A bed and breakfast in the Western Isles with beach access and panoramic sea views has hit the market for £849,000.
Broad Bay House is seven miles north of Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis and was purpose-built to welcome guests looking for peace and tranquillity.
It is the only B&B in the Western Isles rated 5-star Gold by Visit Scotland.
Built in 2007, Broad Bay House has four bedrooms and owner’s accommodation.
On entry, there is a small utility room to the left for guest use with washing and drying facilities.
There is also a small guest study with bookshelves, a DVD collection, and a welcoming reception area.
Down the hallway are four ensuite bedrooms and an additional guest toilet.
The large guest lounge/dining area has a vaulted ceiling and windows on three sides, allowing picturesque views of the coast and out to sea.
Broad Bay House also holds an alcohol license, offering a range of wine, gin, whisky and cocktails from the guest bar.
Due to the large windows, the room benefits from the natural light and a solid fuel stove creates a cosy ambience during the evenings.
The newly fitted kitchen has a range of appliances, a six-ring hob, a fitted double oven and four fridges and freezers.

B&B grounds and setting
Broad Bay House sits on a half-acre of land on the east coast of Lewis.
The tarmac driveway accommodates seven vehicles with ramp access to the main building.
To the rear is the deck area, perfect for a summer evening drink.
At the bottom of the garden is a gate with access to Gress Beach, with its luminous white sand and turquoise blue water.
Visitors came head down early to watch the spectacular sunrise over the horizon.
The B&B has two garages for owner vehicles and the site has the potential to install pods.
