South Uist Holiday Cottages

What our customers say about their holidays

  The property was beautifully furnished and extremely well equipped.

  We had absolutely everything we needed plus loads more! We were a little disappointed with the setting of the property as the photos had been rather cleverly set up to omit the housing estate in the background to the front. The photos made the property look as if it was on its own in a very wild location, however this was not the case. We were surrounded by houses to the front and a rather rundown and broken play park to the rear and felt very overlooked from all directions. The view to the rear of the property (beyond the play park) was stunning though and made up for the disappointment. The property provided a brilliant base from which to explore the Uists and Eriskay, and we absolutely loved the raw and rugged landscapes and beaches. Despite the disappointing location, we would consider returning to the property in the future, purely because of the ease of access to the ferry port and the comfort it provided us during our stay.

  What a treat to stay in this beautiful house!

  We’ve absolutely loved our stay here and were sorry to leave. This house has made an excellent base from which to explore these gorgeous Islands. We loved the proximity to the Ferry port and Marina. The house is immaculately clean, comfortable and well equipped, we have felt completely at home. The little extras provided were a lovely touch. The ever changing views from the cleverly designed windows were beautiful. We used the binoculars provided to watch the birds, deer, seals and fish jumping in the sea all from the comfort of the sofa. We were able to charge our electric car in the parking space provided. The walk to the hotel and pub was 3 minutes away where we enjoyed a local gin and fresh seafood. The play park and the most picturesque football pitch in Scotland was very handy for the kids to explore! We will definitely be back!

  This cottage is a gem of a find!

  Tucked away on a quiet peaceful road in South Boisdale not far from the sea within easy distance to Barra, Eriskay, Benbecula and North Uist. The outside belies the interior which is modern, stylish, spotlessly clean with views over the plain and nearby loch. It has an exceptionally well equipped kitchen and every essential required in the bathroom. Our ferry was delayed and we didn't arrive until 9pm and Rona, the owner, was there to give us a warm welcome and a hospitality basket of bread, milk, tea, coffee, shortbread, smoked salmon. There is a good selection of illustrated books which gives you an understanding of the culture and history of the island before you begin to explore. This cottage is perfect for a tranquil and relaxing break and I would most definitely recommend it.

  It’s absolutely huge so much space most bedrooms have large en suite bathrooms.

  large kitchen diner which is great for family/groups of friends and large sitting room with great views over Loch and onto mountains. Large utility room as well. Pretty much every utensil one could want. We have been a couple of times before and because such high quality shows no signs of wear and tear. Allan takes huge pride in place and making sure everything is just right - one of our party had forgotten his wellingtons and Allan very kindly managed to find a pair for him on a Sunday. Would be hard pushed to find anything as good in South Uist to match it. All very comfortable tons of hot water and lots of eco power. Also have games room in garage. Good location for exploring North and South Uist. Co op just up the road in north uist for all day to day supplies.

  We spent a very enjoyable week at Airigh nam Faidh.

  The property did not disappoint & more than lived up to our expectations. If anything, the online photographs do not do it full justice. The house is spacious, comfortable & has all that we could need from a holiday cottage in a beautiful, quiet location. Comprehensively equipped kitchen, large living areas, big bedrooms & generous bathrooms, & all spotlessly clean. Well placed to access all of the Uists we found this to be the perfect location. The owner was on hand if needed & was very friendly & helpful, & I am sure would have sorted any problems should we have had any. We didn't! 100% recommend this outstanding property for a wonderful holiday on South Uist. For sure, we will be back.
