About

The perfect escape for families, couples and lovers of the great outdoors. 5 glamping pods and a new luxury self-catering cottage are located on a traditional working croft in Mangersta, a tiny village on the Uig peninsula, edged by dramatic cliffs and sea stacks. The quiet valley opens out to Mangersta Sands, a completely breath-taking Hebridean beach, frequented by Sea Eagles, Golden Eagles, Gannets and Fulmars. 

A seafood lover's dream, Uig Sands Restaurant is a 7 min. drive and Uig Community Shop (for groceries, fuel, ATM and launderette) is a 10 min. drive. Uig Museum, Uig Community Centre Cafe, The Edge Cafe and the Raider Trailer (offering delicious take-away meals) are located in neighbouring Uig villages. Mangurstadh Studio Gallery is on site where guests can view original art, craft and landscape photography evocative of the Hebrides.
