Once we arrived I felt a bit like Goldilocks but in terms of the views from each window...each view was different and perfect, and so evocative of the Uist landscape.Great communication from the host before arrival and during our stay - especially helpful in terms of the recent storm. Comfy beds, homely atmosphere, well equipped kitchen.We hope to return :)

We loved the cottages the most amazing location right on Loch Altabruig,with fabulous views from every window,a wonderfully comfortable lounge,plus a very comfortable bedOne of the highlight for me was the range off books providing so much information about the Outer Hebrides,particularly the historical photographs of the islands including St KildaWe ad everything needed to self cater,which is very important,bearing in mind the location
