  • "Excellent cottage."

    Michael was very helpful and communication was great. The cottage was beautifully laid out with everything you could need, clean, spacious and relaxing. Beautiful views out the front with the sea, and out the back the mountains, we saw plenty of eagles, owls and more out the back towards the mountain! Would highly recommend staying here. Thanks Michael

    Thanks for booking Driftwood We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and found comfort in the cottage All the best Property Owner

  • "Michael and Margaret have done a superb job with planning, building and maintaining this property."

    It was immaculate on arrival, and they'd left a great mix of local produce. During our stay, there were problems with the ferry. Michael came round to discuss options with us, and to offer support. On returning home, we got a text from Michael telling us that he thought we'd left one of my son's toys behind. When we confirmed that it was ours, he immediately offered to post it over to us. The toy arrived soon after. We could not have asked for more from our hosts. They went 'above and beyond', to make sure our holiday was perfect.

    Thank you so much for your kind words It was so nice to meet you and glad we helped make your stay as comfortable as possible Best wishes Property Owner

About the location

ERISKAY, SOUTH UIST

Lochboisdale 12 miles

The village of Eriskay is found in the centre of the island of Eriskay which is located between South Uist and Barra. It is connected to South Uist by a causeway and is a delightful place to visit. It is known for being the site of ‘Whisky Galore!’ when in 1941 the SS Politician ran aground here carrying 28,000 cases of malt whisky. The wreck was looted by islanders who allegedly hid the whisky all over Eriskay and South Uist. With a population of around 200, it is a picturesque, hilly island. Prince’s Beach is well worth a visit while on Eriskay and is located on the west side of the island. It is thought to be where Bonnie Prince Charlie first set foot on Scottish soil and the Bonnie Prince Charlie trail is popular with visitors to the island. While you are in Eriskay you can stock up at the community shop and there is even a restaurant called Am Politican here where you can stop off and enjoy a delicious bite to eat.
