From the owner

Relaxing Home With 4 Bedrooms (2 King, 1 Double, 2 Single), Big Lounge, Dining.

The house is a large, 4 bedroom family home incorporating 2 king rooms (one en-suite), a double bedroom and a large room with two single beds.

The grand lounge has a wood burning stove, reading corner and stunning views of the moor, ocean and village.

The dining room has a large, solid wood, 10 seater dining table made from the reclaimed railway sleepers from St. Pancras station when it was renovated to make room for the EuroStar terminal.

The kitchen is large and modern and there is a utility area and internal drying space for clothes or wet walkers/fisherman/adventurers.

The large, gallery hallway, is also a great space to grab a book and read in silence.

All our bedrooms and our dining room and snug are equipped with digital HD televisions.

There is a large bathroom with a walk in shower and slipper bath which also looks out over the ocean and loch.

There is a toilet located on the ground floor as well.

Outside the property there are 4 distinct garden zones. There is the large lawn suitable for a whole host of your own sports adventures or relaxing in the sun and breathing in the refreshing sea air.

There is a fenced area which acts as a sun trap on warm days. It includes a rare example of a Monkey Puzzle tree, our kennels and wood store and the designated smoking area (our property is non-smoking throughout including e-cigarettes).

Then there is our vegetable patch. Here we grow our own potatoes, carrots, herbs and rhubarb. If there is any in season we will see what we can do for you!

Finally there is the old croft. This area, uniquely preserved, has the ruins of old croft buildings that you can explore and also, usually, has a friendly sheep or two that would enjoy a slide of toast in the morning or, their favourite, a donut (plain!).

We do allow dogs but ask that they remain within certain parts of the property e.g. outdoor kennels, gardens, garage, utility area, kitchen and dining area. If we find signs of pets in other areas then we reserve the right to withhold the security deposit.

The house is the perfect place to leapfrog into an amazing island holiday away from the hustle and bustle of life. You will feel the total relaxation and isolation our house offers you.
