Your view from your room looks out over the beach and the beautiful tidal island of Vallay, (roll your trousers up and walk over when the tide is out) and on the other side to the hills of the next door island of Harris, this beach is also great for cockles (catch your own dinner) the hosts are also happy to cook these for you! The accommodation is in classic rustic style crowned with a romantic four-poster bed. You have a lounge area with comfy sofas, and an ensuite shower room with all the toiletries you need. There’s a hairdryer, TV and freesat (in a cabinet though if you don’t want to be reminded of it!) and free fibre wi-fi. Heating is as green as it gets- gel radiators powered by Neil and Marion’s own wind turbines, there’s also a electric car charging point which is available to guests. And if your pets can’t be left to miss out on all the fun, Neil and Marion are happy to have them, just let them know in advance. You have your own main access door and a warm, welcoming room in which to unwind at the end of your day.

Neil & Marion live and work on North Uist, we are both self employed thatchers and undertake restoration work Your hosts Neil and Marion look forward to welcoming you in their home, and helping you get the most from your visit. Neil grew up in Uist and can tell you chapter and verse about this most special place, and Marion is from Germany- handy for some of the many European visitors who love to visit the Outer Hebrides.

North Uist is one of the most magical islands in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. It’s where the eagle soars, the corncrake calls and the rhythm of nature is still at the heart of daily life. Neil and Marion’s new B&B in the stunning north-west of the island near Sollas, the area of Malaclate famous for its beautiful beaches where the air is breathtaking with the scent of wild flowers from the machair land. Walking on the hills and seeing for miles- even as far as the mysterious archipelago of St Kilda some 40 miles to the north-west. A spot of fishing perhaps or birdwatching. From majestic eagles to busy oyster catchers and lapwings, otters and red deer, North Uist is renowned for its wild life. You’ll certainly hear and may even see that elusive corncrake!
