Tigh Bhisa is a high quality renovated blackhouse cottage in the Outer Hebrides providing luxury 4-star self-catering for two people.

Tigh Bhisa is pronounced "Tie-Veesa" and means the House of "Bisa" Macdonald, the nickname of the Macdonald family who have been tenants for over 250 years on this one croft in the village of Tolstachaolais.

The blackhouse has been renovated to the highest standards and is complete with all amenities including underfloor heating and peat-fired stove. It provides a wonderful hideaway or romantic cottage for two. "A gem!"

Tolstachaolais (or "tol-sta-ker-lish") is a quiet village on the west of the Isle of Lewis, one of the stunningly beautiful string of islands off the west coast of Scotland. The cottage overlooks Loch Roag and is a central and convenient base for exploring the islands.

Tigh Bhisa is one of two restored blackhouses on the croft, nestled side by side at the foot of the hill. They are sheltered from the winds but south-facing. The other blackhouse serves as a boatshed, recognising the ideal sailing and kayaking in the sheltered waters of Loch Roag, as well as the superb fishing on freshwater- and sea-lochs. Or if dry land is more your interest the cottage is ideally located for walking, exploring the islands' rich history and archaeology, or taking in the culture.
