  • "My family and I had a wonderful stay here and we were sad to leave."

    The cottage location is brilliant for accessing other islands and exploring. Comfort and cleanliness very high, great facilities in kitchen and lovely decor throughout. We were always able to relax after a long day out exploring. Nice and spacy too with gorgeous peaceful views from garden. I loved having my morning coffee outside surrounded by nature and calm. Highly recommend and we will be rebooking when we next come to visit Uist. Hosts were very warm and welcoming and I know that if there were any issues (there wasn't) they would be dealt with quickly and efficiently.

    Thank you so much, Rachel and family. We are delighted that you enjoyed your week at Eala Bhàn and very much hope to see you again soon. Fiona & Neil x Property Owner

  • "Excellent holiday cottage and Neil is a very helpful host to ensure your stay is fun and goes smoothly."

    Nature is on the doorstep with an otter spotted one morning swimming up the loch at the end of the garden and red deer in the fields next door one evening. Would definitely stay there again.

    Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back to Eala Bhàn Cottage in the future. Neil & Fiona Property Owner
