  We had an enjoyable holiday in a lovely area.

  The house was fine and almost everything was pretty much as described. The back rings on the cooker didn't light reliably, which was a nuisance since there was a toddler in the house and we'd rather have used the back rings. It was a surprise to find that the heating was operating on a fixed cycle. I understand the reason but if it had been any warmer outside, it would have become uncomfortably hot. The biggest complaint I would make is that the location shown on the map is very misleading. When I booked the house I believed it was in the settlement very close to the beaches. It is in fact much further away, just off the main road and about a 20 minute walk. While I accept that the verbal description makes no claim about being very close to the beach, and I recognise that Google Maps shows the postcode as being in the settlement, I think it is wrong to show a map location that is completely inaccurate. What Three Words location: refreshed.nickname.releasing is where the house actually is.

  Extremely disappointed!

  House very run down & hugely overpriced. Every room needs fresh decor, bedding mismatched, faded & bobbling. Hot water temperamental regularly going cold mid shower. Shower head fell from ceiling during our stay. We booked this property because I’m on waiting list for a hip replacement but we had no shower downstairs for 2nd week & the toilet seat was loose. Gas leak in kitchen - pipe had to be replaced by engineer during our stay. Kitchen table/chairs unsteady. One chair collapsed beneath my son. Broken step at back door. Roof guttering down & lying in garden. No drawers in twin room, broken drawers in double room. Spice rack in kitchen dates back to 2011 - average Use by date for spices is 2014. No cupboard space in kitchen. Wine glasses full of dust. Dog hair everywhere including cutlery drawer & upstairs. Metal electricity point in kitchen does not comply with today’s regs. No PAT testing. I have taken photographs of all points mentioned.

  Heatherlea was a great holiday venue and we would certainly use it again.

  R Houses ( Rural House) are a great Hebridean addition to the landscape and make for lovely open plan Scandi living. There were a few improvements we would suggest. 1. The bed linen and towels were not to the same high standard as they didn’t feel/smell fresh. This probably came from storing too long in the chest or storing unaired. In addition the bed sheet in the upstairs double didn’t fit the mattress well. 2. The upstairs double room door didn’t close fully as it’s too tight to the floor. Couldn’t have been a new problem. 3. Kitchen utensils were generally good but we needed more chopping boards . There was a single medium size cafetière which was not the best. Pls add some more ! Thanks Richard Pearce

  St Kilda was a fantastic base for North Uist, with all the other isles easily accessible.

  The kitchen and upstairs were great and we spent many an evening watching all the amazing birdlife right from the kitchen table! It should be noted dogs aren’t allowed upstairs, but our two were so exhausted from all the beach runs that the kitchen was their haven for a nap anyway. The spa bath was so welcome after long days of exploring, and even then we could see hen harrier, shorted eared owl, lapwing, geese and even a golden eagle right from the house. Hosta beach is a very short drive away and Balranald reserve IS the back garden - amazing!! Contact with the owner was great and we had a lovely chat with the gardener too. Thank you for a lovely holiday, we hope to be back one day!!

  What a find!

  A beautiful well appointed and comfortable property my wife and our friends and I can't recommend it enough. It's an absolutely lovely place to stay. It is like being at home, The owners have thought about every comfort you may need and more. The kitchen, bathrooms utility, sitting room furnishings are all fitted out to a very high standard. With very comfortable beds, modern bathroom, powerful hot shower. Its location means you don't have to travel far to visit North Uist's wonderful beaches and other parts of North and South Uist. Just a perfect location for a peaceful holiday, be it relaxing or active. It's the most perfect house in every way.
