Beachfront vacation rentals in Lewis and Harris

We enjoyed a delightful long weekend at Croft 41. The house was perfect for our needs (two families with kids), the location absolutely stunning, and the wood-fired hot tub was also real highlight! Rachel is a very friendly and communicative host. Would definitely return in the future if we were looking to stay in this beautiful corner of Skye.

An absolutely stunning house, with everything you could need. A great location for exploring an amazing island. Una was so helpful with any questions I had and responded very quickly. As a family of 6 (2 pensioners, 3 adults and on teenager) we found the space worked great and the location was lovely.

Norman and Leona are very friendly and great hosts. The cottage was cosy clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is looking out to the most beautiful beach and scenery. 5min walk to beach. If you like peace and tranquility this is the place to stay. It's location is ideal to travel to other parts of the island. Norman and Leona are around if you need help with anything but they do not intrude on your privacy. I would definitely recommend to stay here. Thank you Norman and Leona we had an amazing holiday.

Absolutely stunning location, helped by the most amazing weather. Beach at end of garden. Beautiful wild swimming spot, safe sloping beach. Bed linens and kitchen equipment lovely quality. Slept really well. Walking distance to Reef beach, mile long stretch of white sand. Perfect get away and the dog loved it too.

A charming home in a great location in Stornoway. Elizabete is a helpful and responsive host. My only regret is I didn’t stay longer! I recommend staying here without a doubt.

It’s a wonderful place to stay! One of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s also centrally located on the Isle of Skye, which makes it a strategic spot to spend a few days. The accommodation is perfect and very peaceful ! Thank you Mags

All positive comments about this cottage . We had 4 days here to explore Lewis before moving on to Harris . Wonderful compact cosy cottage with fabulous situation looking over a quiet wee bay . Photos on website don’t really do it justice . Very cosy well equipped compact cottage . Immaculately clean and everything you could want provided for . We were met by Tony who explained the workings of the stove and tv etc and gave recommendations of eating places etc . He was immediately responsive when we had a query over the workings of the oil stove . If the weather had been kinder we could have sat out looking over the quiet wee bay but had a lovely walk along it and beyond . We found it a great base to explore Lewis which we loved . Standing stones , black houses, Uig and Tolsta beach and Ness and the Iolaire memorial included . Explored a lot and learned a lot about the island and its history . Right next to the wee airport but we hardly heard a plane . Handy for Stornoway facilities

Harbour House was the perfect place to stay for our trip to the Isle of Skye. The views are amazing and proximity to hikes, distilleries, etc. was exactly what we were looking for! Fiona was very helpful in sharing directions and recommendations leading up to our stay. We hope to be back sometime in the future!

The most beautiful view from a holiday home we have ever seen, we really didn’t want to leave! The owners have thought of everything, from every cooking utensil, to loads of storage space, even deep drawers in the bathroom to store toiletries, beautiful cosy decor, very clean, very peaceful, just the sound of birds, most relaxing place we have ever stayed. We would have booked 2 weeks but we did a last minute holiday and had to move location after 1 week. Loads of info about local excursions and amenities in the area and also a house manual. Thankyou to the owners for quick response when messaged and thinking of everything one may need for a relaxing holiday.

Amazing cabin with a stunning view in the middle of nature, very quiet but not far from nice pubs, cafés. A good spot to start very nice walks to the beach. Will definitely come back again!

Great location and beautiful scenery out of the living room windows. Very busy in the area due to the restaurant below (which was very good!) but totally quiet at night. Washing machine was the best that we used on our 9 day trip. Would stay here again!

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. David and Jayne have lovingly restored this little house into a great 2 bed holiday home. It is thoughtfully laid out for self catering and a joy to stay in. Plenty of space, not too much clutter and it’s super. clean. Would recommend to anyone. We loved our stay and were sad to leave!

Great place to stay in Portree. Beautiful view of the harbor right out the front windows. There is public parking on Quay street along the pier, and down near the dock. It is easy to get a spot in the evening if you wait for the boat tour traffic to clear out. It's very walkable to restaurants, shops and cafes. Overall, would recommend to anyone coming to the Isle of Skye!

Incredible stay! Beautiful views all around, easy walk to local restaurants, and the home was so cozy with everything we needed! 10/10!

This is an absolutely stunning location and the house was very comfortable, and good value for money. There were lots of nice touches; we brought our two year old and there was a cot and highchair available as well as toys, movies and buckets/spades/beach toys. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed. A short walk to several beautiful beaches. Carol Ann was very kind, and responded quickly to messages. Would highly recommend this lovely stay.

Magz is an amazing hostess and went out of her way to feed us a 6 star breakfast every morning! The variety of delicious homemade food on offer from breads and cakes to croissants and jams … and I love how she introduced us to the local fare like Scottish oatcakes and crowdie. She was also very informative about places to visit on the island. The only drawback I could find was that the sitting /lounge area was somewhat tight (for 2) and certainly would not be suitable for 4 people (even though the 2 double bedrooms can comfortably accommodate 4).

We stayed in this house as a party of five (parents + two teenagers + grandpa), and found the house perfectly laid out for a group. Each bedroom has its own en-suite, which was so convenient, and the living area and kitchen had plenty of seating for us to congregate around. The washer and dryer were super helpful for doing laundry (a rack and small fans are provided too, to finish off any clothes still damp from the condensation dryer). We didn't do any super complicated cooking, but the cooking we did was easy with the double oven, stovetop, and dishwasher. The view is unbeatable. Like just something from a postcard. We'd sit down in the morning and mean to turn something on the TV and end up staring out the window instead. We were there during a blustery GALE and the house was still completely airtight and snug, no drafts or anything. Uig is a bit more far-flung (although it has a couple restaurants and a shop), so be sure to plan for groceries and drives accordingly.

Gorgeous views and comfortable, light filled spaces. Super beds and elegant decor. Highlights included ordering lobster from local fisherman and the nearby hikes. Alan and Gill kindly let us check out 30minutes later after I suffered a health emergency on our final night.

We had an incredible stay at Aline Lodge. The lodge is really beautiful - top marks for all the fires having firewood, firefighters, and matches all ready to go. The electric Aga means the kitchen is always warm, and the view is world class. We went fishing twice (caught 11 trout!), clay pigeon shooting, used the sauna, and played table tennis and billiards. The kids went out on the boat around the loch and saw sea eagles, golden eagles, seals and a porpoise. Robert the gamekeeper was great - really responsive and happy to help. Could not recommend this highly enough - we will be back!

Lovely stay in Portree! The place was very representative of the town - cute and quaint! Watching the boats from the windows was the best. It was close to the town center - very walkable. Also very clean and nicely stocked for visitors. Thank you for the great stay!

We had a wonderful week at your lovely, spacious property,. The dry, sunny weather was an extra bonus The location was fabulous. The house was both comfortable and practical for a large groug and for beach side living. The Welington boots and Crocs were a nice touch and much appreciated. The kitchen was well equipped for a large group with a great view. There was nothing we could fault, but a couple of suggestions to make it even better would be: Clearer instructions for when the bins should go out for collection, 3 of the 4 bins were full when we arrived. A larger casserole with a lid would be useful. The existing large white casserole was cracked. The Neseresso machine did not appear to work. There were two keys in addition to the front and back door keys which we were not sure where to use. A marker on the keys would be useful. The visitor book was full. We had an amazing time and would definitely come back.
