About this property

Beachfront holiday house in Valtos, Uig with stunning views.

Spacious holiday house with stunning views on the beautiful Valtos Peninsula. Sleeps 8 in 4 bedrooms. Fully equipped kitchen, cosy sitting room with wood-burning stove, 2 bathrooms, conservatory. 1 minute walk to beach and pier, with many other beautiful beaches within easy reach. Family and pet friendly, the house is perfect for bird watchers, nature lovers, beachcombers, sandcastle builders, kayakers and hardy swimmers!

Liona-Tuim is a much loved holiday home that has been in our family for over 40 years. Sitting just above the beach in the village of Valtos, the house provides the perfect base for exploring the beautiful area of Uig with its huge white sandy beaches, imposing mountains, and varied wildlife, as well as for further adventures such as boat trips to the islands or visits to the Standing Stones at Callanish, the Iron Age broch at Carloway or the Black House village at Gearrannan.

The house is comfortable and well equipped. Downstairs there is a cosy kitchen heated by an Everhot stove with an induction hob and additional microwave, and including a fridge, dishwasher and bread maker.

The sitting room has a wood burning stove, TV and DVD player together with a selection of games, puzzles and books for relaxing after a hard day's exploration.

The downstairs bedroom has bunkbeds. Free wifi is provided but we recommend you use it for checking the weather forecast rather than catching up with work!

A conservatory which catches the evening sun, perfect for a cup of tea or something stronger while you read a book or play a game.

A downstairs shower room allows for post-beach clean ups, and a bright and spacious studio is perfect for playing games. The workshop has room for boots and coats and houses the washing machines, tumble dryer and freezer.

Upstairs there are three comfortable bedrooms (2 doubles, 1 twin) and a bathroom including a bath and power shower. Please note linen and towels are not provided.

2 well-behaved dogs allowed (NB We ask that dogs be kept in the studio or conservatory. Dogs are not allowed upstairs).

The house is approximately 5 miles from the well-stocked local community shop, which includes a post-office and petrol station. The town of Stornoway is a 45 minute drive away, and from here supermarket deliveries can be arranged.

Wonderful house and location

Lovely comfortable house with everything you need. Fantastic location right on the beach. Remote but just a short drive to a shop with everything you need. Just heaven. Dogs not allowed in the main house so be aware they need to stay in the conservatory/dining room extension. Kate is a brilliant host and was very helpful rearranging our trip several times during covid! Highly recommend.

Peaceful, lovely, welcoming

This is a homely warm and welcoming House - we love staying here - there is plenty of space and the best equipped kitchen with a beautiful view over the bay - you could sit watching gannets lunging all day! Serenaded in the morning by a blackbird with a corncrake accompaniment - brilliant. Lots to do and explore.

Lovely homely property with fabulous beach

The only negative was not being informed on the restriction of dogs staying at the property until full amount of money paid. This should be made clear on the website as it could have an impact of choice of renting the property and prevent any ambiguity

About the host

Hosted by Kate Pettifer

Why they chose this property

Our parents bought Liona-Tuim when we were tiny children and all our childhood summers were spent in the house, playing on Valtos beach, sailing and kayaking around islands and catching fish for supper. After retirement our parents moved to the island full time, and spent 15 years living in Valtos and making Liona-Tuim the comfortable family home it has become. Over the years we have brought our own children to Liona-Tuim every summer and watched them discovering the magic of a holiday in the Scottish islands, as we did ourselves all those years ago! When our parents moved back to the mainland at the end of last year we became the proud new owners of Liona-Tuim, and are looking forward to many more years of adventures in Valtos.
