Top Outer Hebrides Hotel Reviews

Snishival - a magical Hebridean retreat. Fantastic views of S Uist. Pet-friendly

Snishival - a magical Hebridean retreat. Fantastic views of S Uist. Pet-friendly

10/10 Excellent
"Snishival is such a fabulous place. Gorgeous views from every room and a prime position on the top of a small hill. Feels perfectly isolated but supremely comfortable. Kitchen is very well equipped and the warm utility room was most useful for drying off wet clothes. And if you like dark skies, and lucky enough to get a clear night, and are there during the Orionid meteor showers, you are in for a spectacle! 10 minute walk across the machair to the fabulous beach. Superb. Mid South Uist location is perfect for exploring down to Barra / Vatersay, as well as up to North Uist. And great for otter spotting at the old pier at Loch Skipport. Julia (host) was very responsive when we had to change our ferry crossing and timings. Superb overall."
