Uist
Uist is one of four holiday huts on the edge of Stornoway. They're set back from the road, in their own bit of land.
It's a detached wooden hut. It's for two people, with one double bed. There's also a sofa bed but it's really a studio, so it's all one room. It's surprisingly big inside. The bathroom is a good size. The kitchenette is fine for making breakfast and simple meals.
There's a separate hut on the site with a washing machine and drying racks. It's really useful if you've been walking or cycling in the rain. The owners put that in because a lot of people doing the Hebridean Way stay here.
You can walk into Stornoway centre in about ten minutes. That means you can go for dinner without worrying about driving. There's a Co-op in town for shopping. Lews Castle and the museum are even closer, just a few minutes' walk.
From here you can get to most of the main sights on Lewis within an hour. The Callanish Stones are about twenty minutes by car. The Blackhouse Village at Garenin is maybe half an hour. The beaches on Harris, like Luskentyre, are under an hour's drive.
Facilities: there's parking right outside your hut. Bedding and towels are included. There's a TV and WiFi. One well-behaved dog is allowed. There's a cot and a highchair if you need them.
It's a Three Star place. That means it's comfortable and clean, but not luxury. It's a really practical base.
