Three bedroom cottage with spectacular views to Uig Sands on the Isle of Lewis.
3 Carnish is a charming detached cottage, occupying a commanding position with uninterrupted views across the pristine white sands of Ardroil Beach and the dramatic expanse of Uig Sands. Believed to date from the early 20th century, the property combines traditional character with well-proportioned accommodation arranged over one and a half storeys, all set within private gardens.
Currently operating as a highly successful holiday let, 3 Carnish has been recognised with the Cottages.com Customer's Choice Award in 2023, 2024 and 2025, attesting to its reputation as a sought-after destination in the Outer Hebrides.
The accommodation begins with a practical entrance porch, perfect for boots and jackets. The welcoming sitting room forms the heart of the home, with a charming feature fireplace and beautiful views of the coastline. The characterful dining kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, featuring a range of low and wall mounted cabinetry, leading to the back door and access outside. Located off the sitting room is a main bathroom and a separate shower room with second WC.
The property provides three spacious double bedrooms: one on the ground floor and two further double bedrooms on the first floor, all with picture windows framing spectacular coastal vistas. Additional storage is thoughtfully provided with an under-stair cupboard and further space on the first floor, completing the accommodation.
Externally the gardens are mainly laid to lawn and sheltered by a traditional stone wall, interspersed with mature shrubs.
Note:
The seller has advised that a one-bedroom property is proposed for construction on the plot directly opposite, to the front of 3 Carnish. Based on the proposed plans, the new property is not expected to be within the direct line of sight from the house and is not anticipated to affect views toward the sands. For further details, please contact the selling agent.

Lewis is celebrated for its breathtaking beaches, dramatic landscapes, and striking coastline but 3 Carnish offers something truly rare: the opportunity to own a front-row seat to it all. The first time I visited, I was captivated by the vivid turquoise waters, the endless sweep of white sand at Ardroil Beach, and the vast, open horizon of Uig Sands. It's no wonder guests fall in love with it time and again.
