1 Bedroom Cottage in Outer Hebrides, Berneray

'Cnoc an Dudain' (the hill of Dudain) is situated on the beautiful island of Berneray, 'the jewell in the crown' of the western isles. This stone and thatched cottage (or 'blackhouse' as they are known on the islands) was rescued as a ruin in 2008. We have carefully renovated, using traditional materials. The rooms have limewashed walls, exposed roof timbers and solid wood floors. There is an efficient multi-fuel stove in the living room, and with 1. 3m thick stone walls, this cottage is the cosiest place to be on a blustry Hebridian afternoon. The cottage lies 150 meters down it's own drive and has ample space for parking. The walled garden area leads down to a small beach, with the remains of an old harbour wall still visible at low tide. Those of you with a keen interest in history can discover the hand carved 'crusie stone' built into the garden wall. Berneray is rich in archaeological sites, with a stone circle, standing stone, Viking harbour and chairstone to name but a few. You will wake up to the sound of seabirds, especially Oyster catcher, Curlew and Turnstones. Seals are very common and in summer will swim close to the cottage after dusk. Otters can also be seen fishing in the lochan at the back of the cottage (during the renovation we had regular visits from an otter one winter and he left his footprints in the wet concrete floor). With such a lot to see and do on and around Berneray, we have made a concious decision not to provide a television. Please come to enjoy the views, watch the wildlife and tune in to the cycle of the tides.

Summary: This is a fairly basic property, but has all the essentials. Ideally located within yards of the sea loch with an abundance of wild life.
Clive N. Jun 19, 2024 04:00:48 PM
Summary: We did not have high expectations of the property, we were aware of the construction and it's downsides. We booked the property for it's location which did not disappoint. The problem with the the house was that the heating was set to come on only occasionally and when it did it was set at 14 degrees C. The bathroom and hall did not have any heating at all. The weather was cold, windy and occasionally wet. The house was therefore very cold and damp. There was no wood kindling and very little coal. Of course Bernaray shop is not open on a Sunday so we couldn't get any supplies. In future, the heating should be set at at least 18 degrees and for longer, there should be plenty of solid fuel, plus there should be a heater if the bathroom. There should at least be two water bottles and two rugs for the settee.

Summary: Glorious

Summary: The cottage is very basic but has everything you need for a comfortable stay and it is on the waterfront so we could kayak fro the front door.
Adrian W. Aug 31, 2022 02:02:52 PM
Summary: Located in a fantastic location, the property affords amazing views, with wildlife, especially sea birds all around. Very quiet surroundings. The property is adequately equipped and has a wood burner in the lounge, which was a lovely feature. Berneray is a great location with easy access to North Uist across the causeway or over to Harris on the ferry.

Summary: Situation on the shore provided amazing views. Lots of wildlife and a dream for bird watching. We were privileged to witness an arial display from a short eared owl hunting at our doorstep.
Alasdair P. Jun 15, 2022 02:32:11 PM
Summary: Clean and comfortable and fastastic location to get away from the rat race. No WiFi and limited mobile coverage - just relax and enjoy the island and its fantastic beaches. Masses of bird-life. Only one seal as they and the otters are away breeding just now. An electric fan heater would be a welcome addition as fuel is not easy to source for the multi-fuel fire.
Dorothy W. Jun 7, 2022 11:32:46 PM
Summary: A wonderful stay. All perfect !
Susan H. May 31, 2022 06:00:07 AM
