About this property

Stornoway 36 miles. Overlooking the beautiful beaches of Uig Bay on the Isle of Lewis, 7 Carnish is the perfect pad for families or couples looking to get away from it all and explore the wonders of the Outer Hebrides. From the welcome gift on arrival to the Smart TV and Nintendo Wii, to the nearby gentle walks along the beach, there is something for everyone here and the property really is a home from home for its guests. A light and airy entrance hallway leads into an impressive open-plan living space which has delightful French doors opening onto an expansive decking area with views over Uig Bay and beyond. Here, there is a sofa, armchairs, a woodburning stove and a wall-mounted TV, the ideal environment for curling up, chatting and enjoying those mesmerising views. And with underfloor heating throughout you really will be able to get warm and snug. Leading off from here is a fully equipped, state of the art kitchen which has all the facilities you need to create a selection of truly appetising dishes to showcase the wonderful local produce and ingredients. Enjoy relaxing meals at the dining table and make the most of the panoramic views from the picture window, or if the weather permits, why not dine alfresco on the decking area and soak up the breath-taking vista of Uig Sands? After an adventurous day, rest up in the master double bedroom complete with en-suite shower room. Two single bedrooms and an additional small shower room complete the accommodation. Imagine throwing open the patio doors and breathing in the fresh Hebridean air, opening the garden gate and walking along the stunning sandy beaches of Uig Bay. Here you can embrace all the watersports activities you want and when the tide is right you can even walk over the sands to Uig Sands Restaurant. It really doesn’t get any better than that! Within a few miles, there is a scallop shack at Miavaig Harbour and Sea Trek boat trips. The Isle of Lewis has so much to offer visitors from the fascinating Callanish Stones which predate Stonehenge to Lews Castle, Museum nan Eilean, the Butt of Lewis Lighthouse and even the harbour at Stornoway. Whether you want to laze on the decking taking in the beach views or indulge your passion for outdoor activities, 7 Carnish has all the ingredients for a trip to remember. The islands can be reached by flights from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness; or by ferry from Uig on Skye to Tarbert, or Ullapool to Stornoway.

Stornoway is the only town in the Outer Hebrides and is a bustling and growing area with a busy working harbour, a great selection of shops selling local gifts including Harris Tweed, leisure facilities and wonderful award-winning restaurants selling locally sourced food of the highest quality. Lewis is a place where the lilting Gaelic language is spoken everywhere! Visitors to the town will find plenty to keep them occupied, the magnificent Lews Castle Grounds and the iconic Lews Castle, many good museums and art galleries and also a smart golf course and clubhouse. The large, quiet sandy beaches are close by and provide visitors with wonderful views and the town itself forms a great base for a holiday exploring the unique islands that form the Outer Hebrides. On the north west side of Lewis you can visit the village of Arnol with its Blackhouse Museum, an unmissable visit for anyone wanting to understand the way of life that was once widespread in Lewis. Carloway Broch is nearby and is another fascinating landmark and incredibly well preserved. The Callanish Stones from the Neolithic are also well worth visiting. The whalebone arch and numerous Iron Age dwellings on stunning Bosta beach make for great days out. The friendliness of the local people will astound visitors to the islands and you cannot fail to be impressed with the genteel and contented pace of life you will encounter here.
