A host of local amenities can be found in the town of Tiverton, along with a golf club, a castle and a fascinating museum, whilst avid historians will delight with the close proximity to the Iron Age hillfort of Cadbury Castle, once occupied by the Durotriges tribe from which the county of Dorset took their name.

The cottage was extremely clean and very well laid out and kitted out (kitchen was great). It has a lovely setting and we felt very relaxed enjoying the amazing sunsets that the cottage gets. Its location was great for us as it was very central on the island and close to the supermarket and the airport. The owners also really helped accommodate what we needed for our young kids (1&4) which really helped us out. Canât wait to go back!

A great location for exploring North and South Uists, and the exterior photos really don't do it justice - come back on a sunny day! Nothing better than sitting on the bench and watching short-eared owl swooping about over the fields. Mattress a bit saggy for our liking, but overall very comfortable and well-equipped. Just two of us, but a "full house" really wouldn't feel like a squeeze.
