Traditional Stone And Thatch Cottage On The Waters Edge With Beautiful Sea Views

Berneray, Na h-Eileanan an Iar

'Cnoc an Dudain' is a charming stone and thatched cottage located on the picturesque island of Berneray in Scotland. Renovated in 2008 using traditional materials, the cottage features limewashed walls, exposed roof timbers, and solid wood floors. With an efficient multi-fuel stove in the living room and thick stone walls, it offers a cozy retreat on blustery Hebridian afternoons. The cottage is nestled 150 meters down its own drive with ample parking space and a walled garden area leading to a small beach, where the remains of an old harbour wall can be seen at low tide. History enthusiasts can explore the hand-carved 'crusie stone' in the garden wall, while the island boasts various archaeological sites such as a stone circle, standing stone, Viking harbour, and chairstone.

Visitors to 'Cnoc an Dudain' can wake up to the soothing sounds of seabirds like Oyster catchers, Curlews, and Turnstones, with common sightings of seals swimming near the cottage and otters fishing in the nearby lochan. The absence of a television encourages guests to immerse themselves in the stunning views, wildlife, and the ebb and flow of the tides. Located in the Isle of North Uist, the cottage offers a tranquil rural setting near the beach, perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape. Cultural attractions like Taigh Chearsabhagh and MacGillivray Centre, as well as landmarks such as St. Clement's Church and Bharpa Langass & Pobull Fhinn, are within reach for those interested in exploring the local heritage and history. Whether you're looking to relax in nature, discover archaeological wonders, or simply enjoy the serenity of island life, 'Cnoc an Dudain' provides a delightful retreat for two in the heart of Scotland's western isles.
