our holiday at Tarhuna The house is spacious and well equipped, The kitchen has everything you have at home, we even baked scones and bread while there. Comfy beds too, had the best nights sleep ever. The views are breathtaking, the garden is well secured with high fences all round, so no chance of our dog escaping. I really can’t recommend this property enough !! We have been to a lot of holiday rentals over the years and this one is up there at the top of the list.

10.0 / 10.0

Could not want for a better property, clean and warm the area is beautiful in a wild way. Fish and chips at the beachcombers are fantastic.

10.0 / 10.0

We loved the location of this property, very peaceful and quiet, initially worried about the 8 mile run along single lane with passing spaces - infact so worried we got over it in about 12 hours 🤣🤣. Would love to be able to just pick this property up and move it to our next holiday destination wherever that is going to be as it had EVERYTHING we could need. Over recent years I have learnt to take some personal items with us eg. Chef and veg knife - no need here as they were great ….. don’t know the brand of mattress in this property but we need to find out it was so comfortable (I did take my own pillow but that is my neck injury issues and I would do the same to any property). Our dog loved the secure garden and Gairloch beach nearby almost as much as we did. The weather could have been kinder but hardly our hosts fault after all and actually it could have been a lot worse. For anyone coming here to see the BEAUTIFUL HIGHLANDS just be aware it takes some time to travel a. Because you keep stopping to admire the scenery and b. Speed is not an option on these roads - but then you are on holiday and who wants to hurry through life. We recommend Tarhuna and will love coming back in the future for our next adventure. P.S. just to top off our week one of the ewes in the field just beyond the lounge window that looks our to sea thought we might like to watch her give birth to her lamb. We’ve seen them after they’re born and on TV but standing right nearby watching is whole different experience.💖 thank you

Loved staying at Tarhuna. So peaceful. Not overlooked by any other houses. Such calm privacy for a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of the world but with really good local services in Gairloch.

The views across the sea to the hebrides are excellent. The bungalow is well set out with all mod cons. The garden is completely enclosed within a tall fence so safe for children and dogs. Fantastic stay.

5.0 / 10.0

Tarhuna is a wonderful house in a stunning location. It had everything we needed for our stay and the owners were very helpful and responded quickly to queries. It really is in the middle of nowhere so if you are looking for peace and quiet with amazing views then this is perfect. Gairloch is a short drive away and has some lovely places to eat and things to do. The museum is well worth a visit and a walk to the beach and the waterfall are highly recommended. There are numerous other secluded beaches in the area - we loved Opinan in particular. Also highly recommend the Inverewe Gardens and taking the boat trip out onto Loch Ewe. Thanks to Fran and Forbes for a fantastic holiday!

5.0 / 10.0

The position of the property is near perfect. Neighbours are virtually none existent and the village us approximately 10 miles away. There are beautiful views of Isle of Skye and Harris, sheep wandering free, deer, eagles and utter silence. The property is very spacious, clean and comfortable. Everything you could possibly need is catered for. We felt very safe and relaxed throughout our stay.

5.0 / 10.0

This property is clean, tidy, well-maintained and well stocked with everything you'd need to have an amazing stay.Set in it's own large garden there was plenty of space for the kids to run around in safely, and with the gate closed the dog could join in too.The views are S-P-E-C-T-A-C-U-L-A-R, the sunsets A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, and the location is secluded, out of the way and private.I could not recommend the property or the hosts highly enough.Wester Ross itself is something else... Lord of the Rings landscapes filled (sparsely enough ) with people cycling, kayaking and motor homing along this section of the "500".The road to the property is a single track highland road and it is some distance to the nearest shops - so stock up! (My tip is to call into the shop at The Sands as it's nearer and fairly priced - they also have a great restaurant). Once you have got the hang of the roads you are free to explore the amazing beaches all within 50 minutes drive; we loved: Mellon Udrigle, Redpoint, Gairloch and Big Sand (accessible through The Sands for a £2 fee to park your car).We also took in a Woodland trail or two at Bein Eighe and Inverewe Gardens.All the activities we did were free and suitable for our party which included Mum, Dad, Girl 8, Boys 2 & 3 and dog.Wester Ross Highly Recommended.Tarhuma Highly Recommended.
