"We enjoyed staying at Ardroil 7A The cottage is very well equipped with lots of interesting things to read."

For all those beach lovers out there, 7a Ardroil is the dream destination near to Uig on the Isle of Lewis.
Ideal for small families or couples on holiday together, this authentic Hebridean cottage is situated just a short stroll from the famous Ardroil beach, where the twelfth century Lewis Chessmen pieces were discovered.
The cottage itself offers visitors a warm welcome with an inviting and spacious sitting room complete with local artwork on the walls and an attractive woodburning stove, helping to set the scene for snug evenings in front of the fire enjoying quality time with friends and family.
The appealing farmhouse kitchen has all the mod cons you’d expect and is perfect for preparing tasty meals whether it’s a hearty breakfast round the table in the kitchen or something more formal in the dining room, meal times are certainly something to look forward to here.
There is also the added bonus of a wealth of gorgeous local produce available in the area to inspire even the most amateur of foodies.
After a hard day of enjoying the activities on offer on the island, where better to retreat than upstairs to one of the two pleasant and homely bedrooms which boast superb views over the dramatic coastline of Uig?
To complete the accommodation there is a family bathroom with bath and step-in shower and a useful downstairs shower room.
Outside, the cottage is surrounded by substantial gardens and there is a perfectly placed picnic bench, the ideal spot for enjoying a picnic and taking in those incredible views.
It’s all about the beaches here though with access to 24 stunning beaches along the Uig peninsula, you’ll be absolutely spoilt for choice!
If you fancy a change from the beach then there are fabulous hill walking routes in the nearby Uig Hills, birdwatching opportunities at Gallan Head and just a short but scenic drive away, are the fabled Calanais Stones and a local whisky distillery.
To truly appreciate the beauty of the Isle of Lewis, 7a Ardroil is the perfect base and promises to deliver holiday memories to treasure forever.

UIG ISLE OF LEWIS
Great Bernera 23.2. miles; Stornoway 35.9 miles; Callanish 20.5 miles.
Uig is a village resting on the edge of Uig Bay on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis and takes its name from the Norse word for ‘bay’. It is known for its rugged landscapes and attractive sand dunes. Attractions include the beautiful beaches of Valtos Peninsula and Mealista Beach plus refreshing walks along Berie and Ardroil sands, which are both rich in history (ancient hut circles have been discovered here by archaeologists and the famous Lewis Chessmen were found here) and more modern activities such as kiteboarding and windsurfing. Dining options include the impressive Uig Sands restaurant (in season) or head to the Uig Community Cafe which serves a great selection of food. There is also a distillery here at Abhainn Dearg. You can stock up on essentials at the Uig Community Shop. Just outside of the village is nearby Miavaig Pier where visitors can take boat trips to outlying islands.
