The Gatliff Hostel on Berneray, nr North Uist in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland consists of 2 restored crofts right on the beach front. There is an honesty system in place, with no one there running the place, you just wander into the kitchen and say hello to your fellow guests. I enjoyed the company of a gaelic singer, accordionist, fiddler and piper and as the storm raged outside we had an impromptue traditional singsong in the kitchen. A fantastic experience!
