Property information
7A and 7B are two Hebridean cottages which can be let either individually or together. 7A, which accommodates 4, is certainly large enough and well equipped to be able to accommodate 6 adults for dining and relaxing in the evening.
The cottages are so close to the famous Ardroil beach, where the Lewis Chessmen were found, as to be a lovely stroll down. The Uig Sands are some of the most dramatic in the Outer Hebrides - certainly on a par with Luskentyre on Harris. Regardless of the time of year, the drama of this coastline can be enjoyed.
Just 2 miles from the cottages is the Uig Community shop which is well stocked and where petrol and diesel can be bought. The Community Centre has a small but fascinating museum and a cafe selling the most amazing cakes and ice-cream as well as lunches.
Just 15 minutes drive will find you at Miavaig Harbour where you can buy freshly landed seafood and hand dived scallops in the season from 'The Seafood Shack'.
Beach fanatics have a choice of 24 beaches on the Uig peninsula alone, each one a gem in its own right. Riof Beach won a 2018 accolade of being one of the best beaches in the world! Hill walkers will of course head for those amazing Uig Hills, not very far from Ardroil, and whisky lovers will be delighted to find the small Abhainn Dearg distillery now producing the first Isle of Lewis malt whisky.
Whatever your holiday plans, 7A Ardroil will always give you a warm welcome home.
