“The property was beautifully furnished and extremely well equipped.”
We had absolutely everything we needed plus loads more! We were a little disappointed with the setting of the property as the photos had been rather cleverly set up to omit the housing estate in the background to the front. The photos made the property look as if it was on its own in a very wild location, however this was not the case. We were surrounded by houses to the front and a rather rundown and broken play park to the rear and felt very overlooked from all directions. The view to the rear of the property (beyond the play park) was stunning though and made up for the disappointment. The property provided a brilliant base from which to explore the Uists and Eriskay, and we absolutely loved the raw and rugged landscapes and beaches. Despite the disappointing location, we would consider returning to the property in the future, purely because of the ease of access to the ferry port and the comfort it provided us during our stay.
