"Had the most fantastic time on South Uist and Ceannard Cottage."
The cottage was home from home and Mary & family were on hand to support when needed with a friendly personable touch.
First class accommodation and we would highly recommend. Thank you.
Great to have hosted you. Weather can be a challenge but a positive attitude overcomes all!

"The cottage was fabulous in a lovely quiet location surrounded by wildlife, so clean and well equipped!"
Mary made us feel extremely welcome, even brought us some homemade scones over one day and helped us with advice when we had some car issues during our stay.
Really didn't want to leave!
Thanks for coming and enjoying our local community. Plenty sunshine here now!

"The property was great - clean, warm, modern and comfortable."
A great base for seeing the area; easy to walk from the front door and wonderful for bird watching, checking out the local beaches and accessing the hills. The owner was very helpful; our only frustration was not being able to contact her directly to arrange arrival times etc. as the links through Sykes cottages made it difficult.
Thanks for your generous remarks! It is a frustration from my side too that no direct contact is possible around arrival times etc.
safe onward travels!

"We loved this cottage."
Being keen naturalists, the wildlife on the doorstep was fantastic. We had golden and white-tailed eagles, hen harriers and short-eared owls right outside the door. The machair and coast were close by within a couple of miles.
The cottage was clean, comfortable and had all the equipment we needed for our holiday. The showers were powerful and the bed was comfy and roomy.
The owner was friendly and recommended places to go as well as making us some delicious scones which were delivered one morning warm in a basket.
A beautiful island with a slow pace of life. Just perfect to recharge the batteries.
Thanks - sorry the weather wasn’t so good! Come back again !

"The best rental we have had."
It wasn't only an impressive property it was well equipped with everything you needed. We took food with us and self catered and had all of the kitchen equipment we needed.
The location was great not only local owls and even a white tailed Eagle flew over. Mountains and coast are a short drive away.
We had a super break here for a week.
Thank you for your kind words! Hope you are well and rested!

"An excellent base to explore N and S Uist, Eriskay & Barra."
There is no where better to see birds. From the kitchen/living room you are guaranteed to see Sea Eagles, Hen Harriers Short Eared Owls and golden eagles. A mile or so down the road there’s some of the best Machair in Scotland and the magnificent walk up Beinn Mhor is a short drive away, as is the excellent museum. The big windows enable you to look across the Machair to the sea, a great place to watch the changing light and weather and spectacular sunrises/sunsets. The place is very tastefully designed - lovely paintings, crockery, blinds etc. and one of the best equipped cottages we’ve ever been to with high spec equipment. There are several beautiful photographic books which helpfully inform you about the history and culture of S Uist. We also loved the three handsome chickens wandering around. The next door hosts are also delightful. We can’t recommend this place enough.

"The cottage is well laid-out and had all the equipment we required, and the owner was friendly and helpful."
However, there was no information booklet containing information such as waste disposal, recycling, restaurants, shopping and supermarkets, doctors and health needs, etc. Perhaps you could consider making this a requirement for all LHH properties. The situation of the cottage was not as attractive as other LHH properties we have use, being closely next door to the owner’s home, and with a chicken run very close by.
Unfortunately, we had to leave a day early due to Calmac cancellations. We had told the owner a few days earlier but were unable to find her on our morning of departure to thank her. Please pass on our thanks.
