Below is a random selection from the accommodation section
Kinloch stands on the shores of Loch Druidibeg, a National Nature Reserve, and is set in an acre of mature wooded gardens, offering fantastic views across the loch to the hills on the East coast. Eagles fly in sight of the house, deer come into the garden at night, otters work the lochs and brown trout feed in the loch at the bottom of the garden
Kinloch		 We would like to welcome you to the Borrodale Hotel where we pride ourselves on our friendly, relaxed atmosphere and true Island hospitality.

Borrodale Hotel		 Karen and Calum MacAulay are now resident in the Lochboisdale Hotel. A Hotel which dates back to the 1860's and is full of charm and tradition. The Lochboisdale Hotel is situated at the ferry terminal in South Uist overlooking the harbour, and has amazing views across the Minch to Canna and Rhum. Historically it was a sporting hotel which is evident once you step inside the building. Island hospitality abounds and the staff at Lochboisdale are no exception. We aim to make you feel at home and comfortable, so that you may relax and enjoy your holiday. The hotel boasts large individual rooms. 10 double/twin including a large family room that will comfortably sleep five people and 5 single rooms. All the rooms have en-suites. We offer an extensive menu including some of the finest sea food available on the Island. All our meals are cooked fresh and feature the best of fresh local produce. Enjoy the warmth of the Lounge sitting by a real fire and soaking up the Gaelic atmosphere. Music sessions are spontaneous most nights but there is a regular session every fortnight where local people come together and play and catch up with their favourite tunes. The island of South Uist is situated off the west coast of Scotland. A ferry journey from Oban will take you directly to our door. However, the airport in Benbecula is just a short drive away with two flights from Glasgow every day. A short ferry trip from Skye to Lochmaddy will take you to North Uist, approximately 40 miles from Lochboisdale.
Lochboisdale Hotel
The house stands on a low rocky rise, with views across the patchwork of rocks, lochans and boggy ground - the talabh dubh (black earth - ie peaty) to the machair and dunes bordering the sea, to the hills lining the east side of Uist, and even to the more distant hills of Barra. The rocky, boggy land immediately about the house is too poor for anything other than grazing of hardy Blackface sheep, yet is prolific in wildlife. From the windows - even without the help of binoculars - you will see (and hear) lapwings nesting and performing their extraordinary aerial displays; you'll see also sparrow hawks and hen harriers, short-eared owls, lambs being born or suckling. This traditional crofter's house dates from around 1930, and was built by Donald MacLeod, the first tenant of what was then a newly-created small-holding. According to the government grant schemes of the time, materials could be obtained free of charge for a limited range of standard approved house types. The tenant supplied the labour, building the house himself with the help of family, relatives and neighbours. 8 Askernish is one of the very few of these houses in Uist which remains unaltered externally. In the mid-1980s, the quarter-acre plot on which this cottage stands was 'de-crofted' (removed from crofting regulation - becoming a privately-owned plot), and the house with it. About 1990 the house became legally separated from the croft, and nowadays is used by a crofter from a neighbouring township for grazing sheep. The tariff shown here is for standard weekly lettings from Saturday 3pm to Saturday 10am. Shorter lettings and other arrangements are possible in low season - particularly at Christmas and New Year - please enquire. To check latest availability, and to request a booking form, contact Denise Bridge at the email address above. A housekeeping deposit of £100 per week is also payable - more on this below. Upon receiving your provisional reservation (by email, phone or post), we'll send a booking form. You should complete and return the form (within ten days to be sure of retaining your reservation) together with a cheque for 25% of the total sum (ie of tariff + housekeeping deposit) payable for your holiday: we'll confirm by return. The balance is payable six weeks before the start of your holiday - you'll get a reminder. On receiving your final payment, we'll send arrival information. In the interests of promoting sustainable energy consumption, we charge for electricity according to meter readings - at the rate it costs us. Logs and kindling - optimally dried for immediate use - can be purchased from us, again at cost. The cost of electricity and fuel is deducted from your housekeeping deposit. For babies and toddlers we can on request provide a high chair and/or cot for a small charge - please enquire. The balance of your housekeeping deposit will be refunded to you as a cheque in the post during the week after your stay.
8 Askernish		 The Stone House is situated at the head of a sea loch, Loch Eynort, facing Ben More, the highest point of South Uist. Sandy beaches are five minutes away to the west as is Askernish Golf Course, a recently rediscovered and regenerated Tom Morris course. Reduced rates can be arranged to play here. Loch Druidibeg Nature Reserve is nearby, as is Kildonan Museum and various archaeological sites. The Machars Way takes walkers along the beaches and there is ample opportunity for cyclists, canoeists and windsurfers to explore the area. Walkers can benefit from the surrounding hills, including Ben More and Hecla. Further down the road, at North Loch Eynort, where the road ends in a turning circle, is a footpath around Loch Eynort where it is possible to see otters, seals and a wide variety of bird life. Ben More can be accessed from here. The Stone House is an old croft house, recently renovated to a contemporary standard. Due to the thick walled stone construction, advantage has been taken of the space in the reconstruction and the original tiny windowed rooms downstairs now form the sleeping accommodation.
Stone House		 Taigh Mo Sheanair (My Grandfather's House) is a newly renovated self-catering holiday cottage on the beautiful island of Eriskay. It is situated next to the beach and enjoys stunning views towards the Sound of Barra. Babies and toddlers are welcome and a cot and high chair are available by arrangement. Bed linen and towels are provided and electricity is included in the tariff. Sorry, no pets and no smoking indoors. The accommodation consists of: - Lounge with sofa bed - Fully fitted kitchen - Double bedroom - Twin bedroom with additional pull-out guest bed - Bathroom with large walk-in shower cubicle and electric shower Facilities include: - Electric oven and hob - Microwave - Dishwasher - Washing machine - Fridge freezer - Flat screen TV - DVD/CD player - iPod docking station - Garden furniture
