We had a lovely holiday at this house and didn’t want to leave ! The house was perfect for us , very spacious , freshly decorated , with well appointed rooms. It was extremely clean and had a lovely layout . All the furnishings felt like they were brand new . The main lounge was lovely with a very large comfortable ,reclining sofa and log burner. There was also a lovely upstairs seating area too to enjoy the beautiful views .The large kitchen diner was fabulous and had everything you could think of . Lovely seating area in there too . The basket of local produce was a lovely touch and we enjoyed all of them We also appreciated the large main bathroom with the spacious walk in shower and spa bath and lovely high quality towels & toiletries provided .Downstairs WC and Utility were so usefulHuge enclosed garden was great for our wee dog and didn’t have to worry about her escaping . Great location for exploring the area and for visiting Eriskay (the causeway is so near ) and we also took a day trip to Barra .Loved exploring South Uist & also drove to Benbecula , North Uist & Berneray from there too. The owner was very engaged to make sure everything was okay for us .Would highly recommend this house
