What our customers say about their holidays

  August 2024.

  Gualan Sands is an excellent self-catering property. The quality of the house and all the amenities are exceptional and practical for families and pets. The location offers access to many islands but also remains private. We enjoyed walks from the door over the sands to the beach (low tide only - do be mindful of this) as well as relaxing and enjoying the views from the house. We visited North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Eriskay. Sollas Beach was a favourite but there are many more on the islands. If you enjoy bird watching bring your binoculars, many can be spotted without leaving the house. We had a short-eared owl visit daily. If you wish to travel to other islands book your ferries in advance. Flying from Benbecula to Glasgow is straightforward and Lochmaddy port is more practical than Lochboisdale. Fiona was extremely kind and helpful throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this property, you won't be disappointed and we hope to return.

  Caenn a Loch cottage is without doubt one of the best cottages we have ever stayed at.

  From entering the cottage you are immediately wrapped up in the warmth and the very high standards throughout. You are drawn to the 2 welcome hampers (one being in the fridge) and then are amazed at the quality throughout. The cottage has underfloor heating (which we were grateful for) as well as being superbly stocked with everything you might need. The ice machine was a bonus for our Gs and Ts! The beds are very comfortable and all the bathrooms furnished to a very high standard. The owner Julie, is very attentive as responds immediately to any queries you may have. The views are stunning and although the weather was inclement during our stay just watching the changing colours on the landscape from the comfort of the lounge made it much more bearable. I guarantee that if you stay here you will not be sorry!!

  Fantastic cottage with amazing views over to Eriskay and the adjacent islands.

  We loved just sitting in the lounge looking out of the picture windows at the views that were constantly changing with the different lighting and saw short eared owls and golden eagles flying nearby as well as being visited by the local wild white horses. We stayed as two couples and all agreed that both the cottage and the views were the best we’d ever stayed in. The cottage is well laid out, very comfortable and well equipped and is just as good if not better than the photos on the website. Easy access to the Politician pub over In Eriskay, along with the well stocked local shop there and the nearby co-op in Daliburgh. Breakfasts at the Kilbride cafe were also great and lots of lovely walks and beaches close by made for an excellent holiday.

  What an extremely well-thought-out house.

  Every bit of detail has been well considered. For example, the more than generous welcome basket, temperature control of each room, super king beds, super-soft bedding, open-plan kitchen diner and bean to cup coffee maker. What a wonderful view of the loch through front windows and waking up to the dawn chorus of cuckoo, arctic tern or oyster catcher! The surrounding hills produced exceptional views of white-tailed and golden eagle. We would highly recommend staying here at any time of year. Although we stayed in late May and the weather was warm, it is easy to imagine how cosy this property will be with the wood burner in much colder weather. Thank you to the owners. Everything was much appreciated.

  Ceann an Loch provides an exceptional experience and we could not have asked for more.

  It is a superbly equipped, luxury property, in a stunning location with the most generous host we have ever encountered. We simply could not have asked for a more idyllic place in which to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary and it was a real struggle to leave at the end of the week. We cannot recommend Ceann an Loch more highly as an outstanding base for exploring the wonderful range of sights, sounds and foodie delights Lewis and Harris affords, or for just enjoying the views and the many species of birds, and fish jumping, from the comfort of the rooms and garden. This was certainly a haven to which we shall return and we are most grateful to Julie for her kindnesses.
