This house is in a great position with wonderful views. It is very spacious and has everything you need. It was spotless and has good drying facilities for those wet days that can happen! Great for beach walks and bird watching from the house. We would like to return.

A lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful secluded location, within minutes walk of the rugged coast or a few minutes drive to a fabulous sandy bay. Facilities seem complete, with nothing else needed for our stay and the cottage was spotless and warm when we arrived.The entire region is visually stunning. Host is friendly and responsive if needed.

A beautiful property in a stunning location. Perfectly sized for my family of 5. Would have loved to have been able to stay longer. A huge selection of activities and equipment available to try at the property and communication with the owner was terrific. Would definitely recommend.

We loved Taigh Mairi. Great to have a spacious property for all the family to have their own space, and the large kitchen and separate dining room was very useful. We've been to the Uists several times, but Grimsay was a lovely new part to visit. We enjoyed the quiet road around Grimsay for walks and running, and it was very convenient to just be 10 mins drive from Balivanich with its two supermarkets and fast EV charging point. The cakes/bakes honesty box at the bottom of the drive is a delightful treat!Although this property is very close to the tidal areas, sea lochs and lochens, and there isn't actually a beach within walking distance (it's hard to tell on google maps). However, there are several sandy beaches nearby - Cula beach is 14 mins drive, for example. We loved RSPB Balranald in North Uist (great to have 24hr toilets and vending machines next to the campsite there), and enjoyed the exhibitions at the Loch Maddy arts centre. Further away, the beaches at Kildonan and Kilpheder are spectacular. The cafe at the Kildonan center even has gluten free/vegan cakes, which was a bonus!(note: if you have an EV, charging in the lower part of South Uist is challenging (all the fast chargers were broken when we visited), so you need to charge at Balivanich, Loch Maddy or Kirkebost - a bit of a stretch if you are staying further away.)

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.

The cottage was perfect....clean, cosy, excellent information in the cottage eg lights labelled, instructions for all appliances etc. Felted artwork beautiful. Yoh can see and feel the care and attention that has been put into making it a lovely place to stay.Good location for exploring outer islands ie close to ferry ports.
