Taigh Violet Rose

Couples and solo travellers will find Taigh Violet Rose ideal for a quiet Hebridean retreat. This restored blackhouse on the Isle of Benbecula sits on the causeway route between North and South Uist, putting you on an island known for white sand beaches along its Atlantic shore. The single bedroom contains a double bed; everything is on the ground floor, arranged around an open-plan living space with kitchen at one end and sleeping quarters at the other. A garden wraps the property, with seating outside and parking for one car.

The kitchen is equipped for proper cooking—oven, hob, dishwasher and microwave mean you're not limited to basics. Heating, power, bed linen, towels and wi-fi are all included. One dog can stay free, though the Outer Hebrides is sheep country so your pet will need to stay on a lead while outdoors. The cottage sits near Salar Deli and is accessible by ferry to Uist then causeway, or by a short flight into Benbecula Airport from Glasgow.
