The accommodation was perfect for the two of us and our Labrador. The conservatory was a real bonus and excellent for wildlife spotting out over the loch. The enclosed garden was great for pet owners. The cottage was clean and comfortable and the hosts who live in the adjacent house were very friendly and there for any help if required.

We found the peace and quiet we were looking for. The house could be just a bit better prepared for cold weather situations.

Martin & family were great hosts & always around when needed. The place was very clean & tidy, had everything we needed. Amazing views & we were also very lucky to have brilliant weather during our stay. We ate at The Uig Hotel which was fab (pre booking recommended during the summer). If you would like to eat at The Ferry Inn check their website a few weeks in advance because it gets booked up quickly & we never managed to visit. Thereâs also The Galley cafe on the hill which does eat in or take away meals. We had a take out which was extremely good value. All in all a brilliant week away with family. Thanks
