This cottage places you within a short walk of Balranald RSPB Reserve and within a mile (2 km) of Tràigh Iar. The cottage includes a kitchen, a Smart TV, and a TV.
Perched on the edge of the Atlantic, Mission House is a rare find — a beautifully appointed three-bedroom retreat on North Uist, one of the Outer Hebrides' most unspoiled islands. With spectacular views across the tidal sands to Vallay Island, this is a place where you genuinely switch off from the world. (Fri-Fri bookings)
The House Sleeping up to six, the house offers a double bedroom, a twin, and a flexible third room that can be configured as a single, twin or double to suit your group. The large bathroom features a generous bath with overhead shower, and the third bedroom benefits from its own en-suite WC. At the heart of the house is a wood-burning stove — perfect after a day out on the island, whatever the weather.
Outside Off-road parking and open skies in every direction. Watch the light change over the tidal flats from the comfort of the house — no two days look the same.
The Area North Uist rewards the curious. The beaches at Udal and West Beach are among Scotland's finest — wide, white and almost always empty. Balranald RSPB reserve is a short drive away, a haven for corncrakes and wading birds. Sea tours, fishing trips and miles of walking and cycling trails are all on your doorstep. And when night falls, the dark skies here are extraordinary.
DISCOUNTS Sometimes there are discounts on our website.
