Taigh Gorm

We had a fantastic stay at Taigh Gorm.

The cottage has everything you could possibly need for a wonderful holiday. The views are lovely and the location is so peaceful. We saw lots of birds and wildlife from the cottage. Baleshare beach was close and it was a great base for exploring the rest of North Uist and beyond.

This was the third time that we stayed at Taigh Gorm and we settled into the cottage very quickly, it truly is a ‘home from home’.

It is very comfortable and the open plan sitting, dining and kitchen area is cosy and communal. Great facilities means that you can concentrate on enjoying your holiday as everything works so well. The small island of Baleshare has many birds and you are surrounded by the songs of Skylark, Lapwing and Redshank. On one visit we had a Hen Harrier hunting in the croft at the bottom of the garden! The location is close to RSPB Balranald and other areas on North Uist, known for their bird sightings.

Cosy cottage with great views and lots of bird watching opportunities

Taigh Gorm is such a special place me and my brother were just overwhelmed with peace and beauty of the area, its a bird watchers paradise with plenty of places to walk especially when the tide goes out.

Just bring your own food and the blue house has it all .

Such a lovely cottage in a very peaceful part of The Uists.

It was ideally based for us to explore the islands from Berneray down to Eriskay. The cottage had everything we needed for the week, it was really comfortable & spacious with a lovely outdoor space. After a days exploring it was lovely to return to the cottage, relax & take in the views.

Excellent cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Warm and cosy when the weather is not as clement as it could be. We enjoyed the views across Baleshare and the regular wildlife sightings from the sitting room. Taigh Gorm is in a great position to explore the islands and we looked forward to coming back everyday and seeing it raised up on its grassy knoll. We hope to be back.

Superb.

Thank you

Taigh Gorm is a fabulous holiday home.

The owners, have ensured that there is everything you need while on holiday & everything in the house is excellent quality. We loved the location, seemingly remote but perfect for visiting North & South Uist. One of the very best holiday properties we have ever stayed.

Our second stay at this outstanding property and already booked again for next year.

The only problem we find is that we don't know which window to look out of, but it is a problem worth having

Really enjoyed our stay at Taigh Gorm.

The house is cosy and sits on a slightly elevated position that gives views all around. The bird life around the house is really varied and we listened to corncrake and snipe regularly. We would be happy to rebook if returning to North Uist.

Absolutely fantastic and immaculate cottage in a fabulous location.

Felt just like a home with some lovely touches that even included a pair of binoculars. The beach was a 20min stroll (or 2 mins in the car, with parking) and had miles of flat sand at low tide. Great base for exploring other places on the islands too.

Taiga Gorm felt like home from home.

The thought that had gone into the furnishings and personal touches, made this property even more special than it already was, due to the stunning location and general equipment/furniture. I've stayed in a number of properties and this had to the best by far.

This utterly lovely cottage surpassed all our expectations.

Charmingly decorated without being cluttered, and every last detail had been thought of. We had a wonderful stay. For the wildlife enthusiast (as we were) Baleshare was also wonderful, as was all of North Uist. We hope to visit the Outer Hebrides again, with Taigh Gorm at the top of our list. We can not recommend this property highly enough.

The bird song was amazing, what a view.

A truly peaceful retreat. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Well maintained and in a great location. Uist and the other islands are an amazing place to visit, so easy to get around with well stocked shops especially the seafood shop at Kallin. Beautiful beaches and scenery - got to be one of the best kept secrets of the UK.

We had a week of fairly wild weather and Taigh Gorm felt like such a haven from the elements.

It was so well appointed (even better than the pictures) and well equipped. Baleshare is a beautiful island and Taigh Gorm is perfectly located to explore the outer Hebrides. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the house to others. Thanks for a wonderful stay

We had a delightful holiday staying at Taigh Gorm.

Warm, cosy and comfortable and we enjoyed watching the weather and bird life. Would recommend it as a wonderful well equipped holiday home for anyone.

Repeat stay in a wonderful cottage.

Great property in wonderful location.

Quality products & decor. Walking distance to amazing beach. Loved watching the spring lambs in the croft next door. Would happily return & recommend.

I travel in the Highlands & Islands of Scotland extensively and when I book late year holidays (November) I choose properties that I fondly refer to as "Plan B" By this I mean if the weather is lousy then I can always pack a few books to read in luxury accommodation.

Unfortunately, the weather WAS lousy and Taigh Gorm WAS a haven and oasis of luxury! However, I managed to get one day of walking in, and what a day. Glorious sunshine, no wind and just wearing a fleece, I hiked up Rueval for the most spectacular walk I have ever had in the Highlands & Islands in 5 years. I will e-mail you photos after submitting this feedback!

We spent three unforgettable weeks in this cozy and well furnished cottage on the beautiful island of Uist.

The cottage is ideal for discovering the whole island from Berneray to Eriskay. Every day we were happy to come back to our little blue house. In addition to the wonderful view from every window, we were able to observe numerous birds and rabbits. We were also happy about the calves and the lovely little lamb in the neighboring field. The beautiful and interesting hikes through moorland and the countless dream beaches make Uist one of our favorite places. We will definitely come back!

My girlfriend and I used Taigh Gorm as a base for exploring the Isles and found it to be ideally placed for that as well as in a beautiful location itself.

10 minutes from a stunning beach and all the cycling and running routes you could hope for. It's beautifully decorated and is equipped with premium furnishings, meaning you're in the right place if you want to chill out. 10/10

What a great place!

We fell in love with this lovely blue cottage from the first minute. Wonderful interior decoration, all new, full of atmosphere. Fabulous and quiet retreat. Amidst impressive scenery, close to the beach.

Lovely property with everything we needed in it and we enjoyed our stay there very much.

Thank you.

A lovely place to stay, extremely comfortable and in a fantastic location for a relaxing break.

Perfect in every way.

Warm, comfortable and well equipped with wonderful windows looking onto the beautiful landscape of North Uist. We hope very much to come back.

Fantastic holiday home in an idyllic setting, just a short walk to the beautiful beach.

The house is very well equipped to a high standard. Communication with hosts was excellent and we were made to feel immensely welcome. I would thoroughly recommend this place to anyone. Thank you for a wonderful, restful holiday.

An absolutely exceptional house in immaculate condition and in a stunning location.

Cannot recommend highly enough. Brilliant location for exploring the Uists, Benbecula, Berneray and Eriskay. Will definitely return.

Small but perfectly formed.

A delightful place to stay and would return like a shot. In fact, very impressed with LHH generally. This was our first stay and would highly recommend both the company and the property.
