I have run out of superlatives to describe this place.Absolutely magical. The location is utterly mind blowing, you feel like you’re in a different world. North Uist is one of the most beautiful places on earth and the treehouse was the perfect base to explore. Kathryn and Angus were fantastic hosts, nothing was too much and their passion for where they live is contagious! We wish we could have stayed longer but we will 100% return.

Magical! That’s the only truthful way of describing this place. It is extraordinarily beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. You’ll have world wonders at your door step, but you might just want to stay and enjoy the place given how magical it feels. If that was not good enough, Kathryn and Angus are the most lovely and generous host you can ever get, making you feel right at home in their beautiful forest. I’ll be coming back as long as I can!!!

One of the most amazing places to stay for a few days.

Kathryn & Angus were super caring and friendly. The fire lit before our arrival and the gifts were a great surprise when we came in!

Inside, everything is clean, the kitchen is well equipped, with fridge, oven, toaster and everything necessary for everyday living.
— and there is washing machine and dryer available in another cabin as well.

The view is simply stunning from every room.

Outside, there are many places to go to, the beach, the forest, and of course, the open land.
One of our fondest memories on the island

I had a wonderfully relaxing few days at the treehouse, as part of my cycling tour of the Hebrides. A great space to re-charge and enjoy the views. lots to do nearby including great beaches and the St Kilda Viewpoint.

If you are looking for remote, tranquil and romantic then this is the place for you. Spotlessly clean, beautiful furnishings, everything has been thought of; kitchen appliances, utensils, luxurious bedding, towels and amenities. Amazing view, great local hikes. A trip to Eriskay and Prince Charlies Bay is worthwhile. Local shops - Coop (bigger & better stocked than England) has everything you need. No need to bring loads of provisions and stuff. Hosts lovely people. Thank you for having us :-)

Wow just wow. The views are amazing the location is peaceful and it’s a great place to escape the day to day hustle and bustle. We had our two dogs with us they had the best time too with forest and beach walks all close by. The beach’s are beautiful you can walk for hours if you want. Our favourite three were Tràigh Hornais, Clachan Sands, Tràigh lar beach and beach on Berneray. All within a short drive of the forest retreat.

This place is truly beautiful. We had such an amazing stay with so many local walks and places to see. We stayed over winter so quite cold at times but so nice to get cosy by the fire and just relax whilst admiring the view.We would love to come again in summer to see the Machair in its full glory!

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay in Damh.Angus & Kathryn’s communication from initial enquiry right through our stay was so responsive and helpful. With lots of helpful local information for us.The fire was lit for our arrival, which was much appreciated on a chilly December afternoon.Damh itself was well appointed and immaculate and we enjoyed our cosy evenings by the fire after days out exploring with the dogs.The location is so peaceful, hidden away in the forest and the treehouse provides beautiful views. Had a really wonderful stay and hope to make it back sometime, thank you.

The relaxing retreat we needed!
The most relaxing and idyllic trip that we really needed! Kathy & Angus are the most fantastic hosts and have created the most beautiful cabins! The kitchen comes well equipped, including washing up liquid, cloths, dishwasher tablets. The beautiful bathroom has local shampoos & conditioners. The bath is fantastic! The bed is large and comfortable with high quality fabrics - we slept so well! The website they have created is super helpful and thorough! This is the best cabin we have ever stayed in and a trip we won’t be forgetting anytime soon!

Amazing place. So tranquil and beautiful. Enjoyed a week in November with friends there. Our hosts were so helpful and welcoming, giving lots of local information from best walks to where to find otters , which we did. The cabins are very cosy and well appointed with wonderful views. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

A very special week in a magical place.
Prior to leaving London for the journey north to the Outer Hebrides for a reunion with old university friends, I looked at the website and thought "that looks really pretty". I can assure you, nothing can prepare you for just how breathtakingly beautiful this place is. The incredible panoramic views to the beach, Vallay island, the Atlantic ocean, Lewis and Harris, is something that has to be seen to be believed. The love, care, and attention to detail that has gone into creating the cabins makes you feel instantly at home and relaxed. They are thoughtfully designed and perfectly equipped with all the facilities you may require during your stay, very well appointed, and the bed.......best night's sleep in a very long time. The huge bath even has its own special window from which you can observe the changing weather and light, or the rising moon casting its orange glow over the ocean.....utter bliss. The proprietors Kathryn and Angus are incredibly warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about the islands. They can recommend places to go for whatever you may be looking for (in my case, otters!) and the best people to consult for more information. I cannot thank them enough for making the week so memorable and special. This is a very special place indeed, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Our stay at the forest retreat was absolutely perfect. The cabin is in the most idyllic setting with fantastic views and wildlife sightings. A real highlight for us was watching three sea eagles from the forest track. We had everything we needed in the cabin and Kathryn and Angus were so helpful if we needed anything extra. Could not recommend a stay here enough!

Wir waren überglücklich mit der tollen Unterkunft Lolaire, perfekt für eine Auszeit in der Natur. Das Highlight war der Holzofen, welcher bei unserer Ankunft herzlich einladend schon von Angus eingefeuert wurde. Liebevoll waren auch die schönen Welcome-Gifts und allgemein der Kontakt mit Kathryn und Angus. Wir schwelgen in besten Erinnerungen!

Fantastic location with amazing views which you could watch all day. Lovely and cosy (we were there in Oct) and beautifully furnished. Kathryn provided loads of local knowledge and made us feel very welcome. Next time we will say longer!

A blissful week away in the most stunning cabin.
We had a truly wonderful time staying in Lolaire for a week. Thanks to Kathryn and Angus who have not only thought of everything they also were really proactive in making sure that we were getting the most out of our time there. The information app really helped us to cram in lots to get the most out of our days. The luxurious treats and the whole design of the place is truly unique and the views are just stunning. The deer were rutting and the birds were singing. Utter bliss. Thank you so much. We will be back very soon.

We stayed here a few weeks ago and we wish we were back there. The most idyllic location, very comfortable and cosy accommodation, away from it all. Great food to be had all over the islands, the best beaches we've seen in the Hebrides, nature and wildlife everywhere. I can not speak highly enough of the hosts, incredibly helpful, kind, welcoming and knowledgeable. Very much hope to go back. Can't recommend enough.

Isn’t it great when you arrive at your holiday destination, open the door, look around and you just say ‘wow’. This retreat gives you that excited feeling, knowing you are going to enjoy every minute of your holiday. As if that’s not enough, the views from the cabin are totally breathtaking. Peace, quiet, luxury and the most amazing place to visit. Kathryn and Angus made our whole experience even better as they provided a superb app full of information and lots of literature about places to visit and the local history of Uist. They are a lovely couple who are passionate hosts, very knowledgeable about the area and willing to share it with us to help us to get the best out of our time away. Thank you so much to you both, this is one holiday that will always be treasured and we will definitely return. Your lovely island has bewitched us!
