Old School House

Old School House is an exceptional house on the Isle of South Uist, Eilean Siar, featuring sea views, off-road parking and an enclosed garden near the coast.

Designed for families and groups of up to ten, this spacious island home places shared time at the heart of every stay.

Begin the day in the kitchen/diner, where the gas hob, electric cooker and air fryer are ready for breakfasts before a coastal adventure.

Gather around the dining area to map out walking routes, fishing trips and afternoons on the white sands, then return to the large sitting room, where an electric fire and piano bring character to evenings together.

A separate television and games room offers another place to gather, while table tennis introduces a little friendly competition.

Books, puzzles, and board games provide plenty of choice when the weather draws everyone indoors.

Five bedrooms offer flexible arrangements for extended families and friends, comprising a super-king-size, two king-size rooms, a family room with a double and single, and a twin.

A bathroom, shower room and cloakroom serve the group, while oil-fired underfloor heating runs throughout the house.

Outside, the multi-tiered enclosed garden combines lawn and patio areas with furniture and a barbecue, creating space for children to play and everyone to dine beneath the open island sky.

Walk from the house to South Uist’s Machair coast, where Atlantic beach walks, wildflowers, and birdlife shape memorable days outdoors.

Explore Benbecula while travelling north, or browse Hebridean Jewellery and stop at its café during your island adventures.

Continue towards North Uist for further beaches, inland lochs and opportunities for walking, cycling and angling.

To the south, Eriskay provides another rewarding destination, while local boat trips can carry adventurous visitors towards the Monach Isles or the World Heritage Site of St Kilda.

Surfing, kayaking, horse riding and golf offer yet more ways to experience the Outer Hebrides from Old School House.
