Cottage holiday rentals in Lewis and Harris

Another long stay at Forge End has come to an end for my self and work colleague. Again a big thank you to Alea for accommodating us and looking after us over the past 13 weeks and during the booking process. Forge End has been a real home from home for us and has made a long period working away from home a really enjoyable. Your home in Applecross is real find for us and if/when we are required to visit Applecross you will be our first choice every time. Thank you again from both of us.

One of the loveliest places we've ever stayed! Superb and spacious accommodation, beautifully decorated and really well & thoughtfully equipped - it will *exceed* your expectations. With the sauna and hot tub, it's not easy to drag yourself out of the house! And to top it off, the view across the loch is utterly mesmerising. Vivienne was a great host, letting us know everything we needed and leaving a lovely welcome pack. The house is in a peaceful location that is still handy for the main road and great for interesting local walks .... if you can drag yourself away! Can't recommend highly enough 😊

Eagles Nest is a stunning property in a peaceful and beautiful location. David was a superb host who was there to meet us and give us great inside guidance on Skye. The apartment was spotless and had considerations for every situation we could think of including a lovely hamper which meant we didnt need to consider rushing around for food after a long drive. A cosy home which is ideal for 2 people and is a perfect location where you can easily drive to all the tourist spots in under an hour but not be overwhelmed by Tourists day and night.

The house on the Isle of Skye was more than big enough gorgeous four or even five people. The cozy living room was great for the evenings. The company, holidaycottages, was very professional and gave us all the information we needed. And in case of an emergency or other needs, the phonenumber of the owner was available as well. The view from the house was amazing as well and the wood stove and the jacuzzi were great bonuses. Would definitely book again!

Wow!! What a beautiful spot! Betty’s lookout was perfectly outfitted for our party of three and we enjoyed both the cabin, the hot tub, the wood burning stove and the views!!! We were so lucky to get the pleasure of the incredible food, service and ambience of Monkstadt 1745 for dinner while there. Making our bucket list trip to Scotland and Isle of Skye so very special. Thank you for an incredible experience.

Outstanding! The cottage was perfect: from the views of the three lochs, the castle, and the surrounding countryside to the relaxing and private amenities and yard. We couldn’t be more pleased with the rental and especially the hosts Karen and Graham. We would highly recommend their 5-star property!

Had a wonderful time at Sundown. The location is quiet and peaceful, but still has the convenience of Stornoway a short drive away. The cottage is well equipped with everything you would need for a stay away from home, and has ample room to be comfortable. The view from the living room window is spectacular and you can see many different types of local wildlife, including deer and birds of prey (don't forget your binoculars!) The hot tub is private, and after short instruction is easy to use. Christine is a great host, and and offered plenty of recommendations for places to buy local produce all of which were great quality.

A truly peaceful retreat with stunning views of the loch and surrounding hills—perfect for recharging after a day of exploring. The location is ideal as a base for discovering the best of the Isle of Skye, from dramatic coastlines to scenic hikes. The interior is warm and inviting, with all the comforts you’d need. Waking up to such a serene view each morning was a highlight. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy Skye’s natural beauty in a quiet, comfortable setting.

Beautiful cottage. Felt out of the way but was close to road into portree. Very warm building, bathroom and rooms superb. Would highly recommend and revisit. Visiting sheep was an added bonus!

Alistairs cottage was brilliant, a perfect place to retreat to after a day of exploring Skye. It had everything we needed for 2 adults and 2 teens and we felt right at home.

The cottage is in an excellent location for exploring both North and South Uist. A quiet and peaceful position but close to the local amenities meant that we did not fell totally isolated. We were greeted by short-eared owls, Hen Harriers and other wildlife on a daily basis which added to our overall enjoyment of our surroundings. The cottage was well equipped, clean and cosy. We will certainly consider staying here again.

The house is situated at a beautiful spot with scenic beauty all around. Away from the hustle. The turn which leads to the house feels like on top of the world with sea view! Could see the sheep from the window. Our family of 5 had a great time. It had a drawing room with books and games, a very well equipped kitchen with plenty of dishes and dishwasher. One bathroom and WC, three rooms and 5beds. We could was the clothes in the machine.

peaceful location with an absolutely stunning view. the place was pristine, it felt like we were the first to stay there. Catherine was responsive and friendly. highly recommend, best airbnb we have stayed at!

Without doubt the nicest and most well thought out place we have stayed to date Thankyou soooo much Gemma 😊 x

A wonderful stay! We were very sorry to leave the lovely Indigo cottage! Would highly recommend a stay here. Spotlessly clean, great facilities, gorgeous views and very helpful, responsive hosts. Only 20 minutes from Portree. Sheep for neighbours and the walk to the pub for a delicious dinner, recommended by our hosts, was perfect.

Glenview was the perfect place for a relaxing week in Lewis. Everywhere was very clean and comfortable and had all the amenities that we needed. The garden was perfect for our small dog to run free as it is completely enclosed. The views were amazing. There were only two of us, but it would be completely fine for two couples or a family. We would definitely stay again when back on Lewis. The location is very good for exploring the whole island and beyond.

This place is a gem. Beautifully renovated and decorated. So clean and tidy I thought maybe I was the first guest, until I saw all the happy comments in the guest book. Donald is absolutely a top-tier host. Will definitely be back.

Janice was a wonderful host as usual, and as usual the cottage was lovely! Quick drive into the center of town. Quiet and peaceful.

The cottage is in a stunning location,looking across the water to the hills. It is very convenient for visiting many beautiful areas of Scotland. The immediate area to the house was very quiet and we were able to relax. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable.

Grants house is Stylish, clean and with beautiful views over Loch Harport. Handy for Carbost 1m away, which offers a good pub, cafe and Distillery. Only 30 mins from Portree which has nearly everything you need. It is obviously loved and cared for by the owner.

Wow, just wow! Absolutely amazing place. Inside, outside, everything. Didn’t want to leave. Definitely check this place out if you can. Was so nice also on a rainy afternoon after hiking to be able to light a fire and chill. ❤️

We loved our stay in Sally and Steve's cottage. A very clean and beautifully appointed cottage with fabulous views. Easy to find with thorough instructions. Sally gave us tips for touring the popular spots. The perfect Isle of Skye accommodation. It was such a pleasure preparing dinner in the very spacious and well equipped kitchen overlooking the bay. The bedroom upstairs was a lovely retreat with luxurious linen and a very comfortable large bed. We would definitely come back. If you're looking for the perfect stay on Skye, look no further. Driftwood Cottage is it! :)

The Shack is a very comfortable, well appointed abode in a beautiful quiet area close to Portree. Views from the bedroom are beautiful; looking over Loch Portree toward Old Man of Storr. Barbara had placed two comfy chairs in the bedroom from which one can enjoy the view. The listing does indicate a freezer but the fridge doesn’t have a freezer. If you’re there more than a couple of nights you need to pack dishwashing tabs, teabags etc as supplies seem designed for one or two days only. Cake in arrival was a nice touch.
