Located on the beautiful Isle of Barra, off Scotland's west coast, this property provides you with a true home-from-home on an island where the emphasis is on peace, quiet and relaxation. Sleeping up to six people, with two hounds welcome, you are perfectly placed to explore the island's white sand beaches and lochs, or sniff out the distinctive culture and fascinating history of this Outer Hebridean island.
This delightful holiday cottage offers glorious views from its fenced garden which is perfect for keeping pups safe. with your own private gate to the shore, where you can cast a line into the water and fish, or perhaps launch a kayak to explore the bay (although you will need to bring your own boat). Back inside, the cosy living room provides a welcome retreat on cooler days, or you might choose to relax in the dining room, which offers views out across the water. Upstairs, three bedrooms await weary heads, comprising two doubles and a twin, each with the same far-reaching views awaiting you from the moment you open your eyes in the morning until you close them last thing at night.
At 8 miles long and 4 miles wide, the Isle of Barra is by no means large, but there is plenty for you and your four-pawed friends to see and do in a location once voted Britain's ‘most beautiful island'. Walks through the rugged landscape can take in seven lochs, while urban hounds can pad the pavements of Castlebay, just over 2 miles to the west. As well as shops and eateries, you can take a two-hour ferry journey to Lochboisdale on South Uist, perhaps travelling onwards to explore the islands of Benbecula and North Uist as well.
