KETTLE COTTAGE - Pet friendly, cosy Hebridean Cottage on North Uist
10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in Kettle Cottage in late June 2026. The cottage is superb. Every detail has been thought about. All the furniture, bedding, linens and equipment is all very good quality. Decoration is first class with everything carefully coordinated. The place is warm and cosy with electric heating throughout plus a peat fire if you wish for it.The coastal headland location is as good as it gets.Communication with our host through the Verbo app was quickly and helpfully responded to.Excellent throughout, I wouldn't hesitate to return."
"Brae Lea is far more than one would expect.
The location is a short walk to the Ferry Terminal at Lochboisdale - yet driving from the north, you feel as if you’re nestled in the foothills of a mountain (because you are).
Rupert is an outstanding host, and he doubles as a 5-Star concierge.
He helped us sort travel and touring arrangements as well as made breakfast and suggested dinner options.
The Brae Lea accommodations are also top drawer.
Clean - efficient - spacious - inviting.
Full marks - on every count."
"The hosts Alex and Katie are a young couple doing a great job running this small boutique hotel! It is is older building however it is well kept up and clean. The rooms are comfortable and provide all necessary amenities. The food in the restaurant is excellent. We would definitely stay here again!"
"Reading other reviews I was a bit worried about staying here but it was great. I had a huge room with a seaview and big modern bathroom with lovely Scottish toiletries. I thoroughly enjoyed a hot bath after a cold day out on the bike. They have a big indoor room around the back of the hotel where you can store your bike. Huge comfortable bed and the room was comfortably warm. Busy, friendly bar and restaurant and I had a lovely steak pie for dinner. Very much enjoyed my stay here."
"No issues welcoming hosts very clean ideal for my short stay while I was working on the island but equally as good for anyone talking a short hiking break or similar would recommend and be more than happy to stay when I return next year"
The cottage is so attractive with its traditional thatch and whitewashed walls.
