“Comfy Home from Home”
Family House is a lovely cottage, clean comfortable and well equipped. There was plenty of space for the two of us. The wifi was a bit flaky at peak times, but hey, we were in the wilds of South Uist! Waking up to the crack of the corncrake on the machair was very special, and then seeing the seals in Loch Eyenort. A lovely week with happy memories.

“satisfied customer”
I couldnt have been more pleased by the cottage we stayed in Kilpheder,South Uist.It had everything required in a holiday let and more.The beds were comfortable and out of the window we saw a buzzard,owl and deer.It was an ideal location for our fishing and golf trip and visiting family.From the evening we arrived until we left the Corncrake was outside,but i still havent seen it.I would definitely return to The Family Home

“Spotlessly Clean”
Perfect size for two friends. Bedrooms are a bit small, a small chair to drape clothes over would have been welcome.
