Daliburgh is a well-known crofting settlement on the island of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides. Near honour of Donald Allan MacDonald, a Gaelic poet who made his home in Daliburgh in the middle of the twentieth century, this area features a memorial. It's a convenient home base for venturing out to do anything from fishing and hiking to scuba diving and bird viewing. Golfers looking for a challenge may enjoy the neighbouring Askernish Golf Course, which was designed by the legendary "Old" Tom Morris. You can get fish and chips at the Burnside Chip Shop, or you may eat in the Borrodale Hotel for a fancier meal. Daliburgh has a grocery where you may fill up on food, as well as several other businesses, some of which sell presents. The Kildonan Museum and Flora MacDonald's birthplace are just a short drive from Daliburgh, as are many beautiful beaches.

    !!!!! Everything Was Amazing …Cottage ..Owners…location …facilities…interior…cleanliness…can’t say anymore than just WOW…had an amazing week will 100% be back …a real gem

  • Pauline

    It had everything you could need in a self catering property and more. The owners had thought of everything and even left a beautiful welcome basket and fridge essentials. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable with plenty of space to store clothes etc. The beach was just a straight 10 minute walk to see the most beautiful white sand and gorgeous sunsets. We had a small problem one day and the owners kindly came to our assistance immediately. When in Uist, we would definitely rent again.

    Check in was great, the welcome pack was fab and the cottage had everything and more that we needed. Looking to book again for next year.
