The location afforded some spectacular views of the Outer Hebrides and stunning sunsets. The property itself was warm, well stocked and comfortable with lots of nice touches such as home made bread and a welcome letter from the owners. It is one of the remoter parts of the island which absolutely suited us but nearest amenities and “must see” tourist spots were a drive/ bus ride away. Plenty of walking from the doorstep and a perfect place to rest and recharge. Would definitely stay again.
