This traditional croft house is situated on the north east side of the beautiful island of Eriskay, known for its distinctive hilly terrain, turquoise seas and white sandy beaches. In an elevated position with wonderful views across to South Uist and towards the final resting place of the famous S.S Politician Mo Dachaidh, this detached cottage is in an ideal location for families and couples looking for a relaxing break away from the stresses of everyday life!

Eriskay is probably best known for its rare Eriskay ponies, the film ’Whisky Galore’ and the song ’Eriskay Love Lilt’. In 2001 the island was connected to South Uist by a long causeway, allowing easy access to explore South Uist, Benbecula and North Uist, where from June to September the famous machair is covered in a blanket of rare flowers, with a shimmering mass of colour. From the south end of the island you can sail to Barra and visit Castlebay, or watch the planes land on the beach. There is an abundance of wildlife with seals and otters often spotted, whilst basking sharks, dolphins and whales visit during the summer months. Hen harriers, sea eagles, golden eagles and the elusive corncrake make the islands a birdwatcher’s paradise!

The Hebrides are steeped in history and a small bay on Eriskay is where Bonnie Prince Charlie touched Scottish soil for the first time. St Michael’s Church is worth visiting to see the bell from the German battleship sunk at Scapa Flow, and the unusual altar base is made from the bow of a lifeboat lost at St Kilda. There are also plenty of outdoor pursuits including a variety of water sports, cycling, walking and fishing. The small island shop and a bar/restaurant are both within walking distance. Eriskay is truly a step back in time and one of those places you will never forget! Beach 200 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.
