Taigh Violet Rose is a fantastic, historic former blackhouse that the current owner has renovated brilliantly. It’s now a lovely holiday home with all home comforts. Located on the Isle of Benbecula, which is between North and South Uist in the Outer Hebrides. The cottage itself has been fully renovated, even including a new thatch to ensure the authentic Blackhouse appearance. Open plan living is the set-up at one end of the cottage, and there is a double bedroom and bathroom at the other end. There is a garden that wraps around the property. Taigh Violet Rose is an excellent, historic property set in a truly outstanding destination. The island is accessible by ferry from mainland Scotland to either North or South Uist and then a causeway joins the islands. Alternatively, you can fly to tiny Benbecula Airport from Glasgow which is only a couple of miles from Taigh Violet Rose. Benbecula has many white sand beaches along its west, Atlantic coast. It’s an unbelievable place to go for a wander at any time of the year. In the summer the land and seascape colours will trick you to believe you’re in the Caribbean (the temperature will reassure you of your northerly location!), then in the winter, if you’re lucky on a clear night you may even be treated to a glimpse of the Northern Lights. Further afield it’s easy to visit Harris & Lewis by hopping on a ferry across the Sound of Harris from Berneray (another island linked to North Uist by causeway), and if you wanted to explore further to the south, a wee ferry links Eriskay (again another causeway linked island to South Uist) with Barra. It is advisable to book your ferry at the time of booking, as they can become fully booked. Staying at Taigh Violet Rose means you’re very central in the Outer Hebrides archipelago. You can explore a lot from this amazing location. Free WiFi It is advisable to book your ferry at the time of booking, as they can become fully booked.Directions TBC ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Dishwasher ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Towels provided ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Single level property - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Fishing ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34170000/34166400/34166372/0699bf93.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Welcome to Airidh an Dobhrain - our secluded cottage by the lochside Isle of Benbecula - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 47 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=34166372&PinnedHotelID=34166372&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31770000/31765500/31765474/w1150h767x0y0-87bb681c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### KETTLE COTTAGE - Pet friendly, cosy Hebridean Cottage on North Uist Isle of North Uist, Outer Hebrides - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 103 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=31765474&PinnedHotelID=31765474&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107450000/107449100/107449022/8ff14eae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Comfortable well located accommodation in Benbecula Balivanich - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=107449022&PinnedHotelID=107449022&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fishing](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93470000/93460200/93460112/f914f39e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1 bedroom accommodation in Lochmaddy Lochmaddy - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=93460112&PinnedHotelID=93460112&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96670000/96662200/96662173/087e128d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Gramsdale, Isle of Benbecula Gramsdale, Isle of Benbecula - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=96662173&PinnedHotelID=96662173&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109410000/109403300/109403258/d1d3d6ab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### TRANQUIL SANDS - A Pet Friendly Bungalow, walking distance to a stunning Beach Bayhead - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=109403258&PinnedHotelID=109403258&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/73000000/72290000/72282800/72282712/6835a720.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Balemore, near All Outer Hebrides Balemore, near All Outer Hebrides - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=72282712&PinnedHotelID=72282712&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120400000/120391300/120391202/w2800h3732x0y0-48ffdcc6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bunk bed room for 4 next to the sea Isle of North Uist - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=120391202&PinnedHotelID=120391202&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, DVD player, table football](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116280000/116278600/116278546/e7dc89d0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 4-bedroom bungalow with WiFi in serene Hebridean Isle of North Uist.
