Taigh an Uillt

Beautiful home in an amazing location

At the risk of me not being able to book for next year, I would definitely recommend this property for those wanting peace and quiet and lovely beaches within easy striking distance, the property is lovely and comfortable and John the owner lives next door and is welcoming and helpful

The cottage was beautiful.

Clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The owner had left plenty of provisions, which was very helpful. The location is great. It was a short stroll to Kneep beach, a couple of minute drive to Reef Beach and there were walks from the door. We would highly recommend this accommodation and would love to return.

An excellent property for us (even better than we had imagined from the listing) - beautiful location, delightful local host, and equipped with everything you could ask for.

it's not listed in the details that the property has a field running down to the sea and I don't want to give away details, but it's a bird lover's dream!

The accomodation was very clean and comfortable as well as peaceful.

An area for dirty boots and wet coats makes life easier as well as a washing machine/ dryer. There was no need to have taken tee-towels, washing up liquid , dish cloths, hand soap, kitchen rolls etc as there was plenty there for us and we was. there for 2 weeks. Hope to go again. The only thing I would definitely do next time is to book a daytime ferry iff possible as it is around 45 mins from Stornoway and not much fun trying to find it in the dark ! Also, iff you are planning to arrive on a Saturday take enough food and drink to last until Monday because no shops or cafe are open on a Sunday.Take a torch in case you have a power cut due to the weather!!

The most incredible place to spend a week.

A well equipped and clean cottage in a beautiful location. We had the a wonderful holiday.

The accommodation was perfect for us as a family of 5 to spend a week exploring Lewis and Harris.

Everything was clean and in good condition. The equipment in the kitchen and the entire household was very good. The communication beforehand worked well and there was no confusion. John greeted us on arrival and showed us around, he is an extremely friendly and helpful host. The neighbourhood is very quiet and the view of the bay is enchanting. We felt very comfortable and would be happy to recommend this holiday home.

Loved the cottage and location, and the owner John was very helpful.

However a poor experience of Sykes customer service on a number of occasions, and would be reluctant to rent again through this agency

This is a very good cottage in an amazing location.

Lovely safe garden for our dog and for sitting out. Comfortable beds. Everything very clean. Look forward to a return visit sometime.

The property fulfilled all our expectations.

John, the owner, met us on arrival and was nearby though not intrusive

John was an excellent host who welcomed us on arrival and was around but not intrusive .

The cottage was comfortable and well planned with every detail thought of . It was clean on arrival , biscuits and milk provided, also some essentials in cupboard were welcome. Black out blinds ensured we slept soundly in the comfy beds. The kitchen is very well equipped, making family meals was easy . The area is superb , fabulous views and easy walks to beaches. Couldn’t find any fault with the cottage or location.

A slice of pure bliss!

Wonderful location for amazing beaches & peace.

We can't recommend this house enough.

John is a warm and friendly host. A home from home beside beautiful beaches. We will definitely stay again.

We had a lovely stay thank you.

The house was exactly as advertised, and we had a nice welcome.

Another fabulous stay.

Fantastic location, comfortable homely house. Will be back again

We had a fabulous holiday & the accommodation exceeded our expectations.

Lovely cottage in such an idyllic location.

Four beautiful beaches literally on your doorstep. The cottage was really well equipped with everything we needed and the beds very comfortable. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again if we returned to Lewis.

Comfortable and well located cottage.

Well equipped and a very welcoming owner. Great views and easy to walk down on to the beach.

We enjoyed a fantastic week in Kneep and John (our host) provides an excellent home with everything you may need and a well equipped kitchen.

We weren’t sure whether we’d be close to the beach or not but the location is a couple of minutes walk from Kneep beach and 7 minutes walk to Reef beach. On the last night we had some very special guests behind the home; a stag and 3 deer. Such a great ending to a much needed and relaxing holiday! We’d highly recommend this home to anyone and everyone! Thank you!

Lovely stay again at Taigh An Uillit.

Has all the facilities required for a alarm comfortable stay and is in a stunning location. We will be back again next year.

