About
Relax and unwind in our cosy 1 bedroom Hebridean Cottage overlooking the Atlantic on the west coast of North Uist. The cottage has an elevated position and enjoys stunning views over Hoglan Bay and the RSPB's Balranald Nature Reserve. Located 1/2km off the main road the cottage provides a secluded location to relax and enjoy the wild Atlantic coastal scenery. It’s ideal for bird watching.
Newly renovated to a high standard in 2018, this traditional croft house sleeps 2 people in a king size bed. The kitchen/living room is well equipped and has a wood burning stove (locally cut peat is supplied) so that you can curl up and relax in front of the fire after exploring the island. Facilities include wifi, TV with Freeview channels and bathroom with large walk in shower. Linen and towels are also supplied. We are pet friendly - a maximum of 2 well behaved dogs are welcome to join you.
The cottage takes its name from the nearby natural arch and blow hole, the "Spouting Kettle" or "Slochd a Choire" in Gaelic. Atlantic storms force huge waves into the cave causing the sea to spout into the air through the blow hole, hence the name.
