Link to more photosSurrounded by 55 acres of unspoiled landscape, Ceol na Mara occupies a dramatic, secluded position close to the shoreline of Loch Kindebig, a sea inlet just south of Tarbert.  

Built in the early 20th century, this traditional Hebridean house has recently been completely renovated to provide an elegant guest house that is enhanced by the owner’s good taste in furnishing and decoration.

Each guest bedroom follows a different colour theme, with quality fabrics and fittings, all designed to help you enjoy this comfortable retreat.  The en-suite shower rooms, too, provide an indication of the attention to detail that makes Ceol na Mara such a pleasant place to come home to.

On the first floor, a large, well furnished lounge is reserved for guests to relax and a pleasant dining room is situated on the ground floor, where there is access to a decking area – ideal for soaking up the last rays of sunshine on a good evening.

Only a mile or so outside Tarbert, the main town of Harris and ferry port for sailings to Skye, Ceol na Mara is well situated for touring.

A ten or fifteen minute drive south brings you to the magnificent, shell-sand beaches of Luskentyre, Horgabost and Scarista, while the rugged scenery of the Clisham mountain range begins at around 5 miles north.

Suggestion

A drive along the 14 miles of single track ‘switchback’ road to Hushinish from Aird Aseag, just north of Tarbert, rewards you with stunning views of the mountainous interior, coastline and small islands.  You may even see Golden Eagles soaring.  At the end of the road is a wonderful beach, enjoyable in any weather.  Allow at least 35 to 40 minutes in each direction and please pull into passing places to allow any faster vehicles to overtake (good practice on all single track roads throughout the Hebrides).
