From the owner

Old Post Office House in the village of Amhuinnsuidhe (pronounced Aven Suey), Gaelic for "sitting by a river" has everything you will need for your stay on Harris. Unspoiled countryside surrounds the accommodation which sits with breathtaking sea views on the shore of Loch Leosavay, 12 miles northwest of the main Harris port of Tarbert. Amhuinnsuidhe and the surrounding landscape has been designated both a Special Protection Area and a Site of Special Natural Interest.

With a huge variety of activities to participate in right on your doorstep, Old Post Office House offers an ideal location for anyone looking to explore Harris and beyond. For those simply looking to relax and unwind the tranquil views from the front of house decking will not disappoint and the white sands of Hushinish beach is only a short drive away.
