The National Trust for Scotland is looking for new tenants to take over the running of one of the remotest guest houses in the UK
Tighard Guest House is an established bed and breakfast business on the island of Canna. It was built around 1905 and is a two storey detached house with rear kitchen extension which commands an elevated position above Canna Bay.
The National Trust for Scotland’s Manager of Canna, Stewart Connor said: “This is a unique proposition for people who enjoy hard work and want to live in one of the loveliest of settings possible.
“Tighard Guest House is an important part of Canna’s economy and whoever takes on this challenge will be central to a successful tourist and visitor experience. It is not for the faint-hearted but the rewards in terms of the stunning views are second to none.”
The house was built by the Thom family as their summer residence and is an excellent example of an Edwardian villa style house nestled in a Hebridean setting with views over the sound of Canna to Rum .
The guest house will open for business this year on 1 May and guests will be looked after by Trust staff until new tenants are appointed. For further details check out the NTS website.
