The Cottage

Barra Woodview is a four-bedroom holiday home sleeping up to eight, with a sitting room that faces west so you can watch the sun set over the Minch without getting up from the sofa. The kitchen is properly equipped — not a “one pan and a can opener” situation — and the wood-burning stove draws beautifully, which matters more than you’d think in October.

Sleeping eight across four bedrooms

There’s a comfortable double, a triple room, a single, and a bright corner suite, so families and groups can spread out. Beds are made up with fresh linen for your arrival, and there’s a travel cot and highchair available on request for little ones.

Everything you need for a self-catering stay

Fast broadband if you absolutely must, a decent stack of books and board games if you’ve come to your senses, and off-road parking for two cars. We provide all linen, towels and firewood, so you can travel light.

Pet-friendly, with room to roam

Best of all, Barra Woodview is dog-friendly. The rewilded park below the house is fully fenced — a great spot to let the dog stretch its legs before a walk down to the shore.
