  • "Beautiful location and home."

    The house was spacious and had everything we needed. We were pleasantly surprised at the high quality of the furniture and kitchen equipment and the house was warm and clean. Amazing views from the lounge window of local wildlife, sea and from the back a beautiful restored stone cottage (also a holiday home). The owner was super friendly and checked to see all was going well with our stay. Highly recommend a visit to this beautiful location and home.

    The house is set in a stunning location with sea views to the front and hill views to the back. Everything you need in the kitchen is there and the house feels very cosy . Parking is very good and I can really say that I would have no hesitation in recommending Lingeigh and I would certainly stay again if I return to the Uists in the future

    Everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Scenery, beaches, and good restaurant nearby (5 mins walk) if you don’t want to drive. Neil is a great host, lots of information’s available in the cottage to help you plan your days and you really can watch the short eared owls hunt from your kitchen windows.

About the location

DALIBURGH, ISLE OF SOUTH UIST

Lochboisdale 3 miles; Ludag, 6.2 miles; Benbecula 24.8 miles.

Daliburgh is a town on South Uist in the Outer Hebrides and is known for being a crofting town. There is a memorial here to commemorate the life and works of Donald Allan MacDonald, a Gaelic poet who lived in Daliburgh in the mid 20th century. It is a great base from which to explore a fantastic selection of activities from fishing and walking to diving and birdwatching. The nearby Askernish Golf Course is always popular and was originally designed by ‘Old’ Tom Morris and is popular with golfers keen to test themselves on this challenging course. Dining options include fish and chips from the Burnside Chip Shop or for something a little more fancy dine in at the Borrodale Hotel. While you are in Daliburgh you can stock up on supplies at the supermarket and there is also a number of other shops including gifts shops. A short distance from Daliburgh is the fascinating Kildonan Museum and the birthplace of Flora MacDonald as well as a host of fabulous beaches just waiting to be discovered.
