It is all about the great outdoors here, but no expense has been spared with the indoors either and Beach Cottage offers a wonderful for guests. No matter what time of day you are in the open-plan living space the light is amazing whether it’s at dawn as the sun is coming up or in the evening as the sun is setting. Make the most of the stunning views by relaxing in the elegant seating area or rustle up a romantic meal in the sleek and stylish kitchen. Sit down and enjoy a long, languid meal with your better half with a feature window close by to ensure you don’t miss out on any of the views going on outside the window. When sleep calls, take yourself off to the elegant king-size bedroom which boasts impressive patio doors which help to showcase the sublime sea views. If the Scottish weather allows then make the most of the outdoors by chilling out on the outside decking area, enjoying a romantic drink alfresco and soaking up the fresh air and the views. You may be tempted to stay in your romantic bolthole but there is so much to do outside you’ll be spoilt for choice. There is no shortage of fabulous romantic eateries so if you’re looking for a night off from cooking then check out Uig Sands restaurant (seasonal), The Verandah restaurant and the community café and shop at Shawbost plus the glorious Dalbeg beach is just two minutes away on foot and is the perfect spot for an intimate picnic for two. The nearby village of Borve is steeped in history or if you fancy a drive then a short but scenic drive away is the Callanish Stones and Stornoway is only half an hour in the car. In fact, it is only an hour to the Isle of Harris which has a whole host of delights to offer visitors and is well worth a day trip. For somewhere unique to take that special someone in your life, Beach Cottage is practically perfect in every way. The islands can be reached by flights from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness; or by ferry from Uig on Skye to Tarbert, or Ullapool to Stornoway. EPC Rating: Band C

Dalbeg is a picturesque village nestled on the northwest coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. With its stunning natural beauty, rich history, and warm community spirit, Dalbeg offers visitors a tranquil retreat and a glimpse into the island's past. With its fascinating history that stretches back thousands of years, the village's name is derived from the Scottish Gaelic "Dail Beag," meaning "small meadow"; it has been inhabited since ancient times, with evidence of Neolithic settlements and standing stones in the surrounding area. The village also played a significant role during the Lewis and Harris land struggles in the 19th century, as crofters fought for their rights and land reform- today, the village reflects the resilience and heritage of its inhabitants. The pristine white sands and crystal-clear waters of Dalbeg Beach are a must-see, take a leisurely stroll along the shoreline, breathe in the fresh sea air and perhaps even dip your toes in the Atlantic Ocean. Just a short drive from Dalbeg, you'll find the Arnol Blackhouse, a well-preserved traditional croft house that offers a glimpse into the island's rural past, as well as Callandish Standing Stones. Embark on a wildlife-watching boat tour from nearby locations like Stornoway and keep an eye out for majestic whales and playful dolphins or make the most of your ideal location by exploring the unspoiled landscapes on foot with the West Side Coast Path, Liamisiadair and Gearrannan Walk and the Borvis and Brue walkign routes within accessible reach. A lovely place to begin your next Scottish adventure.
