Carnish Byre Carnais

Carnish Byre is in Carnais. It's on Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. It's a converted byre, so it's a single-storey stone building. It's detached and you have your own garden. The view looks straight out over Uig Sands, which is a very big, beautiful beach.

It's for two people. One bedroom with a kingsize bed, and one bathroom with a copper roll-top bath. It's got a 5 Star rating, which means everything is new and well-finished. It's all on the ground floor and has wheelchair access into the property.

The beach is about a hundred yards away. There's a shop and a pub with food about three miles away in Timsgarry. For a bigger shop, Stornoway is about an hour's drive.

The location is remote. You're basically at the end of the road on the west coast. It's very quiet. You'll see eagles, and there are often seals on the beach. Dolphins and whales pass by sometimes.

If you want to go out, the Callanish Stones are about a 40-minute drive. The Blackhouse Village at Arnol is on the way to Stornoway. You can drive over to Harris quite easily for more beaches and mountains. The whole Hebridean Way route is on your doorstep for walking.

Inside, it's open plan. There's a woodburning stove, underfloor heating, a washing machine, and a dishwasher. Bedding and towels are included. There's parking right outside. No pets, sorry.
