“Ideal place for cyclists, anglers and birdwatchers”
I can't find anything negative to say about Lily Pond cottage. Warm, clean, modern, well equipped, it's the perfect base for a holiday in S. Uist. Sandra was lovely to deal with. We spent a week fishing the lochs of the community owned S. Uist Estate and had a fantastic time. The fishing was world class. It was supposed to be a trip of a lifetime but we are already discussing a return next year. Book with confidence. This place is lovely, you even have a view of Loch Carnen over the washing up! (there is a dishwasher if you prefer). If you like birds you will see short eared owls hunting in the day time (sometimes in the garden). We also saw hen harriers, golden eagle, oyster catchers, Arctic terns, redshanks, curlews, lapwings, hopper swans and many moor. It was like being on a bird safari! Top destination. Top accommodation.
