What our customers say about their holidays

  On my first entry into the house I banged my head on a low hung stone which keeps the thatch in place.

  I reckon it could be hung on the netting a few inches higher. The hot tap of the sink in the bathroom turns the wrong way for a Brit! Consequently the tap fitting has become loose and the nut underneath just needs to be tightened. The cooker hood didn't work but this was not an issue really, neither was the fact that the remote for the TV didn't work. We didn't go on holiday to watch TV but kept the program on a News channel alone. There was also a Radio which was good The most important thing is that the house is in a lovely situation, surrounded by a great variety of bird life including a short eared owl and a barn owl, and, of course it is close to a beach suitable for the hardy to swim from. Our stay was so enjoyable we regret not booking for longer. The house is very comfortable and well appointed. There is a lot one can do within walking distance of the front door!

  Wonderfully comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting.

  So much had been thought about to enhance our stay and make it feel special. Cake on arrival with tea, coffee, milk and eggs along with lovely thoughtful toiletries. Treats for the dogs along with a special area for them to toilet and play just beside the back door. So many places to walk to enjoy the beautiful area of Canonbie and Langholm (a few minutes drive away). The Cross Keys pub a 1k walk from the front door provided a warm welcome for us and our dogs along with good pub grub - really friendly staff and locals. First Bite cafe in Langholm provided the most wonderful breakfast and cakes and well worth a visit. Host was friendly and informative and even though they live in the adjoining house we barely knew they were there. Thank you for our stay we would certainly love to stay again in the future. Thank you Rachel, Laurie, Roxy and Betty

  A real gem of a place.

  The cottage is beautiful and well equipped in a real home from home way. It’s surprisingly bigger than expected, very comfortable and a pleasure to come ‘home’ following a day of island hopping. When we arrived, there was warmth and light and the small thoughtful touches provided a ‘wow’ moment. The lovely owner, Neil left a generous welcome package, which was much appreciated. The cottage is located in an ideal place to tour the Uist. It’s is surrounded by machair and a short walk to white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. Getting about is easily accessible by car. Everyone on the island is friendly. We couldn’t be happier with the cottage and Neil as a host. We intend to return and would highly recommend.

  This is a cottage that has everything that you could possibly need for a perfect break in this lovely area.

  It was scrupulously clean and comfortable and the furnishings and equipment are of a high standard. It was a luxury to have both king-sized bedrooms with their own en-suite showers and toilets. The very large enclosed garden for the exclusive use of the cottage guests is extremely secure and is a lovely place to relax if the weather allows. Graham and Helen are friendly and welcoming but not intrusive in any way although they were on hand if needed. Both ourselves and our 2 dogs have had an excellent week in spite of some inclement weather. Returning to the cottage after some very satisfying walks always felt like coming "home."

  Very comfortable cottage, very quit place.

  Beautifully decorated, gave us a very homely feeling. Did some island hopping, Eriskay, Barra and Vatersay on a good weather day. The weather, well, what whould you expect in november. But we knew that and so we explored a lot eastwards and were surprised by all the beautiful views. We haven't done much on beaches, because on the island where we live (Texel, NL) we have a 28 km. long stretch of amazing white soft sand beach. The islands were very interesting for us, especially when you find out some of their history. And Smiddy cottage provided an excellent place to come back to!
