  Fabulous property.

  Very comfortable for 2 and a dog with plenty of space for a large dog crate. Sauna was an added treat. Kitchen was easily usable with hot plate and combi microwave oven which suited us well. Very comfortable bed and amazing views to wake up to each morning. Wi-Fi enabled us to use internet, play music and watch movies as desired. Excellent location, just 20min drive from Lochmaddy and we explored from Vatersay to Berneray with ease in our week long stay. Owners were super helpful when looking for help booking a day trip down to Barra when the ferry didn’t seem bookable. Those instagram photos aren’t lying, it’s a genuinely beautiful part of Scotland to visit and unbelievably quiet on all of the stunning beaches. We saw more owls (8) in one week than I have done my whole life in their natural environment, dolphins on our ferry trip over from Uig, Skye, a white tailed eagle and a stunning large deer right by the roadside. No luck for us with otters but we certainly found a lot of evidence of them. I’m sure others would have more luck. Bring your binoculars and look out for the May-Sept RSPB walks e.g. Wednesdays otter walks from Langass Lodge, Thursdays Eagle walk, Mondays….. we didn’t find out about these until it was too late, so do research these ahead of your trip if you can. Don’t hesitate to book the North Light Studio, we’ve already been recommending it so much people are fed up hearing about it!

  We had an enjoyable holiday in a lovely area.

  The house was fine and almost everything was pretty much as described. The back rings on the cooker didn't light reliably, which was a nuisance since there was a toddler in the house and we'd rather have used the back rings. It was a surprise to find that the heating was operating on a fixed cycle. I understand the reason but if it had been any warmer outside, it would have become uncomfortably hot. The biggest complaint I would make is that the location shown on the map is very misleading. When I booked the house I believed it was in the settlement very close to the beaches. It is in fact much further away, just off the main road and about a 20 minute walk. While I accept that the verbal description makes no claim about being very close to the beach, and I recognise that Google Maps shows the postcode as being in the settlement, I think it is wrong to show a map location that is completely inaccurate. What Three Words location: refreshed.nickname.releasing is where the house actually is.

  Extremely disappointed!

  House very run down & hugely overpriced. Every room needs fresh decor, bedding mismatched, faded & bobbling. Hot water temperamental regularly going cold mid shower. Shower head fell from ceiling during our stay. We booked this property because I’m on waiting list for a hip replacement but we had no shower downstairs for 2nd week & the toilet seat was loose. Gas leak in kitchen - pipe had to be replaced by engineer during our stay. Kitchen table/chairs unsteady. One chair collapsed beneath my son. Broken step at back door. Roof guttering down & lying in garden. No drawers in twin room, broken drawers in double room. Spice rack in kitchen dates back to 2011 - average Use by date for spices is 2014. No cupboard space in kitchen. Wine glasses full of dust. Dog hair everywhere including cutlery drawer & upstairs. Metal electricity point in kitchen does not comply with today’s regs. No PAT testing. I have taken photographs of all points mentioned.

  The property was exactly as listed.

  It was in an ideal location for us, right on the loch. Be aware there is no access to the loch from the property. There are a lot of good aspects to the cabin but nothing to add to what is in the description, therefore, I will focus on aspects that might be useful for future guests: It is a very warm building with few options to ventilate, especially when the midges are around. Cooking was simple with the hob and multi-purpose oven. The cabin is comfortable but not particularly relaxing. The 2 single sofa bed chairs are okay but not ideal for lounging on and although the bed is very comfortable, the thought of climbing down the ladder in the middle of the night for the toilet meant I didn't sleep as well as I could have done. I recommend taking binoculars to check-out the wildlife on and over the loch. Overall, a comfortable place to stay with everything you need

  A peaceful and tranquil setting, thanks to Mhairi and Steven who are friendly owners.

  The temperature in the lodge especially the sleeping quarters is way too warm, despite it being only 12 degrees outside. It needs proper ventilation installed, or a small velux in the roof space. Unfortunately we came back more tired than when we arrived. There are other reviews online that mention the heat problem so we know this is not a one-off opinion and hope that this can be properly addressed The chairs in the main lounge are uncomfortable and this added to our overall feeling of discomfort with no-where really to turn to relax properly. I did try to alternate between sleeping on the chairs due to it being too hot in the mezzanine, unfortunately that didn't work either. A broom would have been handy to sweep out the grasses and bits brought in by a dog.
