Kneep Cottage is a quirky and colourful "home from home" set a hundred metres through a wildflower field from a white sandy beach. Its location on the picturesque Valtos peninsula makes it ideal for families, couples and friends to explore a special corner of the Outer Hebrides.

In summer, guests can enjoy daylight past midnight. In winter, its the perfect spot to storm watch. A creative's paradise - longer stays can be arranged.

Owners of well behaved dogs will love it here too.
