Beachfront vacation rentals in Lewis and Harris

Location, location, location - that is why I choose this listing as my wife was joining me after a business trip to Scotland and I wanted to make sure she was comfortable and we had a nice place to stay. It wasn't inexpensive - this is probably the most we have ever paid - but I know my wife. Looking over the options in Portree, there was too much at risk choosing a B&B or hotel, I needed to be sure that the stay was excellent. And it was! The view was exceptional, the property clean and largely odor-free (it is next to a fish and chips shop, so the kitchen had a bit of an odor, but the bedrooms were odor-free!). I would stay here again, as noted, not inexpensive - but not many choices for AirBnb in Skye so this was by far the best choice in my opinion!

Staying at the Old Mission House was a tonic. The house is spacious, very well proportioned and tastefully furnished whilst the kitchen is comprehensively kitted out - down to blender and spices!. All appliances are modern and effortless to use (particularly the electric space heaters). Above all they fit the bill, are appropriately sized and located and function perfectly. The situation of the house is wonderful and the creatively landscaped garden which stretches and gives access to the lochside is heavenly. All you need is some cooperative weather - ideally with some sun. Should it be pouring, all is not lost as the 270 deg. views from the house can equally be enjoyed from within and are very immersive. Thank you, Una for a perfect holiday. We will surely be back! Au revoir Ian Camilleri, Malta

Very much enjoyed our stay. Excellent location. We were able to access numerous Iron Age and Bronze Age ruins. We met with Kate McDonald’s PhD who really helped us in that regard. Her contact info is in some of Willie’s brochures. Willie was very responsive and the place was roomy and spotless. Excellent choice for us.

Diana’s place was perfect for our family holiday. The location is both tranquil and remote in the way we like but not far from interesting and beautiful places (Applecross, Torrodin, Plockton and Skye all less than an hour away). The house was comfy and looks right into loch Kishorn. It’s well equipped and there are great local amenities nearby in kishorn and loch carron. Milo (Diana’s partner) was a helpful and charming host and we would absolutely recommend this lovely house for a highland holiday.

This was the perfect Xmas getaway to escape all of the madness at home. We spent the week having dog walks on what felt like our own private beaches. The accommodation was well equipped and had extremely comfortable bedding. We also really appreciated the supply of fuel for the multi fuel stove. A warm, cosy and memorable week. Some lovely additional touches that were really appreciated. Hope to visit again.

Fantastic location and home ideal for us. Plenty space and lots of games, books, dvds and everything you could ever imagine needing for the kitchen. Heart of the home ❤️(as in Scotlands Home of theYear)the kitchen table or the red tartan chair in the living room . Would definitely stay again 😊

Really lovely flat with very clear instructions on how to get there and get in. Great location and was easily walkable in to town for dinner. The flat was lovely and clean, and had everything we needed. I loved the attention to detail such as dog bowls (we forgot ours), tupperware (which makes lunches easier) and the selection of tea, coffee and biscuits was a bonus touch. Would highly recommend and hope to be back.

A perfect 'croft' in an idyllic location. The accommodation was cosy, comfortable & spotless. Tony & Susan were great hosts; very helpful but not intrusive. We will never forget our stay. We doubt many other Airbnb hosts can offer seals swimming past the front window and the birth of a Highland calf - free of charge!

Lovely stay in a beautiful part of the world. Extremely peaceful and beautiful views of the sea in the distance. We loved it.

We absolutely loved our stay. A perfect base for visiting family. Such a beautiful house with everything you would need and more!

We had such a lovely stay at Easter Byre. The cottage was beautifully restored and furnished, and very cosy to be in, whilst still being spacious. We arrived quite late, in the dark and John and Jacqueline’s instructions made it easy to find. The fire was going and the cottage was warm and welcoming when we got there. They gave us privacy throughout the stay, but it was really nice to be able to meet them and chat with them on the farm, and learn about life on North Uist. Jacqueline bakes delicious sourdough bread, and delivered some to us every second morning - it was perfect for breakfast. They gave us great recommendations for walks and places to eat. The beaches nearby them are beautiful and lovely to walk - we were very lucky with some sunny days. I can’t recommend this place highly enough - it was the highlight of our Scottish holiday 😊.

Just back from an amazing three night stay at the cottage. It is even nicer than the pictures. We had a lovely time exploring the local area & taking a trip over to Skye. We ate at The Plockton Inn for a Sunday roast & it was so good. We had cakes from Plockton Shores. The house is nice to eat & relax in if you want to rest in the evening. It was very quiet which is common in the winter when not all the places are open but it didn’t affect our stay. There was only the two of us but the cottage was large enough for a family. Highly recommend.

We (2 couples and a dog) escaped Storm Darragh in England and stayed here for a week in December. Beautifully decorated, spacious, and well equipped. Very close (50 steps?) to the Stein Inn and Loch Bay Michelin starred restaurant where we enjoyed some delicious meals. The cottage's heating was super responsive so whether you prefer your room cool or cosy you are well catered for. The log burner was delightful. Locally there are independent shops and galleries, interesting historical sites and stunning scenery. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Would happily stay here again or recommend to friends/family.

Proactive, very friendly but not pushy landlord who far exceeded expectations. Really recommendable if you don't mind the compact but tasteful living in the small pods.

Cozy, relaxing, and peaceful. So quiet. It was wonderful. Lizzie’s place is a great retreat. Plockton is very nice but small, which suited us. We enjoyed its beauty and being on the sea. Plockton is also convenient to visit the Isle of Skye and is only about a 2 hour drive to Inverness and the Culloden Battlefield.

The Cabin was an amazing place to stay. The location is beautiful and the accommodation was 5 star. Every detail had been considered and everything in the cabin was of the highest quality. Loved the 'Alexa' Lights and Nespresso Machine in particular! Well located for 'local' shops and we even managed to try the local Chinese Takeaway which was fab too!

Absolutely unbelievable i will be back 1000000% loved everything super super clean super super beautiful house from the table to the light fittings everything has been thought about it’s perfect

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!
