Sealladh Mara is in an ideal location with views in virtually all directions. A 15 min walk to the north and west beach. Wildlife in abundance, owl, cuckoo and sea eagle. Property was very comfortable with all mod cons. Would recommend it without hesitation.

We had a fabulous 10 day stay here, absolutely stunning views from the cottage itself, sat for hours looking out of the windows.We had migrating Geese on the property, seals only 2 minutes drive from the property and 2 amazing beaches on the island. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, will definitely visit again!

This was at least the third time we have stayed at Sealladh Mara and we have booked to stay again. We just can't stay away! The house is fantastically located, a little exposed but with wonderful views. You can see the ferry for Harris coming and going out of the kitchen window along with short eared owls, hen and marsh harriers. wonderful sunsets are watched out of the open plan sitting room area. We also had an eagle glide over the house. Breathtaking. Sealladh Mara is a short-ish walk over the machair to the north part of glorious West beach, which provides the best swimming on the planet! You can sit and watch the porpoise and the gannets dive in the Straight of Pabbay and look at the wonderful views of Pabbay and the Harris hills. If the weather is not great the log burner is easy to light and heats the house within minutes and you can sit inside and watch the weather blow past. The house is perfectly designed with a decent utility area for wetsuits, boots etc, open plan kitchen/dining/sitting area and 3 lovely double/twin bedrooms, 2 bathrooms plus a cloakroom loo. Cannot wait to return!

Great house, well designed and equipped, and in the most wonderful peaceful location with all round views. Water pressure can be low at times so showers not always available, but that wouldnt stop me staying again.

10.0 / 10.0

We've stayed before and just love the relative isolation, the views, and the peace. We are wildlife photographers, So the Short-eared owls and Hen Harriers that are around the cottage are a delightful distraction. 3 White -tailed eagles on the hill behind the cottage, while we were unpacking the car, was a bonus! The house is lovely, modern, well equipped and well designed, we just love it!

The property is very well designed and furnished. It is in an elevated position and each window provides a beautiful view as far as the west and east coasts of Berneray. We watched some amazing sunsets whilst sitting outside. We enjoyed exploring Berneray and North Uist by car and on foot; the scenery was stunning and we were lucky to see the machair in full bloom. After a day out it was a treat to return to Sealladh Mara. It really was a home from home, only better.

The Perfect Winter Escape! My partner and I have just returned from a month’s Winter break on Berneray in this fantastic house over the Christmas & New Year period. From start to finish, communication with Steve was excellent. Super speedy responses, really helpful, kind and thoughtful… Christmas decorations and a welcome basket of goodies awaited us as we stepped inside this beautiful, contemporary, light, airy and cosy warm, clean house. The photographs of the house do not do it justice. There are fantastic, 360 degree views which make this property just the most comfortable of bird hides from which to spot all manner of birds, including the near daily fly pasts of two White Tailed Eagles! My partner is the birder and absolutely loved the fact that he could run from room to room to watch these magnificent beasts flying across. The scenery is stunning. Berneray is much flatter than probably the rest of the Outer Hebrides but what it lacks in height it makes up for with the dramatic weather fronts that storm across the island. A constant changing picture of magnificent clouds, colours, rainbows and sunshine. Out of the 30 days we only stayed in about 4 times when the weather was bad but apart from that, we were out every day walking in glorious sunshine, chilly but sunny with what seemed like, the whole island to ourselves! Our favourite walk from the house was a good 3 hour trek. Turn right out of the gate and head over the machair to the sand dunes of West Beach - 3 miles of pure white sand being licked and washed with the rolling turquoise and blue waves crashing hypnotically onto its shore. Head North then turn right and walk over Beinn Shleibhe for fantastic views of Harris in the distance before dropping down onto East Beach, a curvier beach with more shells to peruse and views over to Skye. Walk past the old thatched Youth Hostel at the Southern end of East Beach (met one of the friendly wardens who was there for Christmas week who invited us in for a welcome cup of tea one day) before walking back inland to Ruisgarry and home to the beautiful house. We loved the tranquility of the place, the friendliness of the people (not that we saw too many) the huge beaches all to yourself, the wildlife, the big skies, the remoteness and the comfort of a beautiful house with every thing you needed for a break away from all the world’s worries. Priceless! Highly recommend.

Sandra & Steve have thought of everything when offering their home for holiday rental. The house and its location are suberb and we had a fabulous week despite some pretty poor weather. Berneray's beaches are amazing, but Harris is well worth a day trip too. Westend Motors on Benbecula and Pete helped us out with a mechanical problem which was a great relief. Will be booking for next year!

What a breathtakingly beautiful location and a wonderful property. The house was so lovely with amazingly comfortable beds and a brilliant log burning stove. There was literally everything you could need and the views were spectacular! The only tiny point is that the kettle leaked from the bottom which we just swabbed but it was slightly alarming. We would definitely return....an amazing place!

A Hebridean Dream

This was our second visit and it was as beautiful and enchanting as we remembered. The location is second to none - on a hill with a view of St Kilda and a short drive/stroll to the stunning West Beach which is always deserted - we swam there everyday! From the window we also enjoyed watching owls quartering against the stunning sunset every night. The property itself is so comfortable and decorated/equipped to a high standard. We definitely hope to return once again.

Another restful stay in this property on this very lovely island. Sealladh Mara modern, tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. It has incredible views and offers a total “switch - off” from (the very hard to go back to) busy town life. Stunning walks and wildlife so if you are organised with self- catering you don’t need to use the car once you’ve arrived. Beds comfortable, every mod-con and a very calm feeling to the whole house. We so love it.

Stunning property in a beautiful location

What a base for our holiday. Views from every corner. Comfort and Convenience abound. We had a lucky week with the weather as a result this property and Berneray shone. Short stroll from a World Class beach, geese casually chilling in the garden, evening visit from local horses, lambs gambling in the fields and beautiful Sunsets views from the sofa. Kids also loved the play frame! Only tips would be 1. Cutlery is in a secret drawer under the hob (wasted a good 15 minutes going 'surely there is cutlery?' 2. Bring a window cleaning kit. The views demand it. Yes sounds nuts but you will thank me later! 3. Read the arrival instructions before setting foot in Berneray or risk driving about aimlessly before heading to the Post Office for emergency WiFi! Slight issue with house WiFi which was resolved speedily through text. Couldn't fault our stay . Highlights included: Ponies on Eriskay Barbecue and Sunset on Clachan Sands Walk around RSPB Balranald (Dolphins!) and the Beaches of North Uist, Harris and of course West Beach on Berneray. Thank you for letting your amazing home to us The Findlays

Great house for comfort and views and as a base to see the Western Isles

Everything worked (except wifi - but that's very understandable and wasn't missed!) Clean, magnificent views. Great location. Warm and with an excellent log fire. We had two sets of visitors - each staying 3/4 days. They all loved the house and the access it gave to a most beautiful part of Scotland. People on Berneray - all friendly eg those we met at poetry reading, at church, and when walking. Good access to Harris and for end of February - great weather.
