Secluded forest retreat-Uist-Outer Hebrides-Stag

Description

Wake to forest, beach and sea — all three from your own balcony. Our secluded luxury cabins sit high among the trees on North Uist in the Outer Hebrides, a rare three-way view you won't find elsewhere on the islands. There is a wealth of wildlife including the UK's smallest bird the goldcrest and the UK's largest bird the white-tailed eagle, and deer graze outside your window. Soak in the ever-changing view from your free-standing bath and unwind by the real wood-burning fire. The space An idyllic retreat for two — many of our guests come to honeymoon or mark a special occasion. Each cabin has a king-size bed in crisp cotton sheets, a reclining sofa beside the wood-burning stove, and big windows framing the forest and the tidal sands. The kitchen is well equipped (cooker, hob, microwave, fridge-freezer and dishwasher) and the bathroom has both a shower and a free-standing bath. Step onto your private balcony for morning coffee in the fresh sea air, or an evening dram as the sun goes down. Summer sunsets are magnificent; in winter the dark skies bring tremendous stars and a good chance of the Northern Lights. For most of the year, stay any day of the week — unlike most Hebridean cabins, we don't tie you to a rigid changeover day: arrive on the day that suits you and stay as many nights as you like. For summer 2027 (May to September) we're taking full-week stays: seven nights, Friday to Friday. Most guests only wish they'd stayed longer. We hope to welcome you to North Uist soon, Kathryn & Angus Other things to note Flexible stays: for most of the year, arrive any day of the week and stay any nights that suit you — no fixed changeover day. For summer 2027 (May to September) stays are full weeks of seven nights, Friday to Friday. A retreat for two; regrettably the cabin is not suitable for children or infants. Dogs are welcome. The cabin is raised treehouse-style at the front; at the back, access is via a ramp. This is a secluded forest retreat — there are no street lights! Long daylight hours in summer; in winter, long dark skies for unrivalled stargazing and the chance of the Northern Lights. The cabin is reached via a forestry track approx. 500m long; the speed limit is 10mph and the track is used at your own risk. It may not suit very low vehicles.
