With off-road parking, sleeping up to 12 Clachan Lodge is ideal for families and groups of friends.

Upon arrival, you will be able to unpack with ease from the handy off-road spot and admire the beautiful mixture of a contemporary wooden extension with fabulous windows and the white painted traditional cottage. Pull yourself away from this beautiful property and captivating views and find yourself in an open-plan living area that is simply stunning, with wooden ceiling and flooring, huge windows drawing in natural light and giving this property an airy feel, and the addition of sculptures, artwork and photographs to add a homely feel to this magnificent house. Lounge in the stunning sitting area before huge windows giving spectacular views, a variety of tasteful sofas and a woodburning stove warming your feet as you plan the day ahead of you. Leading on from the sitting area is a stylish kitchen fitted with all of the home comforts you would need, so why not cook up a storm from local produce and present it on the dining table with a view? There is also the addition of a handy utility to take care of all your sandy clothing as well as a games room for the children supplying books, toys and a TV. Four of the six bedrooms are situated on the ground-floor, including a ground-floor king-size with zip link (can be set up as twin on request) with en-suite bathroom, a ground-floor king-size with zip-link with en-suite shower room, a ground-floor king-size with en-suite bathroom, and a ground-floor double with en-suite shower room, all with the addition of beautiful wooden furniture, paintings and ample storage to make you feel right at home, and there is an additional wet room on the ground-floor perfect for the children’s rooms which are situated upstairs and include a twin, and a bunk. The sitting area outside of this property is magnificent, accessible through the huge sliding windows and offering a decking area to lounge on with a glass of your favourite beverage as you admire the sun set, and a lawn where the children and your four-legged family member can play.

North Uist has a variety of stunning sandy beaches to choose from, all of which are ideal for a family picnic with your four-legged companion, watersports such as kayaking, or a pleasant coastal walk with the salty breeze in your hair. The nearby town of Lochmaddy will be ideal for a hot meal in one of the local pubs and restaurants, brought to you as you relax after an afternoon of hiking through the stunning scenery, as well as a visit to the magnificent harbour, which can provide a ferry to the mainland. You may also take a day excursion to South Uist via Benbecula, where you'll find a range of beautiful sandy beaches and incredible wildlife just waiting to be discovered. In the spring and summer, you may also be able to see the machair flowers, which are the cottage's namesake and a stunning sight for any visitor. Lose yourself in the wonders of North Uist with a stay at the magnificent Clachan Lodge. The islands can be reached by flights from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness; or by ferry from Uig on Skye to Lochmaddy, or Oban to Lochboisdale.

The village of Lochmaddy is the terminus for the daily ferry linking it to Uig on the Isle of Skye and it is also the main centre of population for the island of North Uist. Lochmaddy has good facilities and services including a selection of hotels serving fresh local produce in their dining rooms. A visit to the award-winning museum and arts centre located in the centre of Lochmaddy is a must, and there is also a tourist office full of information about local events and places to visit. The road south of Lochmaddy will lead you to the village of Carinish some 10 miles away and if you continue on this road you can cross the causeway to the island of Benbecula. The town of Balivanich in Benbecula offers shops, post office, a bank, restaurant, a petrol station and an airport, from which car hire can be arranged. The causeway from Benbecula then leads onward to the island of South Uist.
