"We were very surprised about the lovely and well equipped cottage. We had a very nice week, caught 3 trout, saw a dolphin had dinner outside (because it was so hot!!!) and enjoyed the nature from Lewis and Harris by sunshine looking forward to seeing you again in this wonderful situated and cosy cottage."

The white pebble beach (shown above) is a brisk 10 minute walk from the cottage along the sheep trodden path through the croft then onto the common grazing and along the side of a coastal hill (shown above - looks more adventurous than it actually is) then finally down the sloping hill and onto the shore.
Find yourself relaxing with a fishing rod in hand and a barbecue sitting on the rocks, and keep a lookout for the Basking Sharks, Otters, Seals and Dolphins in this beautiful natural bay.
