Beach Bay Cottage - truly wonderful in all aspects. Breath-taking view, beautiful and very comfortable cottage with everything you could possibly want. A lovely home to stay in whether the weather is perfect, or challenging (we stayed during Storm Floris!) Very many thanks - we had an incredible stay.

We absolutely loved spending 2 weeks at Beach Bay Cottage this July. The accommodation is superb, so well kitted out with everything you need. But it's the stunning views which really make this place something very special. Following the ebb and flow of the tide and observing the local wildlife was all the entertainment we really needed. It was also great to learn about the crofting culture of this region. Amazing beaches and dramatic cliffs all on your doorstep. Well stocked local shop and everything you need including great fish and meat an hour away in Stornoway (and such a lovely drive) and of course locally distilled whisky just a 10 minute walk away.
