Holiday Cottage: 5205 Western Isles

House from near road

Eriskay
Cottage's own web site
Set on our working croft on the Hebridean island of Eriskay, Carrick offers all the comforts and conveniences for a short break or an extended holiday at any time of year - whether it's the great outdoors you're here for, for a family gathering, or just to unwind with a good book and a real fire. The house is ideal for a family of up to five, or one or two couples

The house is a fusion of island tradition and the latest in sustainable design. Whilst reflecting the scale, proportions and simplicity of the older island croft houses, Carrick is no dull recreation of a mythical yesteryear. The house has a contemporary feel both in terms of aesthetics and practical living; it is light, airy and spacious, and it incorporates numerous elements of sustainable design - some innovative.

But above all with its panoramic views across the Sound of Eriskay, set on our traditional Hebridean croft Carrick is quite simply a wonderful place to live - if only for a week or two!
