A beautifully restored stone cottage, this island retreat looks over Riof Bay on the Isle of Lewis. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway is perfect for guests wishing to bring a four-legged friend with them. With a waterside garden and stretch of decking for basking in the sunshine, the single-storey cottage in Uig also comes with a wood burner for chillier stays.

Make your way into this charming, traditional cottage to find an interior that is bright and appealing and makes the most of its stunning position. At the heart of the rustic abode is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner where you can spend quality time together after your exhilarating days out. Light the wood burner in here and cosy up to watch the Smart TV or simply gaze out at the views. In the kitchen area, prepare the fresh Scottish produce you have brought and find all the equipment you need to help you in your endeavours. Serve your breakfast porridge or tasty lunchtime Scotch broth over at the table. Play games, chat and make plans for the following day as you linger over a wee dram of Scotch whisky at the end of the meal.

When you are ready to turn in for the night, head through to the beautifully decorated king-size bedroom or the bunk room, which younger members of your party will adore. The family shower room at this cottage includes accessibility features.

Soak up the sunshine, scenery and sea air out in the garden and on the deck. While away hours at a time gazing out over the bay as you grill supper on the BBQ or open a bottle of wine. Always supervise children and pets, because of the proximity to the water’s edge. There is driveway parking here for two cars.

Lovely cottage , idyllic location looking onto the water. Remember and take adequate provisions as local foodstore is a considerable distance away. Good directions from owner - but you must follow them carefully.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. It was a bit too remote for my husband but the dog and I loved it! A gorgeous beach only 10/15 minutes walk away and the garden was ideal for the dog.

A beautiful remote converted croft. We also had exceptionally good weather which made the holiday everything we hoped for. Spacious but a few things do need addressing which we have advised the owners, so hopefully those issues will be dealt with. We would be happy to return but be aware to take some provisions as shops are very few and nearesRead moret about 10-15 minutes away which doesn't sound far but the roads are mainly single track. This was not a problem to us but does need to be made clear. The local co-op though is reasonably well provisioned with all the basics. Many good walks and the community museum worth a visit. Hide
