The Experience
There’s romance in this wild spot between loch and sea, no humps in the land to disturb the light, no people or traffic to puncture the stillness and much fun to be had without straying far: wild swimming or paddleboarding from your own stretch of white sand, hiking to St Kilda’s Viewing Point (30 minutes), fishing in the loch opposite from a rowboat, rock-pooling and foraging, bird watching or simply lying still to listen for the strange call of rare corncrakes, which fills the air on a spring night.
Return to a house that’s built for entertaining, with a huge living room and a long wooden table for companionable meals, a screen that pulls down (of course) and a hidden projector connected to a smorgasbord of online streaming. There’s also a library of over a thousand books, two wood-burning stoves and unlimited logs so if the weather is hurling itself at the windows then you can stay put happily.
You’ll find a drinks shelf with a choice of malts among other things, so pour yourself a wee dram, get comfy on the west-facing patio and watch a myriad of stars appear one by one – there’s not an ounce of light pollution up here.

We had a wonderful week in this breathtaking house. There is so much space and light and everything is beautifully curated, with so many thoughtful touches. The things that can sometimes annoy or detract were absent: the beds were big and deep, the showers were hot and powerful and the sofas were huge. We enjoyed the welcoming wine and snacks and were very restrained with the complimentary local gin. North Uist was fascinating and the beaches were wonderful. We hope to visit again soon.

Wow what a beautifully restored and decorated house. A lot of thought went into making this an amazing place. I will go back. Location perfect for walks, beaches and peace and quiet. But please don't tell anyone about this place :-).

Fantastic accommodation. The schoolhouse has everything you might want. We really enjoyed watching films on the home cinema, played the piano, used the bikes and surf boards. The nearby beaches are incredible, and there are plenty of places to walk and cycle. Just hope for reasonable weather!

Location
The neighbourhood
North Uist, a paradise for wildlife, sits between Harris and Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides. It's a landscape of peat bogs and lochans, big skies, white sand beaches and wildflowers in spring. There's a shop two miles from the house for petrol, local papers and basic food, and The Westford Inn, North Uist's only pub, is six miles away. In the summer, there's a pop-up food shack on the beach serving fresh crab. Day trips by ferry from here can take you to Barra for a spot of sea kayaking, or Harris/Lewis to see ancient standing stones. A five-minute drive will take you to a surfing beach called Hosta – fast becoming a hot spot for wave seekers.
Local points of interest from Pierson
- Find your inner twitcher! RSPB Balranald is a 15-minute walk from the house - take one of the weekly guided walks to learn all about the island’s avian life and how to best spot the elusive and endangered Corncrake - don't forget your binoculars!
- Take a water-based wildlife safari in pursuit of pods of dolphins, whales or sea eagles, visiting islands or coves only accessible by boat. Or book a once in a lifetime trip to the remote St Kilda archipelago to marvel at this double world heritage site.
- Fish for salmon and trout on one of North Uist's hundreds of lochs; take in a round of golf at South Uist’s renowned Tom Morris designed course with views across the Atlantic; visit the excellent community mill project, Uist Wool, on Grimsay.
- Beach hop the north and west of the island - Hosta, Malacleit, Clachan Sands, Berneray, (to name a few) all have pristine white-sand bays. Forage, rockpool, fly a kite, paddle board, surf, swim...find your own favourite, deserted spot.
- Visit the chambered cairn & the Uists only stone circle at Barpa Langass, both thought to be around 5000 years old. Or find the remains of Udal's ancient, remote wheelhouse that provides evidence of continuous settlement from the Neolithic period.
- Go in search of wild ponies and the ghosts of both Bonnie Prince Charlie and the SS Politician (the boat of Whisky Galore fame!) on the island of Eriskay with its picture perfect bay and one of the remotest football pitches in Europe!

Introducing
Pierson
Pierson and Aruna have worked their magic on several beautiful spaces for guests to enjoy. They both have a love of the great outdoors and dramatic wild landscapes – Aruna’s background in design has given her a great eye for colour and detail, and their houses are her canvas. They hope you enjoy staying.
Where do you start … amazing conversion of a Schoolhouse in a fantastic location. The house is so comfortable and very well equipped. The house, with its mix of vintage and new furniture feels like a home from home. The gadgets, from the projector to the sound system were great. With the best quality bedding and appliances this is definitely a high spec and very special place to stay. The welcome hamper was luxurious and the numerous guides, maps and information provided was amazing. The location - 5/10 mins between 2 beaches was fantastic. We absolutely loved it !
