Cailleach-oidhche
Cailleach-
oidhche
Cailleach-Oidhche is a luxury forest lodge designed for two adults, set high among the trees with panoramic sea views. Featuring a freestanding bath, wood-burning stove and private outdoor space, it is ideal for couples seeking a peaceful and private nature escape in North Uist.
Our easily accessible roundhouse with a low access ramp to the front door. Cailleach-oidhche means ‘owl’ or literal translation ‘Night lady’! We are fortunate to have long-eared owls in the forest and hearing the ‘squeaky door’ chicks is quite an experience! You can also see short-eared owls hunting in the area during the day.
All the timber is UK sourced and the sedum roof a stonecrop and wildflower mix, creating a little wildlife habitat. All lodges are raised off the ground in the style of a treehouse, to leave the ground below untouched and to give the best opportunity to admire the unrivalled sea views along the coastline.
Both circular self-catering lodges (Cailleach-oidhche and Iolaire) are based on the prehistoric wheelhouse design of the Iron Age, the remains of which can be seen in many places throughout Uist.
