January is therefore the ideal time to think about what we really want from life and whether we should escape the rat race.

If you'd like to escape to a slower pace of life then being the new owner of Tigh Na Sith may be the answer.

The property is situated across a sheltered lagoon on the islet of Great Bernera, on the Isle of Lewis, which is one UK’s most unspoilt areas.

Tigh Na Sith, translated from Gaelic as House of peace, is a three-bedroom house which is accessible only on foot across a small bridge.

As an added aid to total tranquillity, the house has its very own relaxation suite complete with indoor pool and sauna.

The stand-alone property was built in 1910 and has been carefully extended by the current owners to provide very comfortable, contemporary accommodation including refurbished kitchen and bathroom.

The property is surrounded by very pretty garden grounds and there is access to a large deck on the first floor with panoramic views of the Atlantic.

The tiny island of Great Bernera is only accessible on foot after you have left your car (and all your worries) behind.

Nicky Archibald, regional sales consultant for Galbraith, said: “The Isle of Lewis, with its stunning beaches and rugged landscapes, continues to be a very popular visitor destination throughout the year.

"Tigh Na Sith is ideal for those seeking a more relaxed pace of life and could be used as a holiday cottage or main residence. Lewis is an excellent location from which to explore the Western Isles or further afield.

"The location of the property is truly idyllic and will give the owner a feeling of being a million miles from all the stresses and strains of modern life. But the island’s airport has regular flights to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Inverness, plus Stornoway offers all the amenities of a much larger city.”

The property boasts panoramic sea views and is close to sandy beaches meaning it could be an ideal holiday cottage.

The location is also perfect for bird-watching, water-sports, walking, mountain biking and spotting eagles, deer and otters.

Tigh Na Sith is on the market with Galbraith for offers over £250,000
