    “This cottage is a gem of a find!”

The outside belies the interior which is modern, stylish, spotlessly clean with views over the plain and nearby loch. It has an exceptionally well equipped kitchen and every essential required in the bathroom.

    Tucked away on a quiet peaceful road in South Boisdale not far from the sea within easy distance to Barra, Eriskay, Benbecula and North Uist. The outside belies the interior which is modern, stylish, spotlessly clean with views over the plain and nearby loch. It has an exceptionally well equipped kitchen and every essential required in the bathroom. Our ferry was delayed and we didn't arrive until 9pm and Rona, the owner, was there to give us a warm welcome and a hospitality basket of bread, milk, tea, coffee, shortbread, smoked salmon. There is a good selection of illustrated books which gives you an understanding of the culture and history of the island before you begin to explore. This cottage is perfect for a tranquil and relaxing break and I would most definitely recommend it.

About the location

DALIBURGH, ISLE OF SOUTH UIST

Lochboisdale 3 miles; Ludag, 6.2 miles; Benbecula 24.8 miles.

Daliburgh is a town on South Uist in the Outer Hebrides and is known for being a crofting town. There is a memorial here to commemorate the life and works of Donald Allan MacDonald, a Gaelic poet who lived in Daliburgh in the mid 20th century. It is a great base from which to explore a fantastic selection of activities from fishing and walking to diving and birdwatching. The nearby Askernish Golf Course is always popular and was originally designed by ‘Old’ Tom Morris and is popular with golfers keen to test themselves on this challenging course. Dining options include fish and chips from the Burnside Chip Shop or for something a little more fancy dine in at the Borrodale Hotel. While you are in Daliburgh you can stock up on supplies at the supermarket and there is also a number of other shops including gifts shops. A short distance from Daliburgh is the fascinating Kildonan Museum and the birthplace of Flora MacDonald as well as a host of fabulous beaches just waiting to be discovered.
