The Experience
Golden eagles soar above this contemporary, larch-clad house, while Highland cattle graze on croft land. This is a place for families and friends to retreat and find peace spotting otters and deer by day, and stargazing through the telescope by night. You’re left a starter pack of logs to get the wood-burner blazing, as well as wine and smoked salmon for a welcome apéritif.
Downstairs, sink into deep sofas and browse well-stocked bookcases; the open-plan kitchen and dining room beyond is bright and sociable. Step through French windows to a terrace with outdoor furniture and a barbecue. A pair of twin rooms and a double, all simply furnished with crisp white bed linen, can be found on the same floor. There’s another king-sized double room up the wooden staircase. Tiled bathrooms are stylish and a couple have luxurious walk-in showers.
It’s an eight-minute walk to a beach for paddle boarding or swimming and a three-mile drive to more.

We have had fantastic times at the Old Mission House and 2024 was no exception. As soon as we arrive in Breanish the stress falls away and the house provides the perfect accommodation. A stunning house and setting.

We have had the privilege of coming to Old Mission House for several years now and keep coming back! The house is a perfect escape for a relaxing holiday and the location never disappoints. The accommodation is modern clean and cosy with a well-appointed kitchen with everything you need. The bedrooms are very comfortable with clean crisp white linen which always affords you a good nights sleep. There is also a wood burning fire to cosy up to or a decked area where you can enjoy a bbq weather permitting! A wonderful house in this unique part of the Western Isles!

We had a truly wonderful week staying in this exceptional house. Beautifully & thoughtfully designed, it lacks for nothing. 4 bedrooms 3 bathrooms, loved the crisp white linens & tartan blankets. Tastefully decorated, everything very useable, many cooking essentials, CDs & games to play. Clearly well loved by the family who own it. There’s a telescope, table tennis, boogie boards & a delightful mini mission house. Try a Harris Gin by the wood burning stove watching the sunset after exploring. A stunning coastline with gorgeous views, every turn offers another beautiful bay. Hebridean Heaven.

Location
The neighbourhood
It's a remote spot – Stornoway, where the ferry comes and goes, is just under 40 miles but on the way you pass Uig Community Shop (eight miles) which has everything you could want. There's a community centre too which sometimes has activities and a nice café serving soup, toasties etc. You'll also find the Uig Sands restaurant with a tasting menu for a special occasion and their own smokery.
Local points of interest from Jackie MacKay
- Only 20 minutes walk to beautiful white sandy beaches and cliff walks . Roll out of bed and climb Mealashal, the highest mountain on Lewis, to enjoy spectacular views out to St Kilda and down to Uist.
- Stock up at the award winning Uig Community Shop (with 24 hour petrol/diesel pump) or dine in at the wonderful Uig Sands restaurant 20 minutes drive away and enjoy a menu of delicious local produce and seafood as you watch the sunset over Uig Bay.
- For the energetic this is cycling heaven! Miles of empty single track roads, with enticing refreshments at Uig Community Centre tearoom (summer only) or The Edge Cafe at Aird Uig providing a suitable reward for your efforts.
- Visit the Callanish Standing Stones, the most complete historical stone circle in Europe . Unlike Stonehenge wander freely amongst these magnificent stones. Continue up the west coast to Carloway broch, Shawbost Harris Tweed mill and Arnol Blackhouse
- After a day out in the hills, select a book from the bookcase, curl up on inviting sofas and relax in the warmth of the woodburning stove.
- Try a boat trip from Miavaig harbour with Seatrek - surf and paddle board lessons with Surf Lewis - canoe and kayak rental from Grey Goose Kayaks - wild swimming sessions with Immerse Hebrides - beachside sauna with Saltbox Sauna

The children and I have really enjoyed coming up to such a beautiful island with stunning scenery. We really appreciate the space and generous maintenance of the old mission house: the super comfortable beds and bathrooms, the large sofas and the kitchen equipment in plentiful supply. There is also the sense that should we need help it is available. It is also nice not to have a television. It may be far to get to, but I would recommend the place to anyone!
