The stunning Scots beach cottage named one of best UK seaside destinations

A picturesque beachfront house in Scotland has been named as one of the 10 best seaside holiday homes in the UK.

Beach Bay Cottage on the Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, was recognised by the Guardian for its stunning views, great location and romantic features that are perfect for any couple who want to take a trip.

It's located just 100 yards from the beach, sitting atop Uig Bay - a National Scenic Area, and one of the most popular beaches in the country thanks to its luxurious white sands.

The Guardian stated: "Watch the changing light and tides from the huge bay window in the living area or spot local wildlife, including deer, eagles and seals. Binoculars provided. Warm up in the sauna or by the wood burner after bracing sea walks."

Made of stone and turf-roofed, the cottage has an authentic feel but with plenty of modern features such as a jacuzzi and a two-person sauna.

And although the location is secluded, there are many nearby activities to take part in whilst staying there - such as hillwalking, golf, boat trips and sea kayaking.

The cottage sleeps four people, with one double bedroom and one twin bedroom, so is ideal for families or just a romantic getaway with a loved one.
