Stella Maris
As you step into Stella Maris its warm and cosy interiors will welcome you. Guests will love the large kitchen/diner set against the amazing backdrop of the shoreline. It will be hard to tear the chef away from the scenery outside. Enjoy local fresh fish or lobster or even forage for cockles and mussels and from right outside the door.
It will be easy to while away the time in the cosy sitting-room with its wood-burner, experience a crackling peat fire whilst drinking in the ever-changing vistas, especially at sunrise and sunset. Completing the ground floor is a large bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle plus a good size double bedroom. When evening draws in escape to one of the three first floor bedrooms or choose the ground floor one, all with fluffy goose and down duvets (hypoallergenic available on request) and wind down in style.
Sit outside in the gardens and soak up the impressive panorama over the rugged croft land beyond including the ruin of the original croft house. A variety of birds can often be seen overhead, maybe spot a sea eagle, hen harrier or resident short-eared owl. Deer may be spotted throughout the Uists and in the water look out for seals and sea otters. Children will love the wishing well and playing on the large lawn.
Stella Maris is easily accessible; you can travel by ferry from Uig on the Isle of Skye to Lochmaddy in North Uist or alternatively from Mallaig or Oban to Lochboisdale on the Isle of South Uist. Upon arrival, you will enjoy a scenic 25-minute car journey to Benbecula from either Lochmaddy or Lochboisdale. If you prefer to fly, Benbecula Airport is just a short 15-minute drive away from Stella Maris. There are car rentals available, taxis and bus services.

Mrs McKenna
I cannot recommend this property enough, we loved every minute of it, the house is so well equipped, warm and cosy and Joan who manages the property is a delight and so kind and helpful. I already want to plan a return trip. If you are looking for peace and quiet and stunning scenery this is the place, one of the few places I have ever stayed where I was heartbroken to leave! Don't be put off by the weather or the long journey, this place is totally worth it!
