Tolsta Holiday Accommodation Guide

Tolsta is a village in the Scottish Outer Hebrides that is located on the Isle of Lewis. It lies in the middle of crofting area and has broad views in every direction.

In the northern part of Lewis, close to the community of Tolsta, you'll find Garry beach.

Find a picture-perfect Hebridean croft house in a peaceful crofting town only six miles outside of Stornoway, and enjoy breathtaking views of the sea. The Stornoway Town Center is home to all of the community's essential services, including but not limited to supermarkets, healthcare facilities, restaurants, and the secondary school, in addition to a Post Office and a bus service that runs often. Visit Lewis and checkout Tolsta Holiday Accommodation for your vacation.

This is an excellent spot for spending your vacation on the Isle of Lewis, as there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation here, and they are suited to people of varying physical abilities. Find a charming cottage that provides self-catering options, luxurious lodging, a warm contemporary and modern atmosphere, and a place where you can unwind and appreciate the one-of-a-kind culture and history of the Hebrides, as well as the incredible variety of wildlife that can be found on these extraordinary islands. Bring your family or a group of friends, find some amazing beaches, and look out over the island and out to sea to see blue skies that reach way out into the horizon and change throughout the day, the evening, and the night. Don't forget to bring your camera or your smartphone so you can take some pictures. You should stock up on paints, whether you're going to be working with watercolour, experimenting with oils, or selecting for acrylic paint, as these are the three types of paint that are ideal for painters of varying ability levels.

Stornoway, the capital of the island, is located a short distance away and offers all of the conveniences associated with a bustling town, including a busy harbour, a ferry to the mainland, and a small airport. A wonderful sandy beach with a pier for fishing, Bayble beach is a great place to spend the day. This is a small harbour that can only accommodate smaller vessels. Discover birds such as the Garrabost and lapwing, dunlin, redshank, and oyster catchers, nesting on the moorland. There are colonies of fulmar petrels and kittiwakes to be found on the cliffs, and Loch a Tiumpan is an excellent location for seeing migratory birds. The Tiumpanhead Lighthouse can be found at the very tip of the Point on the Island. Due to the fact that the water is so deep here, this is an excellent location to come in order to observe marine mammals such as whales, dolphins, and porpoises.

Find a lodge in the Back on the Traigh Chuil Beach, and if you want to have a romantic vacation, you may go to the Callanish Standing on a day trip from your vacation home, or you can go to the Museum Nan Eilean. Stornoway Airport is the one that is the most convenient to use.

Bed and breakfasts are plentiful on the Outer Hebrides, and there is a wide variety of options available to accommodate travellers of all tastes and financial means. You can go walking or cycling here, or maybe you just want to get away from it all. This place has what you need.

Tolsta some 12 miles north east from Stornoway is a straggling village at the end of the road along the east coast Which Lord Leverhulme built when he owned Lewis, intending it to complete an island circuit at Port of Ness unfortunately he left the island before it was completed and nothing more was done.

There are several small settlements on the route and at the promontory of Tolsta Head there are fine beaches and some prehistoric remains.

The area has been populated by fisherlolk and crofters, most of whom are members of the very strict Free Presbyterian Church, the “Seeessionists".

From Tolsta there is a splendid panorama across 40 miles of sea to the mainland, from Cape Wrath at the northern extremity of Sutherland down to Ullapool in Ross and Cromarty, this would provide a truly impressive tour of Northern Lewis.
