Pod Beag Na Haun is a luxury pod located in Eriskay, Scotland, overlooking tidal Haun Bay with views of Ben Scrien and the hills of South Uist. The pod is modern, cosy, and well-equipped, featuring a spacious decking area. Eriskay is a peaceful and historic island known for the landing of Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745. The island has a white sandy beach named in his honor, where convolvulus flowers bloom every July and August. Visitors can enjoy shellfish raking at Baile beach and explore the island on foot, reaching the top of Ben Scrien for stunning views of the surrounding islands.
Eriskay is home to an excellent community shop, the Politician Pub serving fresh local seafood, and a restaurant open year-round. The island has a famous connection to the SS Politician, which ran aground in 1941 with a cargo of whisky that inspired the film Whisky Galore. Eriskay Ponies, a rare breed, roam the island, adding to its charm. The owner, an artist and photographer, lives next door and can provide information on Gaelic culture and language, while respecting guests' privacy.
The surrounding tidal waters of Eriskay are teeming with wildlife, including seals, otters, porpoises, sea eagles, and oyster-catchers. The island is ideal for water sports and fishing, offering a peaceful and invigorating retreat for those seeking a unique experience. The chalet is conveniently located near the beach, with Askernish Golf Club and Lochboisdale South Uist Ferry Terminal nearby for additional activities. Eriskay Beach and Barra Beach are also popular natural attractions in the area.
