"Excellent location, stunning views from lounge."
Clean, comfortable and pleasant outside space too.
-
"Great property, cleverly adapted from an old steading with the upstairs lounge giving marvellous views over the machair to the sea."
We woke up and went to bed to the sound of corncrakes. Well-equipped cottage with useful reference library on local walks and bird life. Handy for the supermarket at Daliburgh, the ferry at Lochboisdale and close to the Hebridean Way. Thanks for a lovely week.
-
"A fantastic cottage, spotlessly clean and with every comfort."
The bed is sooo comfortable!! The views from the upstairs lounge are wonderful, great sunsets. Excellent position close to the beach, walks and daliburgh for shopping. We would highly recommend Canach to anyone visiting Uist.

Enjoying a tranquil setting in South Boisdale on the Isle of Uist, Outer Hebrides, is the charming country cottage, Canach Cottage.
Providing rustic accommodation, the cottage is perfect for families looking for a pleasant base from which to explore the delights of the Outer Hebrides.
As you approach the cottage, a sense of calm and tranquillity descends and guests can truly feel they are getting away from it all.
Inside, the space is warm and inviting with an open-plan kitchen and dining space greeting guests as they arrive.
Here, there is a well-equipped country kitchen with a good-sized dining area, the perfect spot for preparing family meals and sitting down to catch up on the news of the day.
With so much fantastic local produce available right on the doorstep, the kitchen will certainly be put to good use during your holiday whether it is making a hearty cooked breakfast, a light lunch or a sumptuous evening meal.
Upstairs there is a quirky sitting room with wood panelling and feature windows helping to showcase the stunning countryside views and is the ideal place to get warm and snug for the night in front of the TV and electric stove fire.
The kids will love the bunk beds and for the grown-ups the double bedroom offers a welcoming sanctuary.
If the sun is shining, then the delightful outside patio area is a great setting for chilling out and soaking up the views, while children (and dogs!) can run around the gardens which are safely enclosed.
