South Uist Cottages

South Uist Cottages is a family-run group of four self-catering properties on South Uist, let directly by Roddy and Fiona MacInnes of South Boisdale. Three of the cottages are in the crofting township of North Boisdale, about five minutes' walk from sandy beaches, and the fourth is at Iochdar in the north of the island near the Benbecula causeway.

Corncrake Cottage is a traditional stone house with a king room, a twin room and a single room with bunk beds. Kelp Cottage and Canach Cottage are semi-detached converted barns, each sleeping four in a double room and a bunk room, with an upstairs lounge looking towards the beach and the tidal island of Orasay. All three have a fitted kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine, wi-fi, electric heating, a sheltered garden and off-road parking, and pets are accepted.

Gualan Sands is a three-bedroom house for six overlooking the sands at Iochdar, with a ground-floor king-size en-suite room, two twin rooms, underfloor heating and an open-plan living space; a housekeeping bond applies. Askernish golf course is a short drive from the Boisdale cottages.
