Outer Hebrides holiday cottages

Self catering holiday cottages on South Uist — a quieter Outer Hebrides base for beaches, wildlife and island hopping.

Searching for Outer Hebrides holiday cottages usually means choosing between Lewis, Harris, the Uists and Barra. Our cottages are on South Uist: Beachview and Tighnabruaich in West Kilbride, Carraview House in Kilpheder — owner-run self catering stays, book direct.

South Uist sits in the middle of the chain. That makes it a practical base for Atlantic beaches, machair, fishing and golf, plus day trips to Eriskay, Barra, Benbecula and North Uist without moving cottage every night.

Why South Uist for an Outer Hebrides holiday

  • Long, quiet west-coast beaches without mainland crowds
  • Self catering kitchens for Co-op shops and long summer days
  • Dog-friendly options and space for larger groups across two cottages
  • Ferries into Lochboisdale and flights to Benbecula (BEB)
