About
These identical barn conversions are situated in the peaceful and tranquil area of South Boisdale and just a short drive from the machair and sandy beaches for which South Uist is renowned. Wood-lined throughout creates the feeling of the older Hebridean cottages and adds warmth and charm. The lounge is on the upper floor and the window looks towards the beach. There is private off road parking. The two are totally private but also make the ideal solution for 2 families wanting to holiday together.
The area is traditional crofting land and seasonal activities from lambing to harvest are fascinating to observe year round. Bird life is varied from the usual suspects to more exotic migrants blown off course. Short eared owls swoop past in the evening but the real star of the show is the Corncrake which is frequently heard and seldom seen in the fields adjoining the cottage. Ornithologists dream location!
Beachcombers can hope to find a whole collection of shells including blue rayed limpets and cowrie shells. Walkers and cycists can undertake some of the Hebridean Way which passes close by and the Machair Walk is blissful when covered in flowers from late spring to late summer.
Archaeology is abundant, free of charge and easily accessed. There is an excellent museum and cafe at the nearby Kildonan Museum which we highly recommend you visit before heading out to the sites.
Shopping is easy at the Coop in Daliburgh and a short trip over to Eriskay, across the causeway, is recommended for the well stocked community store. You can also order an Eriskay Jumper here - hand knitted by the islanders and made to measure for you personally! These traditional fisherman's 'ganzies' are world famous and knitted to an exacting standard.
Take a boat trip with Uist Boat Tours to Mingulay to see the gannets on the towering cliffs or sail by Calmac ferry to the Isle of Barra - easily achievable in a day or head north to Grimsay and North Uist and follow the 'Food Trail'. On the way there or back don't miss the Hebridean Jewellery centre for that special gift you have always been looking for or a delicious lunch in the cafe.
