 Personally
run by the friendly owner,
Heather Morrison, Bonnieview is a working croft (farm) with a separate
guest wing. On the edge of a small village, the property stands back
from the road that links the island chain and you should expect a
peaceful night's sleep in your comfortable bedroom.
In the dining room, you may be lucky enough
to enjoy home grown pork sausages for breakfast.
In paddocks alongside the property, the
Morrisons rear turkeys and their friendly stag isa firm favourite with
children at the primary school next door. He's friendly and
intelligent, coming to call like a pet dog!
Heather supplied turkeys and young Gloucester Old
Spot pigs to Monty Hall. for his Great Hebridean Adventure - the
programmes are repeated for a short time after screening on bbc.co.uk/iplayer/bbc_two.
Bonnieview is centrally situated
for any of North Uist's attractions, with Benbecula's airport,
a few shops and the ferry terminals of Lochboisdale
and Berneray also within easy reach.
For your evening meal, it's a short drive to
Langass Lodge, where bar restaurant meals are served (reservation
suggested). Other restaurants are in Lochmaddy or Benbecula (both about
15 minutes drive).
If you're planning a picnic lunch, the Hebridean Smokehouse is a short
distance north of Bonnieview, en route to beaches and the the
Balranald RSPB reserve. They are well known for their peat
smoked salmon, sea trout, scallops and home-made Hebridean
oatcakes.
