Berneray Cottage - 30 Backhill

A stone cottage with a thatched roof, right by the sea on Berneray. Every room looks out across the bay, where seals chatter on the rocks and the Leverburgh ferry crosses the Sound of Harris. Otters play along the shore, eagles pass overhead, and West Beach is a short walk away. In winter, the short days and long nights make the cottage especially cosy. Inside, an open-plan sitting room with two sofas, an electric fire and a fitted kitchen along one wall. The bedroom has a super-king bed and Harris Tweed blankets. The bathroom has an over-the-bath shower. There's a dishwasher, a washing machine in the garden bothy, WiFi, a TV for DVDs, and books about the islands. All bedding and towels are provided. Picture yourself at the table with a cup of tea, watching the tide roll in and the evening light settle over the Sound.
