The Wheelhouse is newly built (2023) and is a delightful
cabin on a working croft on the island of Grimsay, between North Uist and Benbecula, Outer Hebrides.
The Wheelhouse offers a haven for couples, complete with a stylish, open-plan living space, and a tranquil outdoor space. Park up and take in the sweeping vistas surrounding your new abode.
Head indoors to be met by the living space, complete with a compact yet well-equipped kitchenette, a dedicated dining area, and a sitting area, where you can relax after a day of hiking. If the sun is shining, set the outdoor furniture and relish in an alfresco affair, lighting the fire pit as the night grows darker. A plush king-size bed is on offer, along with a sleek shower room with complimentary Ishga toiletries, where you can rest and refresh ahead of your Scottish itinerary.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love the vast opportunities for walking and exploring in the area, with Tidal Beach nearby, walk across the Machair to a great spot for swimming, or travelling further to the sandy terrain of Baleshare Beach. There are hills to climb, lochs and mountains to explore all from the doorstep. Enjoy also the variety of bird life that can be easily spotted.
Along with picture-perfect scenery, the tidal island of Grimsay is known for its seafood, available at either Kallin Shellfish on the pier at Kallin or the café at the Grimsay Centre ; be sure to indulge in some of the freshest around! Travelling across the North Ford Causeway, enjoy stunning, coastal views from this elevated position, before reaching Isle of Benbecula.
By car, tour the Isle, stopping off at Balivanich where you’ll find a hub of amenities to ease your self-catered stay, including supermarkets and the Benbecula Golf Club is nearby for golfing fans.
