Driftwood

This cottage is magical.

It’s position on the most beautiful beach and the views are just incredible. The owners go to a lot of trouble to make you feel at home and relaxed. It’s has a lovely homely feel and there is alot of space to sleep, relax, cook and enjoy the amazing views and beach opposite. I won’t hesitate to book there again.

A very comfortable stay made even more so by a great host.

We stayed as a family of four and were lucky enough to bring along our dogs.

Driftwood was an exceptional property and had everything you could wish for and more. Every detail has been thought out. It is situated right across the road from the beach and views are absolutely stunning. We experienced some beautiful beaches and spent the day in Barra. We enjoyed a few pints in the nearby pub (Am Politician). Where everyone was so friendly. Overall I would definitely recommend Driftwood. Owners were very approachable and answered all all queries. We were even allowed in early which made it feel like we had an extra day added to our holiday

We had a wonderful time staying at Driftwood.

The house was beautiful, immaculately clean, had everything we could possibly need, and the setting was just stunning. We were also very lucky in that we had beautiful weather for the whole time we were there, which made exploring the islands even more special.

Absolutely beautiful house with everything you could possibly need.

The weather was not in our favour but did not stop us enjoying ourselves Contact with owner, absolute delight, on hand for any problems.

Beautiful house with beautiful views.

Super clean, spacious, light, warm, well presented with tasteful modern furniture and finishes, and quality kitchen appliances. Possibly the only house we have stayed in with a proper espresso machine which is a big thumbs up.

Absolutely first class!

- Despite the weather. Beautiful walks in the beaches, museum visits, lovely local seafood experiences. The storm/high winds prevented us from enjoying the whole week as we had to “flee homewards” to avoid being stuck on the Island. Hope to return in the Spring to see the Machar flowers.

This is probably one of the best holiday houses we have ever stayed in.

It was simply a beautiful house, with lots of very nice furnishing, equipment, and finishes. It is obvious that the home was created with love and such thought. All the furnishings and even paint colors match the colors of the environment the house sits in. It is in such a nice setting, we could sit all day looking out of the huge windows out to the sea(a stone’s throw away) . The light was always changing. I have never seen so many rainbows in one day. The owners, Margaret and Michael, could not have been nicer to us. So warm and welcoming…thank you! Even though the house sits close to the main road (one lane) there is nothing obstructing the beautiful views of the sea. While inside the house it seems to be in a very private setting (it is set well above the road). There are a few nice restaurants and places to shop for food near by. We would come back.

Driftwood is an amazing property and is done to the highest standards.

The view from the lounge is breathtaking and although we didn't have great weather, the property more than made up for it.

Driftwood is a really generous house in so many ways.

The level of cleanliness and comfort is a delight. Every little detail has been considered and the design was exemplary. We loved it. The level of light, the views all around including the curve of the earth - this house was made to restore the soul and that's what it did for us.

Absolutely beautiful.

Nothing negative to say. We hope to return.

This is an exceptional place to stay- the second time we have been here.

The owners have given so much thought to ensuring that the house feels like a real home with all the high-standard comforts. The owners were very kind and welcoming. We had another wonderful holiday here.

This is a magnificent house that has everything required to enjoy a wonderful holiday in South Uist.

The views from the property over to Eriskay and Barra are stunning. The helpful owners Margaret Ann and Michael are nearby and it was great to meet them both during our stay.

A very well designed comfortable house with a stunning location and helpful and responsive hosts .

We loved the house - it was beautiful from top to bottom!

Views were unbelievable it was so lovely to watch the changing light from the comfy sofas. The owners were very helpful and accommodating. Overall a wonderful experience.

We have stayed in many cottages in Scotland but hands down, Driftwood is the best one.

It has everything - the interior is beautiful. It is pristine, stylish, comfortable and well appointed. A genuine home from home. The view from downstairs and up is breathtaking, the beach across the road, Eriskay and Barra. It is handy for beautiful beaches, a tasty meal in The Politician, many walks and the Uist Museum. Michael and Margaret Ann are great hosts, friendly, responsive and helpful. We were very sad to leave, it's a perfect place!

Without doubt, the best property I have stayed at.

With the best location.

Michael and Margaret have done a superb job with planning, building and maintaining this property.

It was immaculate on arrival, and they'd left a great mix of local produce. During our stay, there were problems with the ferry. Michael came round to discuss options with us, and to offer support. On returning home, we got a text from Michael telling us that he thought we'd left one of my son's toys behind. When we confirmed that it was ours, he immediately offered to post it over to us. The toy arrived soon after. We could not have asked for more from our hosts. They went 'above and beyond', to make sure our holiday was perfect.

Excellent cottage.

Michael was very helpful and communication was great. The cottage was beautifully laid out with everything you could need, clean, spacious and relaxing. Beautiful views out the front with the sea, and out the back the mountains, we saw plenty of eagles, owls and more out the back towards the mountain! Would highly recommend staying here. Thanks Michael

Amazing house with breathtaking views.

The property exceeded our expectations in location, comfort and style. Driftwood really is a beautiful property with no expense spared on making it comfortable for guests. Great communication with the host, Michael. Would not hesitate in recommending this property for a break away from reality!!

A perfect getaway, thanks for seeing us on the beach to check all was well.

My wife loved swimming on the beach next to the house. We will be returning!! We hope
