West Kilbride West Kilbride

West Kilbride is a detached bungalow on South Uist, in the Outer Hebrides. It's single-storey. You look right out over the beach towards the island of Eriskay. The view is the main thing.

It sleeps five. Three bedrooms, and three bathrooms, which is useful. It's a 4 Star place, so it's comfortable and well looked after. Everything is on the ground floor.

You're right on the coast. The beach is a few minutes' walk. The machair, that's the grassy land behind the dunes, is covered in wildflowers in summer. You'll see a lot of birds. Seals are common. If you're lucky, you might spot an otter.

The local pub and a restaurant are about half a mile away. The nearest shop is three miles, in Daliburgh. You'll want a car.

The islands here are all connected by causeways. You can drive easily from South Uist through Benbecula and on to North Uist. Barra is a ferry ride from Eriskay. The beaches go for miles. The water is clear.

For things to do, there's walking straight from the door. The National Trust for Scotland looks after a lot of Uist. The Kildonan Museum is nearby. The Uist Outdoor Centre in Lochmaddy does sea kayaking and trips. If you're interested in archaeology, there are old sites like the chambered cairn at Barpa Langass.

At the cottage, you've got an enclosed garden, parking, wifi, and a woodburning stove. It has a dishwasher and a washing machine. Bedding and towels are included. There's a cot and a highchair if you need them. No pets.
