No.2 Meallard

Balivanich sits on the west side of Benbecula, where the roads are quiet and the sky opens wide over low ground and water. This is where you come to leave the mainland rush behind—no traffic, no crowds, just long evenings and beaches you'll have to yourself. No.2 Meallard is a three-bedroom home with its own entrance, a fully equipped kitchen, and a garden where you can sit with a cup of tea and nothing pressing to do. There's a washing machine, a flat-screen TV, and all the towels and bed linen you need. It's a straightforward, comfortable base for a week of doing very little, or walking as far as you like and coming back to total peace. Picture yourself here: no alarm, no queue, just the sound of the wind and the sea, and a whole week of your own time.
