Link to more photosAuberge Carnish is a new purpose-built luxury guesthouse aiming to offer a 5 star accommodation and dining experience, with a world class view, for all seasons. 

If you are going to journey to the Outer Isles you will want to stay in one of the most beautiful parts. On the west coast of the Hebridean island of Lewis, approximately 38 miles from Stornoway lies Uig, an area of outstanding natural beauty. 

The working croft on which Auberge is built tumbles down to meet the turquoise ocean joined by the peaty Red River, a stunning two mile stretch of white, shell sand and great views into the Uig hills - imagine. A perfect location. 

Select Collection - Holiday Accommodation in the Outer HebridesMaking holidays extra special in the Hebrides, this is accommodation that we have chosen for its individuality.

Richard and his wife Jo are practised in their craft. The “original” patrons of the acclaimed Bonaventure Restaurant with rooms they cultivated a reputation for great food that celebrated a Franco-Hebridean fusion - they promise to continue in the same vein with Auberge Carnish. 

The guesthouse has five luxurious, ensuite bedrooms and an intimate, licensed restaurant overlooking the bay. 

Future plans include  growing their own produce - herbs and salads in a poly-tunnel and, being crofters, Richard and Jo aim to keep their own chickens and rear lambs and pigs - all to grace the tables of their restaurant.

Suggestion

Uig is on a road described as the longest cul-de-sac in Europe.  Whether or not that’s true, the drive to the end of the road affords dramatic views of the Atlantic and an environment that has been used for various film sets.   Explore Great Bernera, on the way to Uig and find a number of interesting settlements and beaches.  Murray Macleod’s well known and highly recommended Seatrek rib-launch excursions run from nearby Meavaig. Stroll along from Auberge Carnish to visit the new distillery - Abhainn Dearg - it'll be a while yet before the whisky is ready to drink, but an interesting diversion, nevertheless.
