Muileann Dubh is set in a peaceful location on the Island of Benbecula enjoying rural views.

Benbecula sits between North and South Uist and has white shell-sand beaches to the west and heather uplands to the east. The machair that runs alongside the sand dunes provide a marvellous habitat for the rare Corncrake. Golden Eagles, Red Grouse and Red Deer can be seen on the mountain slopes to the east.

Lochmaddy is the main settlement of North Uist, served by ferry to Uist on the Isle of Skye.

Benbecula can be reached by ferry from Uig on Skye to Lochmaddy or from Oban and Mallaig to Lochboisdale in South Uist and by the smaller ferry which weaves its way through the small islets of the Sound of Harris between Leverburgh on Harris to Berneray, connected by (non-tidal all-weather) causeways to Benbecula and also by Air from Glasgow.

Balivanich is convenient for all local amenities including supermarkets, shops, garage, post office, primary school and restaurant. The secondary school is approximately ten minutes’ drive from the property.
