A Four Star Awarded Self Catering Cottage With Views Of The Kyles Of Valasay On The Isle Of Bernera

Valasay Self-catering Holidays provide 4-star accommodation in one of the most beautiful settings in the Western Isles, sometimes called the Outer Hebrides. This recently built semi-detached croft house overlooks the Kyles of Valasay, which is an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. Grey Seal and many species of sea and shore birds can regularly be seen here. The quality of the water is superb, with Sea Trout and Salmon annually making their way inshore. An early rise may reward you with a sighting of the elusive Otter. Our four star grading from VisitScotland reflects the care and attention to detail we have invested in our property and means that you can come and relax, knowing that you are a valued guest, in surroundings that add to your relaxation and contentment.

At the bottom of the drive is a 100 year old footbridge across a Marine Special Area for Conservation. This designation has been given to protect rare varieties of marine invertebrates and seaweeds. The flow of water changes with the tides and offers a unique atmosphere to the house as you lie in your bed listening to the soothing sound of the water flowing. Our house is located in an excellent area for walking, with a way marked circular coastal walk leading from your door to the magnificent beach at Bosta where in 1996 archaeological excavations revealed the site of an Iron Age settlement. Elsewhere in Bernera, other walks you can enjoy are to a Norse Mill or to an iron age Broch at Loch Baravat. The island itself is very scenic and is the perfect location for a spot of bird watching, fishing or walking. For the more energetic, sea-kayaking can be enjoyed from the shore at the bottom of the drive, giving access over to Uig and the beautiful islands in between.
