Beachfront vacation rentals in Achmelvich

Our 3 night stay at The Wee Housie was just perfect! The views from the accommodation were amazing and could not of been more stunning . The Wee Housie was comfortable and everything that we needed was there . Jenny was a lovely host and made us welcome from the moment we arrived . Definitely 5Star!

Great place to stay. Perfect location with walking trails, a beautiful beach, and a great little restaurant all minutes walk from your front door. Our host was wonderful and extremely helpful during our stay. 100% reccomend staying here.

Pictures of the view from the main living room/dining room was what drew me to the property and the reality did not disappoint. The house was very homely, comfortable and Isabella was friendly and accommodating. I especially appreciated that there was plenty of comfortable seating for the number of people the house can accommodate to sleep. The dishwasher did not work during our visit which was an inconvenience as we were a large family group who cooked regularly during our visit, so clearing up took significantly more time than we would have liked, but once Isabella was made aware, she did not hesitate to get it seen to as soon as possible. Unfortunately it could not be repaired during our visit but I cannot fault Isabella's reponse to the situation, it was just unfortunate. I would definitely recommend the property; it is clear a lot of thought has gone into the property to make it as comfortable as possible for guest. Thank you.

The Oystercatcher is a truly special place - we loved the quiet location and the beautiful views. It was a perfect place to base ourselves for a few days of walking. The accommodation itself is perfect - every amenity necessary was provided. We especially liked the welcome pack with breakfast items including milk and orange juice - a lovely touch. Mags has thought of everything - thank you. We would definitely stay again if visiting Skye.

We are just back from a 3 night stay at Sealladh Mara and are already talking about when we can go back! This was our third stay and, as always, we had the best time at this beautiful cottage. It really is a home from home, full of everything you could need to enjoy a break by the seaside. The views are stunning and the cottage itself is very clean and cosy. The children absolutely love the garden, especially the trampoline. There is lots of space inside for them to explore too and the added toys for kids is great. My sister and I enjoyed sitting outside watching them play but we also found some peaceful moments inside to enjoy the views. We walked along to the bijou cafe for coffee and cakes which was nice, and popped up to the local park which the children enjoyed too. We used a chip van one evening for an easy dinner which was also nice. Hannah is great at communication and very friendly. We love our time at the “trampoline house” and would highly recommend, as always.

The location was perfect. It’s quite hard to find a place if you don’t make reservations in advance (even in April) so keep that in mind. The place was lovely. And Fiona was very responsive.

Great stay and immaculate cottage Pauline is an excellent host

Ideal studio apartment for a holiday break. Everything had been thought of by Katie. It was clean and tidy and well equipped. Katie even provided the view! Stunning location - it sits directly opposite and very close to the harbour where there is lots of activity. A perfect place to stay.

My wife and our 2 little boys stayed at Gemma’s place for 3 nights. Instructions were great, check-in was easy, the place was spotless and within 50m walk of the beach. Helpfully, all of the things that you need for a short stay but don’t wish to buy especially were also there (eg buckets and spades, dishwasher tablets, toilet rolls, olive oil, soap, tea coffee etc) a great stay - thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at Jennifer’s caravan. The place was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the area. Jennifer was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and always happy to help. Communication was excellent from start to finish. We would highly recommend staying here and would definitely book again in the future!

Beautiful location and gorgeous surroundings to explore - Achmelvich beach not to be missed

A beautifully kitted out caravan which was spotless throughout. Lots of local info, right on the beach. All information was sent in advance and any additional questions were answered quickly. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back again next year!

Sarah was a fantastic host and really friendly. She kindly delivered new garden furniture which was really appreciated given the lovely weather. A great caravan with everything you need.

Lovely stay at Shirley’s lodge. Caravan was really clean, beds super comfy and lots of games was a bonus. Great to have the bath, washing machine and dishwasher. Place was spotless and loved the decor. One row back from the beach and huge bit of grass at the front for the kids. Great communication from Shirley and we all had a fab time

We were lucky to secure a last minute booking at Tanya’s caravan. It was as per the photos and description. Very well equipped (I can’t think of anything you would need that wasn’t there). A great plot - probably the best! You won’t go wrong here. We did not need Tanya during our stay but I am confident she would have responded very quickly as well as given recommendations etc. Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful home away from home. We will hopefully be back again in the future :-)

Last minute get away, the pod it’s self was absolutely beautiful, warm and well equipped. Easy check in, the private hot tub was a lovely. Shower wasn’t that powerful but it absolutely did the job! Check the safety information if you are allergic to horses. 🫣 it does state that there will be horses close (I clearly didn’t check this before booking, ooops) Although they were no problem at all!! They were far enough away from the pod apart from a blink in the morning so it was absolutely no issue for us really. Overall it is a beautiful place and we highly recommend staying here!! Thanks for a brilliant stay! xx

Beautiful home and Rachael was a great host (hands off but very responsive-just what I like). The location cannot be beat. We had a car but chose to taxi most places. Even our taxi drivers were admiring the location. The hot tub was AMAZING. We got stuck on the island an extra day due to weather conditions impacting ferry crossings. Rachael was able to accommodate an extra nights stay. Although you feel very remote, there are 3 grocery stores within 10 minutes and you have easy access to all of Kirkwall. Favorite part was the neighbor sheep….waking up and looking out to see all the sheep while you get ready was so fun!

We had a fantastic time staying in the yurt. Lisa is a friendly and helpful host who made our stay absolutely wonderful.

Awesome place. Everything in the loft was so nice with a great view. We had a very pleasant stay.

What a lovely place! Surrounded by nature, it was the perfect spot to unwind and disconnect. The views from every window were stunning, and the peaceful setting made it easy to relax. The property itself was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Sarah was kind and responsive, making the whole experience smooth and welcoming. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and her warm hospitality really stood out. We’d love to return.

When booking a family reunion I wanted something very special and memorable. This holiday home is set within the most beautiful bay, 2 minutes walk from the beach at Clachtoll. Our Easter week was glorious with sunshine every day. We walked, enjoyed picnics, ate lovely meals out at Delilah’s and the Lochinver Pie shop. A wildlife boat trip out of Lochinver with Skipper Tony is great fun for young and old alike. For any ornithologists a trip to Handa will be joyous…..we were lucky to see puffin!! The layout of the holiday home is excellent with lots of space and importantly there are two bedrooms on the ground floor ideal for elderly or anyone with mobility issues. Thank you, Lisa and Guy for giving us the most wonderful memories of such a special holiday together. Heather

Ann was a lovely host and was always quick to reply. The view from the pod was amazing and had a nice little secluded beach not too far away. The place had everything you could need for a short or longer stay and a great hot tub ! Perfect for a little break away!

We had a fabulous Christmas at An Dòbhran. The croft was modern, warm, comfortable, spacious, immaculately clean, the kitchen very well equipped and perfect for 4 adults. Duncan and Shona had left a welcome package of bread, milk and eggs, also a box of chocolates under the tree as a present, very thoughtful. Great communication before hand, Duncan answering all my questions and providing information. I cannot recommend a stay here highly enough, beautiful location, hotel and pub a short walk away, easy access for The Isle of Skye and Eilean Donan. We have stayed around this location many times before, and were very sad to leave.
