One of the most unique places to stay in Uig, Isle of Lewis

Of all the places to stay in Uig, our two new holiday cabins have to be among the most unique and special. Purpose-designed with holidaying in mind, they border on the golden sands of Uig beach, where you can sit and watch the Atlantic waves or a sunset in style and comfort. If you are feeling more energetic, there is plenty of natural beauty in the surrounding area to explore, before you head home to relax and eat in your self catering cabin.

Uig, a Haven of Tranquility

While Uig is the largest geographical district on Lewis, it is also the most sparsely populated, so for a break that’s far from the madding crowd, it’s the ideal location. From the Isle of Lewis’ highest peak, Mealasbhal (574m), to the deepest offshore lake in the British Isles, Loch Suaineabhat (67m), and over 20 picture-perfect beaches, there are terrains and landscapes to suit everyone.

For whisky lovers, the Abhainn Dearg Red River Distillery is at Carnish, and is open for tours and tastings; while for history buffs, Uig has a whole host of archaeological sites to explore. Uig Beach itself, for instance, is most famously known as the location of the discovery of the Lewis Chessmen. Now in the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, replicas with an interpretative display can be viewed in the Uig Heritage Centre in nearby Tuimisgearraidh.

Bird watchers too are amply catered for, with species in the region including the golden eagle, merlins, herons and buzzards, alongside a host of other coastal birds. And the lucky few who venture out in the early mornings may even catch a glimpse of the otters who live up river…
