About

Peninerine is situated in the middle portion of South Uist giving easy access, without too much driving, up to North Uist or down to the Isle of Eriskay and on to Barra for a daytrip.  South Uist is still steeped in the local, traditional and cultural activities which you can see and visit. Indeed, you need go no further than the sun-room to see a display of historic photographs of, and books by, the Gaelic poet and philosopher Domhnall Iain Dhonnchaidh, a noted Bard, who is commemorated with a stone monument on the island. This was the house he stayed in, raised his family in and which is still owned by the family.

This is a perfect family home, comfortable, relaxing and equipped with all you need for a great holiday. Peninerine and area is ideal for those with a love of birds as it is the breeding ground for several species both well known and more rare.

This is the perfect place to walk with your dog or for just peaceful beachcombing. If you are interested in fishing there are excellent lochs and permits are available.

Foodies will enjoy the Uist Food Trail which includes some of the best seafood you can find - fresh from the clear waters around the islands. There are various cafe's and hotels open for meals and local bakery goods are a must.

The owners stay just along the road and are on hand to advise you on the islands and what they have to offer.

Two dogs are welcome but please do be aware that sheep are not fenced in and roam freely over the islands. Also there are ground nesting birds on the machair in spring so please do be aware of this when exercising your dog.
