Located on the beautiful island of North Uist which featured in the BBC programme - Monty Halls' Great Hebridean Escape, our self catering bungalow is available throughout the year.
North Uist is a stunning blend of beaches, machair land and moorland interrupted by freshwater lochs. The Island is 13 miles north to south and takes roughly around 45 minutes to travel around the whole Island.
To the west, the Monach Isles and St Kilda then next stop Canada and America. To the north, the islands of Lewis and Harris. To the south , the islands of Benbecula, South Uist, Eriskay and Barra. Finally to the east, the rugged hills and mountains of the Isle of Skye.
Parkhill is a large modern bungalow built in 1984 and is located on the main route from Lochmaddy to Benbecula and an ideal base for your holiday. The bungalow is equipped with oil fired central heating throughout
The 3 bedroom bungalow takes advantage of its elevated position to take in the view of the vast expanse of sea shore seperating North Uist from the island of Baleshare with the Monach Isles visable on a clear day, and at night the reassuring light from the Monach Isles light house can easily be seen from the kitchen window.
The accommodation comprises of the following:
Rear entrance hall containing automatic washing machine and separate tumble dryer. This leads onto the utility room which contains the chest freezer and ample storage space.
The large family kitchen is the heart of the house, where you tend to spend the majority of the day when indoors.
The kitchen contains a large dining table, electric hob and oven, microwave, fridge and television as well as numerous fitted kitchen units.
Large front entrance hall leading to the lounge and three bedrooms, one double, one twin and one single all newly refurbished with views over the moorland and lochs with Eaval in the distance.
