Kelp Cottage North Uist

Kelp Cottage is a stone-built cottage dating from the late 1800s in the township of Locheport on North Uist, on a croft that once belonged to the owner's grandmother. It stands across the road from the old pier on the sea loch, with views to Eaval and Beinn Langass.

The cottage has three bedrooms: a ground-floor king-size room with a jack-and-jill en suite that has a wet-room shower and a separate bath, and upstairs a double and a twin. The kitchen/dining room has an electric cooker, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer, and there is wi-fi, a TV with DVD player and a Bluetooth speaker.

The established garden has wheelchair-width concrete paths, two seating areas, a south-facing patio and a solar-lit summerhouse. Beach towels, a cool box, flasks and day rucksacks are provided for guests. Langass Lodge is about a 40-minute walk along the Hebridean Way.
