Heatherlea

Wonderful cosy house with every single modern comfort you could wish for - and of course in a fabulous location, conveniently positioned to visit both north and south of Uist.

Overall we enjoyed our stay very much in this lovely cottage but a few things could have been better.

There were only minimal amounts of crockery and cutlery so did a lot of washing up, especially as the dishwasher wasn't working properly. The main problem was being without hot water for 24 hours as a power cut had tripped the controls. It would be very useful to have instructions in the house on how to reset it, as most people are not familiar with heat pumps. The owner did do her best to rectify the situation.

Very comfortable and clean property - just what we needed.

Thanks

A lovely place to stay.

Quiet, good views, not too far from shops. Excellent for the dog, with a totally enclosed garden. Everything about Heatherlea was of good quality. The owner is to be commended.

Thank you for a really lovely stay at Heatherlea.

We had a wonderful time. The house is so lovely, very comfortable and really well equipped. It was such a pleasure staying there. It’s a great, central location to explore the islands. The dogs loved the garden and our beds were so comfortable. The house was spotlessly clean throughout. Would definitely recommend Heatherlea. I can imagine in the summer it would be lovely to sit outside and enjoy the garden.

Could have done with a clothes-line to dry washing on.

Super stay at Heatherlea.

The property was perfect. Everything you could want in a holiday let - very clean, well equipped and tastefully furnished. Excellent setting and a lovely view from the front decking. Garden was very secure for our dog, no worries about letting her out to enjoy the garden. All in all an excellent home for a holiday. Thanks very much!

Heatherlea is absolutely fantastic - the best, very high quality.

It is so beautifully appointed with lovely, calm decoration and features, and so well, generously equipped; we had all we needed and much more. The beds and linen are super-comfortable and the whole place is light, bright and airy. The location is excellent for getting to know North Uist and the other islands and the views are just wonderful. It is brilliant that it is dog-friendly too - thank you. We had excellent sightings of birds throughout our stay from the house, especially Short-Eared Owls hunting around the house and sitting on the fence posts in the garden - so very special. I can highly recommend Heatherlea for the best of holidays.

Heatherlea has been a beautiful place to stay, clean, spacious with everything well thought out and catered for, a calm place to be.

A wonderful base for travelling around the islands. We would definately stay again - thank you

Heatherlea was a great holiday venue and we would certainly use it again.

R Houses ( Rural House) are a great Hebridean addition to the landscape and make for lovely open plan Scandi living. There were a few improvements we would suggest. 1. The bed linen and towels were not to the same high standard as they didn’t feel/smell fresh. This probably came from storing too long in the chest or storing unaired. In addition the bed sheet in the upstairs double didn’t fit the mattress well. 2. The upstairs double room door didn’t close fully as it’s too tight to the floor. Couldn’t have been a new problem. 3. Kitchen utensils were generally good but we needed more chopping boards . There was a single medium size cafetière which was not the best. Pls add some more ! Thanks Richard Pearce
