Monthly Rentals in Uidh

Lovely self contained apartment for two, very well equipped and with laundry facilities which we didn’t use. Safe parking outside and a great view from the main room. A 25 minute walk to the ferry and local stops. We cooked for ourselves so can’t comment about restaurants nearby

We had a fabulous stay - the cottage is authentic yet has every comfort you could possibly need. Notwithstanding the quality of the cottage what set it apart for us is the location. As a fairly regular visit to the islands to get a stay on Vatersay was an opportunity too precious not to take up. The cottage is on top of a hill with views in all directions - with everything on the island in walking distance - follow the Uidh road to a number of remote beaches with views across Castlebay - or make your way around the island to the justifiably famous beaches below. We also sensed the tragic local history of Vatersay - read ‘Vatersay Raiders’. The cottage surrounded by the foundations of former crofting homes - it is humbling to think of those who lived before and the thriving community that makes the island a unique place today. The other convenience is despite the isolated surroundings, the hub of Castlebay is only 10 minutes away - with its restaurants and supermarkets. Wonderful!

Difficult to describe in a few words how perfect the cottage is. From the moment you enter (even on a cold wet October evening) how warm and cosy and right at home Dalmatian cottage makes you feel. Everything from the lovely wine glasses to the beautiful bed linen is 5 star. Every comfort is provided for. With just a few minutes walk to 3 stunning beaches it could not be in a better position. It is hard to do this home justice it is even harder to leave. Loved every moment here.

What a lovely spot and a wonderful host too. We would highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a private get away on a stunning island.
