From the owner

New to the market in April 2019, Grianan Cottage is a 3 bedroom bungalow situated on Baleshare, a small Island connected by causeway road to the west side of North Uist. It has a wide open outlook towards an Atlantic coastal plain and dunes, just ten minutes walk along a quiet road from a beautiful long white sandy beach. Balivanich and Lochmaddy are approximately 20 minutes drive away. The house has been our family home for generations and now we would like to share it with others who want to explore and enjoy the beauty of the Uists. Recently refurbished throughout with a modern kitchen and bathroom. The house is contained within a large fully enclosed, child friendly garden with a drying green and tarmac parking area at the rear. Travel cot and baby bath also provided. Folding bed available on request.

**accommodation available from Saturday-Saturday, minimum stay one week. Check-in from 16:00 check-out at 10:00**
