Whitehouse is a traditional farmhouse situated at the Western end of Balephetrish Bay. It is on fields next to a rocky point, with views across the sea to the Outer Hebrides, Skye, Rhum, Eigg and East to the mainland. The picture below is taken from the middle of Balephetrish Bay looking to the North West. Whitehouse is in the centre of the picture.

The house sleeps 6/9. There are 3 double/twin bedrooms; any of these can be set up with up to 4 beds. Lounge 2 can operate as a dedicated 4th double bedroom; this would still leave a large lounge and dining studio as living space.
Upstairs there are 2 large twin/double bedrooms each with plenty of cupboard and drawer space. Beds new in 2005
Main bedroom
The main bedroom has 3 windows with views to SE, NE and NW. Two single divans are pushed together with a super king size mattress pad to make a luxurious double bed. (You can separate the beds to convert to a twin room if you prefer.) The duvets are large singles. There is a large bedspread to cover the duvets.
