If you’re looking for a quiet break away, surrounded by history and wildlife, this is the place to visit. A perfect base for families to spend some quality time together in the Isle of North Uist.

Head to the edge of the world and stay in the remarkable Isle of North Uist, embracing trips to the beach and long walks with friends, family and pets. This secluded property offers you the peace and quiet needed to unwind yet puts the North Hebrides’ unique attractions within easy reach. The property is ideally suited to a group of four friends or a family of six, as well as two beloved canine companions.

Modern and minimalist throughout, this contemporary property offers a spacious and comfortable base for your Scottish trip. Stop off in the porch to wipe sandy paws and wet fur before heading inside. The living area is a sociable open-plan space on the ground floor, where dining, cooking and relaxing can be enjoyed all together. In the lounge area you’ll find Fido and Rover curled up by the warming wood burner, sleepily dozing off with their pack close by.

The perfect holiday cottage. We went for a week and have rebooked for a fortnight next summer. Great to be so handy for both beaches and Co-op. Being able to sit in a sheltered part of the garden and enjoy the late afternoon sun was a real pleasure and when things were a little colder and wetter, the reading nook upstairs was a delight.

We had a lovely week at Sleatabhal. The location is perfect for exploring North Uist and its surrounding islands. Walking from the cottage through the machair to the beach, where we would often be the only ones there, was always memorable. The island is a fantastic place full of history, tradition, wildlife and stunning scenery.

What a wonderful cottage. The property is spotless and has everything you could possibly need whilst there. The location is fantastic within 15 minutes of the beach and also so handy for the co-op shop when you need things throughout the week. We visited lots of beaches all over the place which were beautiful and often we were the only ones on themRead more! We had a bit of bother with lost property (entirely our own fault) which Cathina and her family were beyond helpful in sorting. Would def go back. Hide

A lovely comfy cottage, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Perfect location for exploring some of the most stunning beaches on the island. Cosy when the weather is wild, but also with a lovely big garden when its sunny. The coop is next door, so very convenient. Cathina was very welcoming and extremely helpful.