Taigh an Uillt is a beautiful house in a wonderful location.

We have stayed several times now and love it there. John is so helpful and there is no better place to stay in Uig.

Taigh an Uillt is a fantastic property situated in the beautiful village of Kneep with easy access to the Kneep, Valtos and spectacular Reef beaches.

John is a superb host and is always extremely helpful. We cannot recommend Taigh an Uillt enough having stayed here many times now.

We had a lovely time in this cottage.

The location is brilliant and the garden was perfect for our dog. The garden furniture was very much appreciated as we had very good weather. Access to the beautiful beach was great. There is a resident rat near the oil tank in the garden that we spotted a few times but it was not a problem for us. Just saying in case there are young children around. The only issues we had were minor. Larger towels would have been good and we definitely wanted more mugs. We thought there was a missed opportunity with regard to the size of the windows. Those in the sitting room could have been larger to take advantage of the lovely views. Thanks to John for a lovely comfortable week.

We had a great holiday at John's cottage and we will return next year for another 2 weeks.

Great to have conversations with real local folk and John is a marvellous host. On a point of business we have booked with "Sykes" but they have not confirmed our booking and deposit for next year. Ian and Isobel Short

Taigh an Uillt is a fantastic place to stay in the beautiful village of Kneep and John is so friendly and helpful.

We have now stayed there 5 or 6 times and are already looking forward to going back.

Excellent place to stay.

Has everything you need for a home away from home. Location was perfect for us. Being able to look out the living room window and see the sea is just great. John was a very nice host, very friendly and knowledgeable about the island. Will be back next year.

Fantastic property in a beautiful location.

I cannot recommend it highly enough.

The bungalow was really clean and well presented.

It was simple but with everything we needed. It was spacious, comfortable with lovely bathroom and kitchen. All the equipment was in good working order and seemed brand new. Also. John greeted us when we arrived and was really helpful and friendly. I loved the fact that each bedroom had a chair, tissues, lovely big wardrobe with nice hangers plus extra blankets if needed. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and appreciated returning each day after our walks and daytime visits around the island. We would not hesitate to recommend anyone to visit this property. We hope very much to return, in fact we were really sad to leave and wished we had booked to stay another week. We loved the peace and quiet, the sheep walking past the windows each day, the views, the short walks to what has to be the finest beaches in the world, the space. I would move in given half a chance !! I loved sitting at the kitchen table with the radio on looking at my guide books or doing a bit of sewing. It was superb.

March 2018 - 11 degrees and sunny and calm all day!

Spent all afternoon on Riof Beach which has to be just about the most wonderful beach in the whole of the Hebrides. The sand is almost pure white and the sea a brilliant turquoise. The house is a home from home with everything you could need. It is one of the cleanest cottages I have stayed in - everything pristine. The Bhaltos area is fascinating and well rewards just wandering around. The loop walk all round the peninsula is worth doing if you get a good day. Definitely recommend. Watched a sea eagle for a while from the headland at Cliff beach.

An excellent property - great location and everything provided for a very comfortable stay.

Thank you to John for the warm welcome.

Very nice holiday bungalow with everything you need to spend a week.

Beaches in walking distance, nice shop nearby. Very spacious rooms and the owner is very friendly. Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful house and John the owner is so helpful.

I would highly recommend it and the area is just stunning.

Another fantastic stay at Taigh an Uillt.

Our second time although i have been coming to the area for a long time. We are booked again for next year. A week isn't long enough though. The house is beautiful, fresh and clean and very spacious.

A lovely comfortable house, with great facilities and well equipped kitchen, and very handy utility room for those sandy boots, short walk to beautiful beaches, a short drive to the local community shop, in all a throughly relaxing week.

A lovely and very comfortable house which could cope with us arriving back after a day out in whatever the weather gave us - from boots covered in sand to wet walking gear.

The area is beautiful, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the very quiet location offering a huge variety of walks. Many thanks, John, for such a reviving two weeks' stay.
