Tranquil Loch side cottage in the Hebrides
Set on the Island of Bernera and connected to the Isle of Lewis by road bridge, Lochan View Cottage offers both a tranquil retreat and an opportunity to experience and explore the beauty of the Outer Hebrides.
The cottage offers a large decking area with stunning views across Loch Geal. Comfortably accommodating up to 5 guests (+ baby), all modern needs are provided to an exceptionally high standard.
On Bernera is the beautiful Bostadh Beach, also the site of an Iron Age Fort. The island provides the perfect setting for walking, fishing, cycling, bird watching or just sitting back and relaxing in the comfort of Lochan View Cottage.
The Western Isles is home to an abundance of impressive wildlife and can boast Golden Eagles, Dolphins, Otters and Seals amongst its residents. You may even spot a whale.
The cottage offers a large decking area with stunning views over Loch Geal. Inside consists of 3 bedrooms (master en-suite), living room, dining room, superbly well equipped kitchen, bathroom and utility room.
The most northerly of the Outer Hebrides and the largest, The Isle of Lewis is the most welcoming of places. Warm hospitality is just as embedded as the beautiful beaches, the wildlife, the plant life, the many historical sites and the wonderfully clean air.
The local area offers the stunning Bostadh Beach and Iron Age Fort, some great fishing Lochs (including Loch Geal on the doorstep of Lochan View Cottage) and ample opportunity to seek out the local wildlife.
Stornoway is a picturesque 30 minute drive away and surprises most first time visitors with its range of facilities and vibrant social scene, host of shops, pubs, restaurants and regular events.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.
