About this property
You don’t need to bring your car on the ferry to the island in order to stay at our property. Lochboisdale is the ferry port where you would arrive if sailing from Mallaig or Oban. It is on the island of South Uist, Outer Hebrides and can sleep six people in three bedrooms. Beinn Mhor View is a beautifully-appointed, single-storey cottage resting in a quiet cul de sac among other properties on Kenneth Drive in Lochboisdale. It makes a convenient holiday spot, especially for those
who may wish to save the expense of traveling with a car to the Western Isles. Cycle hire and car hire available in Lochboisdale.
Resting in the picturesque port town of Lochboisdale, a moments walk from the Lochboisdale ferry terminal, sits the charming, single-storey cottage of Beinn Mhor View. Surrounded by rugged beauty on the island of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides, the cottage is a homely, contemporary base with mountain views to explore the great outdoors in comfort. Two off-road parking spaces greet you at the foot of this lovely dwelling, equipped with an external charging port for those traveling with electric vehicles.

In the warmer months, make mealtimes an alfresco affair and gather together with a seat at the picnic benches. Retire to the sitting room after a long day trekking the island where a plush corner sofa invites you to put your feet up in front of the TV. Hang your towel on the heated towel rail in the sleek shower room and wash the day away, before retiring to one of three bedrooms; two doubles and a bunk bed are all thoughtfully decorated with bedside lamps for late night readers.

It had everything we needed. An improvement I would suggest would be some sort of privacy aid (blind/screen on glass door in vestibule) for passing from bathroom to bedrooms after using the shower. Our first impression of the property was that it was accurate to listing and well maintained.

We went to Skydancer coffee shop a couple of times and to the Lochboisdale Hotel for dinner and a ceilidh both within walking distance. Many thanks for a great stay.

The views were wonderful, it was clean, it was comfortable and well equipped. It was finished to a high standard and a joy to return to. It is true that it is in the middle of a VERY quite housing estate but this does not detract from the property and the views you get from every room.
