Tigh na Boireach, North Uist, Western Isles


Discover a Romantic Eco Escape at Tigh na Boireach in North Uist

For couples looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Tigh na Boireach offers a truly unique self-catering retreat in the heart of North Uist. Ideal for romantic breaks and honeymoons, this beautifully restored Grade C listed cottage blends the timeless charm of a traditional Scottish Blackhouse with the comfort and convenience of modern living.

Sustainability is at the heart of Tigh na Boireach. The owners have carefully created an eco-friendly holiday home without compromising on quality or comfort. During the summer months, much of the property's electricity is generated by discreet solar panels, while a 6kW Rolec EV charging point makes it an excellent choice for electric vehicle owners. Guests can even enjoy produce from the raised vegetable beds, with home-grown potatoes available to harvest later in the season when nature allows.

Inside, the cottage has been thoughtfully designed to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The stylish kitchen features luxurious oak worktops and elegant cream-painted units, providing everything needed for preparing meals during a relaxing stay.

The cosy living area is the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring the island. Comfortable leather seating, a realistic electric fire, a TV with DVD player, Bluetooth speaker, Wi-Fi, and a selection of books and DVDs ensure there is plenty to enjoy whatever the weather. A foldaway dining table for two makes the space ideal for romantic evenings in.

The beautifully furnished bedroom adds a touch of luxury with its stunning four-poster double bed complete with delicate organza drapes. Matching pine furniture provides ample storage, while bed linen and towels are included for added convenience.

The modern bathroom is equally well-equipped, offering a luxury shower, heated towel rail, shaver point, wall heater and quality fittings to ensure guests enjoy a comfortable stay.

Outside, Tigh na Boireach is surrounded by its own private garden, providing a peaceful setting to relax and soak up the tranquillity of the island. Off-street parking for two vehicles is available, with access via a shared driveway.

North Uist itself is a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. From the cottage, guests can explore miles of scenic walking routes suitable for all abilities, discover spectacular white sandy beaches and admire the crystal-clear waters that attract an abundance of wildlife. The Western Isles are renowned for their unspoilt landscapes, making them a wonderful destination for photographers, birdwatchers and anyone seeking peace and quiet.

As darkness falls, the island reveals another of its greatest attractions. With virtually no light pollution, North Uist offers exceptional stargazing opportunities, and during the right conditions, visitors may even be lucky enough to witness the spectacular Northern Lights dancing across the night sky.

Tigh na Boireach welcomes a maximum of two guests and is available from £650 to £800 per week. Facilities include Wi-Fi, off-street parking and an EV charging point. Please note that dogs are not permitted due to the unenclosed garden.

Whether enjoying a romantic honeymoon, celebrating a special occasion or simply escaping to one of Scotland's most beautiful islands, Tigh na Boireach provides an unforgettable stay where sustainability, comfort and natural beauty come together perfectly.
