About this cottage rental
This stunning property offers guests luxury accommodation in a beautiful scenic location, just 200 yards from a white sandy beach and turquoise waters.. Overlooking the magnificent Clachan Sands, this modern luxurious island holiday home boasts fabulous attention to detail. This single-storey, detached cottage has mood lighting throughout, a magnificent steam room, rain shower, whirlpool bath, electric lazy boys and private hot tub, subject to Hebridean weather conditions- the list goes on! The thoughtful owners have included everything to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. With the owner being a fisherman, guests will even receive a complementary seafood delivery (weather permitting). With miles of white sandy beaches, turquoise seas and a blanket of rare flowers turning the famous machair into a shimmering mass of colour, the Isle of Uist is undoubtedly beautiful. The incredible landscape surrounding Skipper’s Retreat is a paradise for bird watchers with hen harriers, sea eagles, golden eagles and the elusive corncrake just some of the most iconic birds seen.
Surrounded by an abundance of wildlife, seals and otters are often spotted, whilst basking sharks, dolphins and whales visit during the summer months. You can catch a ferry nearby to explore the popular islands of Harris and Lewis, or head south to Eriskay and Barra for a superb day out. Outdoor enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice, with a variety of activities to choose from including hill walking, surfing, fishing, golf, diving, sea kayaking, cycling and wild swimming. Photographers and artists will not be disappointed with dramatic landscapes, spectacular sunsets and an opportunity to see the spectacular Northern Lights. The Outer Hebrides are truly unique and Skipper’s Retreat will make you wish you could stay longer. Beach 200 yards. Shop 6½ miles, pub and restaurant 7 miles.. All on the Ground Floor:

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2019
My husband and I had a wonderful time at Skipper’s Retreat. We stayed from Friday, 18th to Friday, 25th October 2019. The property was well equipped and the contemporary design was up to our expectations. It was wonderful. Returning to the property after a long day walking, was the icing on the cake. The weather was pretty bad but this was offset by the wonderful facilities at the property. Tina and DA, couldn’t have been more hospitable to us. The little extra touches of fresh vegetables and seafood was very considerate. I would definitely recommend this property.

A beautifully presented ultra-modern home with everything one could possibly require for a great holiday. A wonderful place to relax and enjoy the spectacular surroundings. The kitchen was of gourmet standard, the bed was really comfortable, the steam room and spa bath were an added bonus....
Tina and DA are the loveliest couple and brought the most delicious seafood and home grown vegetables to us when available.
