Welcome to Airidh an Dobhrain - our secluded cottage by the lochside

This cosy one bedroomed cottage sits right on the waters edge and is both remote and isolated, our only neighbours being the sea birds, seals and the occasional otter! It really is an ideal retreat, where you can escape the bustle of daily life and relax.
It is ideally placed right at the centre of the Outer Hebrides, so you can explore from Eriskay (with regular connections to Barra) to the south, to Berneray (with regular connections to Harris) to the North.
It was originally built as a shieling to house land workers, and is now a comfortable holiday retreat, with the added advantage of a log burning stove to snuggle up to after a long day out. The bedroom has a 4 poster double bed and is dual aspect. Guests have in the past told me the bathroom has the best shower they have ever used! The well equipped kitchen/living room contains everything you will need to enjoy your stay including SMART TV with chromecast, DVD player, bluetooth sound bar and wifi. The property is accessed via a driveway with parking space situated next to the cottage. There is a 3kW EV charger for our guests' use (additional charges apply).
The cottage is situated right on the shore of Loch Killerivagh, the tide rising on either side of the cottage as it comes in. Guests regularly see buzzards, owls and Golden and white tailed Eagles from the garden which features a rowing boat filled with fresh herbs for guests to pick and enjoy.
There are many walks that are suitable for all ages and abilities that offer a great way to engage with the unique landscape. The nature reserves at Balranald on North Uist and Loch Druidibeg on South Uist are easily reached with rare birds including Corncrakes, Phalaropes, eagles and much more. The dark skies are a haven for stargazers (particularly during the autumn and winter months) and keep an eye out for the Northern Lights too! The area is a paradise for: walkers, cyclists, birdwatchers, photographers, artists, astronomers, and people looking for a break from the hectic pace of daily life. Uist can only be accessed by ferry or plane, making it very remote. The island is an incredibly friendly place, with the majority of drivers waving as they pass - even on the double track roads.

Beautiful cottage. Very comfortable and cosy with gorgeous artwork by one of the owners. Surrounded by wildlife. Pond in the garden with waterlilies and a gate down to the lochan. Everything was spotless and felt new.

A paradise to hide away in

This was a return visit after a magical week here last year and it fully lived up to the rose-tinted memories. To wake up to sights of sea birds in the lock outside and take a short walk over the rocks before breakfast was perfect. The garden had been tidied up from last year and the internet was working too. The nearest village, a mile and a half away, with the co-op supplied all our needs again. This time we tried one of the boat trips the island offers (Lady Ann WIldlife cruises from the other Grimsay) allowed us to see seals and stags as well as many diving birds that stay off shore. The Benbecula distillery is now open and well worth a visit. When we had to contact the owner about a minor issue he responded in 20 minutes and sent his agent to visit within a few hours. We can't wait to return again. This is a lovely cottage and Benbecula and the Uists are an enchanting spot to visit.

Everything needed for a perfect break

Airidh an Dhobrain is immaculately presented and has everything required in a holiday cottage. It is in a quiet location but with easy access to the rest of the islands. Monica, who manages the property on behalf of the owners, was extremely helpful and our stay was all-too short.

The most breathtaking views from the windows

The cottage felt very welcoming when we arrived - someone put a lot of love and hard work into fitting it out. The surroundings were just breathtaking - being located right on the shore of a lock with plenty of birds flying around - and sheep in the driveway. An evening's or early morning's stroll over the rocks around the loch was a particular pleasure, and the quietness was almost tangible, broken only by the gulls screaching, the sheep bleating, and the very occasional car passing the end of the driveway 100 yards away. The remoteness also means you get a chance to talk to people - residents and other tourists - whom you would probably just walk past if you saw them at home. Overall we were very sad to leave and we hope to be back before too long.

Delightful Stay!

We loved renting this property! It was located right on a loch with many different species of birds to view and tides to watch. Unfortunately no otter sighting this time! The house was very cozy and clean-just right for two people. It was conveniently located to explore Berneray, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist, and Eriskay. It was also convenient to several grocery stores, gas stations, and restaurants. We had great weather in April/May and enjoyed sitting out on the chairs watching over the loch during the day. We were able to meet Ian, the owner, and it was a delight talking with him. He was very responsive to any questions we had about the property before we arrived. We would definitely recommend this property!

Nice cottage, nicely decorated, nice pictures, furniture, lovely floorboards, good shower, heating, multi-fuel burner. Quiet but good access to North and South Uist. Weather I as bad most days I was on Uist so it was good to be able to get back to a warm cottage, shower and woodburner. Binoculars and scope. Good hillwalking and beach walking. Didn’t see much wildlife due to weather but saw a Golden Eagle, 2 Herons, Waders, Shanks and Gulls.

We wondered if we were mad to visit the Outer Hebrides in mid November so we only booked 3 nights at Airidh an Dobhrain. Wish we'd been brave enough to stay longer! What a delightful, cosy wee cottage and the Hebrides are magical at any time of year. The many 10/10 reviews are accurate - perfect!

This cottage is pure delight. One of the best holiday accommodations I have ever stayed in. Away from all the stresses of life. The situation is perfect to heal whatever might need healing! My two dogs also loved it … the three of us were horizontally ‘chilled out’. Thank you David and family .. what you are ‘offering’ there is, well, certainly for me … perfect!

Peaceful location

The cottage is well presented and clean. The location is absolutely perfect if your looking for peace and quiet with spectacular scenery. Its a perfect location in the middle of the group of islands for travelling around. A lot of thought has went into the layout of the cottage to make most of the size and it certainly works. It was cosy even with the blustery wind we had on the first few days. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to return sometime in the future.

This place is top notch. We've rented lots of cottages over the years and this one is definitely one of the best. It's warm and cosy with all mod cons. The shower is so powerful with lots of hot water. There's lots of local info to read up about the area. And the location is STUNNING! We watched golden eagles, a white tailed eagle, short eared owls, deer and otter all from the sitting room window! And to top it all there is lovely Joan who lives nearby who makes sure all is well and is on hand if you need her. We will definitely be back .. thank you!
