Great wee studio had everything we needed, right next door to the coop, ideal for exploring the islands, handy for ferry terminal.

No TV signal, WiFi signal cut out at one point. Bed would be tight for two people.

Comfortable bed, modern well-appointed kitchen and shower room.

Nothing. It was perfect.

Great location next to a shop, 2 mins to pub/restaurant and 3 mins to ferry. Beautifully decorated. A home from home. Everything you need has been thought through. Barbara was a godsend when we were stuck for accomodation after a tent disaster and changed her plans to accommodate us.

After our ferry back to Lewis was cancelled with only a couple of hours notice with no alternative route available for four days, The Toolshed came to our rescue for an unplanned stay on South Uist. It had all that we needed and, as we only had enough clothes for our original overnight stay, the washing machine came in really useful! As did the Coop next door. Barbara, our host, was super helpful which made a rather stressful experience that much better.

lacked hooks for wet out door coats, chest of drawers for clothes, bedside lights and shelf for glasses water etc

Very conveniently located

Nothing other than i would like to stay longer !

My 2nd visit there as it is fab home from home with all the things you need. A comfortable bed, clean fresh bedding and a rainfall shower sheer bliss. And a us point its right next to a well stacked Coop! Only minutes from Lochboisdale ferry or an hour approx to Lochmaddy ferry. I love to cook my own choice of food so always take everything with me (inc my airfryer).

There was various option to ensure the place was the right temperature (among fluctuating weather!), provision of things like sugar, tea, laundry detergent, etc etc, and location.

Very comfortable for a solo traveller - would be rather cosy for two. Excellent location for the hills.

No garden at the property but other than that it was fantastic!

Great base for exploring uist, our host was lovely and friendly. Right next to a coop and a hotel which served fantastic food. Absolutely recommend staying here.

Clean comfortable and had everything we needed for our 4 day stay on South Uist. Next door to Coop and 5 mins walk to The Borrodale Hotel.

Loved this place. Great location. The Toolshed has everything you need. Barbara has really thought about what travellers require. Kitchen had all the utensils you could ever need. The bedroom was comfy, nice mattress so slept really comfortable. Nice modern bathroom too. Great to have fast broadband and all the apps on the TV. There is a coop next door which stays open till 10pm. It has everything you need to make a meal. Or if you don't want to cook you can buy convenience foods. Great location for exploring the South or North . Thank you Barbara, very relaxing place to stay

Only wee thing is that, for me, the bed was a little uncomfy.... but I know that everyone has different ideas of what a comfortable mattress feels like. I was also pretty whacked at the end of the day so the discomfort was only momentary until I quickly fell asleep.

Loved the location; an excellent base. Also liked that the accomodation wasn't fancy; certainly nice, clean and comfortable; I really just used it as a base.

Clean and comfortable

A fantastic spot. Shop is right next door. The property was clean and fully equipped with anything one might need. The skylight windows were absolutely fantastic. Perfect for 2 people.

Stayed in October 2023

Bedroom a little compact. Cosy still.

Comfortable and modern. Suitably located next to a coop store. 5 minutes from Lochboisdale ferry terminal.

Stayed in September 2023

A little compact with two dogs

Very handy to visit the various local islands from. Right next door to the coop so no need to bring provisions if you are self catering. Compact but ideal for two people

Stayed in September 2023

Too hot as sky lights did not open

Close to coop so easy to shop. This contrasts with my home in Norfolk!

Stayed in June 2023

Nothing, only constructive point would be to change a couple of sockets from standard to having a USB charging point on them.

The toolshed is small but perfect for a base to return to each night after work/sightseeing. Barbara has thought of nearly everything you could need, a well equipped kitchen, lovely large shower and a comfy bed, plenty of towels etc. It is situated next to the coop so anything you need is just 1 min away.
