About this property
Nestled by the sheltered water of Riof Bay, you will see lots of wildlife enjoying respite from the turbulent waters of the North Atlantic. Stroll along the amazing Reef Beach on the other side of the peninsula (1 mile), or discover the tiny sandy cove of Mangersta Beach (8.5 miles). Callanish Standing Stones (20 miles) is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in Scotland. These ancient stones date back over 5,000 years and offer a mystical and atmospheric experience. Arnol Blackhouse (35 miles) is a traditional thatched house that offers a glimpse into the island's crofting past, showcasing how people lived in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Visit the harbour at Stornoway (33 miles) and soak up the sights of the bustling town and the brightly coloured boats bobbing on the shores. Wander the streets and enjoy the local shops and cafes. Make sure you sample some of the island's best food, drink, produce and crafts, including the world-famous Harris Tweed.
Step inside this beautiful cottage overlooking the bay. The hall is the perfect space to store your outdoor clothing before heading through to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Relax on the comfortable sofas and enjoy a great movie together. Cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen and set the table and enjoy a family meal together. On chilly evenings, cosy up in front of the wood burner after a day spent exploring the beautiful surrounding area. There are two light and bright bedrooms, one king-size and one bunk bedroom, and a spacious family shower room.
