Self-Catering: The Smiddy at Burnside Croft

The Smiddy is a 5-star luxury retreat on the beautiful island of Berneray in the Outer Hebrides. We are situated on the very edge of Berneray's renowned machair, which is flower and nature-lover's paradise, especially in the summer months.

The Smiddy has been recently developed to provide extremely comfortable accommodation for two people.

Comfort, warmth and green issues are at the heart of the Smiddy's renovation, and our aim is to provide you with an unforgettable Hebridean experience.

The accommodation comprises an open-plan living/kitchen/dining area with a large window affording uninterrupted, panoramic views of the machair and sunsets beyond. A gas-fired stove and underfloor heating will keep you warm during your stay, and a music system and television are provided for indoor entertainment. The bedroom area is furnished with two beds which can also form a large double, as required, and a contemporary Whirlpool bath. The kitchen is fully equipped with electric oven, microwave and fridge.

The Smiddy also contains a wet room and utility area with washer/dryer and dishwasher. For those wishing to keep in touch with the outside world, there is a small, separate office with computer, printer/scanner and phone.

The accommodation is all on one level with category 2 (assisted) wheelchair access throughout.
