Parkhill Self Catering

Swap the commute for a week where the only queue is the tide coming in. This modern bungalow sits on the main route between Lochmaddy and Benbecula, with views across to Baleshare and, on clear evenings, the lighthouse on the Monach Isles. Inside, the large family kitchen becomes the heart of your day, with a dining table for long breakfasts and evenings that stretch into the light. Three newly refurbished bedrooms look out over moorland and lochs, with Eaval in the distance. The house is equipped with oil-fired central heating, a lounge with views to the west, and a family bathroom with walk-in shower and corner bath. Well-behaved pets are welcome, and there's ample parking. Red deer sometimes graze near the house at dawn, and if you're lucky, you'll spot them from your bedroom window as the island wakes up around you.
