Monkstadt Steadings is a wonderful place to visit, so much so that we try to holiday there at least once per year. This was our first time in Betty's Lookout and it has now become my favourite. We love the wild beauty of the stunning view out to sea and the amazing sunsets.

Tips for other travellers
The Steadings is a little outside Uig which is the nearest small town so make sure that you buy provisions for your stay in the Co-Op supermarket and other little shops in Portree or bring your own provisions up with you. There are tea and coffee sachets provided in the cottages plus washing up facilities and toilet rolls.

Our stay at Monkstadt was nothing short of exceptional. We spent four days there over our wedding, and it truly could not have been a more perfect setting. The location is breathtaking - offering both stunning views and a sense of privacy that made the entire experience feel incredibly special. The team was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind throughout our stay. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, James, who was fascinating to speak with and gracious enough to show us through the expansion. That personal touch added so much to the experience. A special mention to Willow, the best welcoming committee you could ask for - such a sweet and memorable part of our time there. Dining at the restaurant was a highlight in itself. We were absolutely blown away by the meal. Having dined at Michelin-starred restaurants, we can confidently say this ranks among our top five dining experiences - an incredible achievement. Our cottage was perfect - beautifully appointed and equipped with everything we needed, making it feel like a true home away from home. We are already looking forward to returning for our anniversary next year. Monkstadt holds a very special place in our hearts.
