Situated on Grimsay, this cosy self-catering cottage stands in its own grounds with delightful views to loch, hill and sea. It is the perfect base from which to explore stunning white sandy beaches, flower filled machair and wild moorland. Overlooking a pretty waterlily loch, named after its wild duck population (Loch nan Lach), Sealladh Eabhal was built by my father and grandfather circa 1955 from local stone and tastefully restored keeping some of its original features and the four outer walls intact. This comfortable accommodation comprises 3 bedrooms, living room with multi-fuel stove, fully equipped kitchen/diner, bathroom and separate toilet. For instant heat, there are digital electronic radiators throughout. The kitchen opens onto a secluded patio with garden furniture and wild moorland views.

I have 10 years experience welcoming new and returning guests. I enjoy beach walks, hill walking and I'm often out and about on my bicycle.
