Ideally situated for exploring the Uists and the Outer Hebrides
The Wheelhouse is a newly built (2023) self-catering cabin on our working family croft on the island of Grimsay.
Outside you’ll find sea or a beach (depending on the tide), pools to dip into for that bracing swim and a place to sit and enjoy both. There’s also an outside shower to wash sandy toes.
There are hills to contemplate or climb, lochs and moorland to explore, all on the doorstep of The Wheelhouse. Birds abound, all shapes and sizes.
We’ll be delighted to help you practise your Gaelic and to assist you in any way to make your stay in the Outer Hebrides the best it can be, whether you are looking for a comfortable night or two whilst exploring the Hebridean Way on bike or foot - or if you would like to really explore the Uists from a central base over a week.

As we’re a working croft with sheep we have 2 working collies and therefore regret we’re unable to take pets in The Wheelhouse.
You can be as busy or as relaxed as you want to be in the Islands – it’s a secure, calm and wonderful place, so come and see us, we’d be delighted to welcome you to The Wheelhouse!

The Wheelhouse is called after the remains of the wheelhouse on our croft, dating from the Iron Age. It’s been designed by ourselves and built by a local builder, who also had a few ideas himself!
