Om boendet

Välkommen till Airidh an Dobhrain - vår avskilda stuga vid lochside

Denna mysiga stuga ligger precis vid vattnet och är både avlägsen och isolerad, våra enda grannar är havsfåglar, sälar och enstaka utter! Det är verkligen en idealisk tillflyktsort, där du kan undvika vardagens liv och koppla av.
Det är idealiskt beläget mitt i de yttre Hebriderna, så att du kan utforska från Eriskay (med regelbundna förbindelser till Barra) till söder, till Berneray (med regelbundna förbindelser till Harris) till norr.
Det byggdes ursprungligen som en shieling för att arbeta markarbetare, och är nu en bekväm semester tillflyktsort, med den extra fördelen med en vedeldad spis som snugglar upp till efter en lång dag ute.
** Vänligen notera Denna stuga genomgår en totalrenovering under vintern 2018-19. Nya fönster och ytterdörrar, nytt ekgolv i vardagsrum och hall, svit omklädd i Harris Tweed, extra fönster i sovrum för att göra det dubbelt, nytt sovrumsmatta, nytt kök med Bosch-apparater, nytt trycksatt varmvattenanläggning, nytt badrum. * Foton kommer att uppdateras när renoveringen fortskrider, men vänligen släpps inte av de interna fotona, det kommer att vara en lyxspecifik för säsongen 2019.

Just back from a magical week on the Uists. The property is in a fantastic location with the water almost at your doorstep. Great base for exploring the surrounding areas-not too far from anywhere. Lovely clean and comfortable cottage.

Location, location, location

We had a wonderful time in this lovely cosy cottage by the loch just watching the tides come in and out. The birds keep us entertained and the extra daylight was a joy. A very well equipped neat homely cottage with everything you could possibly wish for. Especially if you like cooking from scratch.

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!

On arrival and on departure … I cried! Happy tears!

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!

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.

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!

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.

Beautiful and peaceful

We had a fabulous stay here, the setting is beautiful and we hardly saw anyone during our stay, just the sheep and birds. Just what we wanted. The property is cosy and well equipped, and the shower is amazing. We loved sitting by the fire and taking in the view across the water.

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.

Absolutely fabulous!

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!

Peace and tranquillity

This was everything I needed and more. A perfect place for a writer trying to complete the first draft of a novel and an ideal base for exploring the southern Western Isles. This is a beautiful part of the world. Benbecula is an island of rainbows. The cottage was so comfortable, I really didn't want to leave.

Lovely blue isle on lovely blue island

We only stayed 4 nights, but we would have liked to have stayed longer. The cottage is highly comfortable, furnished with great attention to detail (even outside, like herbs in the garden!) Perfect for a romantic hideaway und watching wildlife. You can already see the sea when you wake up. Grocery store within a short drive. Thanks again Ian. Highly recommend!

Liebevoll eingerichtetes Häuschen für zwei am Wasser. Wer es - wie wir - ruhig mag, ist hier bestens aufgehoben; auch wenn das Wetter wie in unserem Fall über mehrere Tage garstig sein sollte. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt enorm genossen und bereits jetzt wieder Heimweh nach den äusseren Hebriden und Schottland.

Outstanding accommodation in a remarkable location

My work as an ecologist involves travelling and staying in remote locations and we decided to holiday in North Uist because of the wildlife, which didn't disappoint. We were prepared to accept that the accommodation would come with limitations and were therefore delighted that the most enjoyable part of our trip related to the cottage. It has evidently been a labour of joy to reinstate the cottage for Ian and his family. With so many personal touches, he is evidently a remarkable individual. The addition of two skylights in the lounge make it light and the sympathetic colour scheme makes it feel that three feet thick walls don't come between you and ever changing environment outside the window. It would have been easy to simply sit and enjoy the view from the windows for the entire week, with so much wildlife to see and the fifteen metres or so to the tidal loch there always seemed to be something happening. The cottage is typical of many of the houses on the island but the inside is modern, light, warm, comfotable and well appointed. We cooked several meals during our time there, choosing to limit our contact with locals during a time of Covid, and found it easy to cook, there is good storage space, a small dishwasher, a good sink, plenty of surface space and everything required. In a separate space there was a washing machine and if we would have had the need for it, a small log burner so I can't see any issue with going out of season. The WiFi connection was good enough to make Zoom calls and download and send emails. The area surrounding the house, like houses over the entire island, is a blanket bog, which I couldn't resist looking at, and recorded almost a hundred species of plants, a similar situation back in England would have made it a wildlife reserve! The slight breeze meant that we were midge free for almost the entire week and were able to enjoy our stay in an amazing location, made better by the comfortable accommodation and thought that had gone into make it such a pleasure. Definitely somewhere we'll be trying to book again.

Om värden

Ian Swain är värd

My father's family were in the building industry and as a child I learned a lot about building and DIY. I have always enjoyed DIY and undertaken many projects in my own home including building an extension. As I neared retirement from teaching, I wanted to to do more building projects. I love the traditional Hebridean style of property and bought the cottages to renovate and run as holiday let properties.
Although I don't live on the island, I spend as much time as possible there and enjoy doing projects at each of my properties.
My aim is to provide guests with a comfortable, hassle free holiday. I have many returning guests who love the cottages, the same as I do.

Varför värden valde detta boende

When my parents died I was left an inheritance. This coincided with the twilight years of my teaching career, and I had already decided I wanted to spend time in the Hebrides renovating a property on my retirement. When I saw Tigh na Boireach, I fell in love with it and bought it to continue as a holiday let cottage. After a year or so working on this cottage, I had it more or less finished and found Airidh an Dobhrain about 24 miles further south. This is a contrasting property and again has many wonderful features. I felt that its stunning remote, isolated location would make it a popular holiday let cottage once done up. I spent two winters completely renovating the cottage and added two extra windows to take advantage of the 360 degree views.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

The cottage has a completely unique feel. You are completely amongst nature. In spring, the nesting birds on the islands in the loch are wonderfully entertaining. Last season a common gull nested on the headland about 20m from the cottage, and there was a parent bird stationed permanently on the the chimney keeping watch. There were 2 oyster catcher chicks wandering around most days, not to mention the deer and occasionally the otters from a little further down the loch.
