Travel down a private track, close to the sea and shrouded in trees, to find yourself at the foot of this magnificent property situated in Claddach Valley on the Isle of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides.

    Great host and beautiful house and surroundings 10/10

  • Tom

    The house is beautiful and filled with nice touches and lovely furniture. The grounds are secluded and have a great fire pit and dining area. Bruce goes out of his way to make sure that your holiday is enjoyable and that you have everything you need. We will - without a doubt - be back.

  • Matthijs

    The ‘grand’ and beautiful modern house is perfect in every way. With a lovely garden and a striking view. A well equipped kitchen and many bathrooms. Everything is as it should be. Nature is overwhelming and the beaches are stunning and everywhere. We would recommend it to everyone. We were only with the 2 of us, which was great. But the house can also easily accommodate a whole family and you will still have space enough to find your own space. We had a perfect stay. And will remember our time on North Uist as a very special one.
