Mr Oakes
August 2023

“We appreciated the owner waiting to greet us when we arrived at Rockpool and the generous basket of local produce that was left for us.”

The setting is stunning, with uninterrupted views to Eriksay and the house itself is to a very high specification. Beds and sofas very comfortable and house really well equipped. We enjoyed the ponies coming to visit most mornings and walking on the beach at low tide was lovely. Thoroughly recommend.

“Great weeks holiday at Rockpool.”

Lovely well equipped house with fabulous views across to Eriskay. Comfortable beds, powerful showers with plenty of hot water. Loved having a wood burner with logs supplied. We were lucky to see White tailed Eagles and Otters. Enjoyed a great day out wildlife spotting with Stephen at western-isles-wildlife.co.uk , the shop across the causeway is very good . Excellent food and a warm welcome at the AM Politician, Scallops the size of golf balls! Already planning next years holiday with LHH.

Visitor Book Comment June 2019 Mar 2020

“We have rented some fabulous properties but from the moment we entered Rockpool we were blown away by the view, absolutely terrific.”

It never failed to evoke relaxation every time we walked in. We saw loads of seabirds, short eared owl, eagles soaring over the back, ponies, sheep, gannets diving and saw Rhum and Eigg. We will never forget Rockpool and hope to stay again. Also enjoyed day trip to Barra.

“Fabulous house, fabulous view!”

Everything you could ever want in a holiday home is catered for. Beds are super comfy and showers are nice and powerful. The view from the house is however the star of the show, breathtakingly beautiful, whatever the weather.

“What a fantastic house and a warm welcome and later also goodbye by the owner, Margareth-ann.”

The house is well equiped in all. Outside the beautiful deck is very good with outstanding views. Also to be seen inside. The beds are vey comfortable and the shower hot with power. A very good point is the extra tv in the smaller bedroom. We have certainly plans to come again.

Eileen Frater Nov 2018

“We had a wonderful time staying at Rockpool on South Uist, it has the most amazing setting with views across the water, Eriskay causeway and looking across to the Isle of Eriskay.”

The house is immaculate and well kitted out. The layout work really well too. Thoroughly recommend this cottage and hope to return one day.

JoMcMann Nov 2018

“This property is absolutely amazing!”

If you want peace and quiet with fabulous views and beaches, this is the place. The house was spotlessly clean and there was nothing you would want for. The owners are very welcoming and the dog was very safe and settled. We would definitely love to go back, thank you.

- JoMcMann, Nov 2018

The property

Rockpool occupies a truly magnificent position and commands panoramic views across the sea to the islands of Eriskay, Barra and beyond to the mountains of Rum. The view is just breathtaking and will surely mean that you hardly want to stray from this perfect holiday cottage! However, the beautiful, white shell beaches will lure you away to explore, but Rockpool will always be a warm and welcoming base to return to. The island of Barra is just a short ferry trip so easy to visit in a day and here you can see the planes landing on a cockle shell beach - subject to tides of course! South Uist and North Uist are connected by a causeway so it is easy to tour both islands during your stay and those wishing to sail from Skye to North Uist can then drive down to Rockpool in under an hour and a half. The cottage offers comfortable and welcoming accommodation with the luxury of 3 bedrooms and 3 shower rooms.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
