About this cottage rental
Welcome to Culla Cottage.
Located in the township of Aird, just yards from a beautiful beach, Culla Cottage is the last remaining traditional cottage found on the West coast of Benbecula, one time serving as the local Post Office. Culla Cottage is central to the neighbouring islands and only two minutes’ drive from the local supermarket, P.O, & bank, the cottage also boasts a fantastic restaurant and Chinese takeaway nearby.
The area is a designated SSSI (site of special scientific interest). It lies on a working croft where traditional crofting practices include using seaweed to fertilise the ground, spring cultivation and sowing, late harvesting and rotational cropping where the ground is left fallow for two to three years between crop growing seasons. These methods enable breading birds and insects such as the corncrake, lapwing and the great yellow bumble bee to thrive amongst the wildflowers.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2020
Culla cottage is an excellent base for exploring the Hebrides, very close to an outstanding beach and not too far from local shops too. It is very comfortable and cosy and had everything we needed including a wood / peat burner. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone. Made all the more special to hear about the renovation from Donald the owner and how the Black House has brought it back to life and made it into a very comfortable place to stay. This place is very special and brings a bit of the old world feel back, but with the modern twist inside. Perfect base for exploring all of the islands of the Outer Hebrides.
