Family-friendly vacation rentals in Lewis and Harris

When we booked Otter’s Cabin we were looking for somewhere to relax and have some time to unwind and Otter’s Cabin gave us just that. The cabin itself is rustic and unique but this is exactly what we were looking for. The floating bridge was an adventure with 2 dogs before our day began but they got used to it quickly and by the time we left they were crossing it like pros. The views were outstanding and the seal visitors were a delight to watch. I would highly recommend Otter’s Cabin for anyone looking for a little piece of Scotland to relax in peace and tranquility.

Beautiful home in a quiet setting. The hot tub was a nice luxury. We would definitely stay again. Thanks!

Great location, great hosts, and an overall wonderful stay. Unfortunately, we had to cut our trip short due to an emergency, but we’d absolutely love to come back in the future. The place had everything we needed, and we felt completely at home during our time there. One tip for anyone visiting during the colder months — be sure to pack warm clothing, especially for moving between the different cabins. The views and peaceful setting made it a really special experience, even with our shorter stay.

We had a lovely couple of days break at Ian’s. He greeted us and gave us all the information we would need for a quick check in. If you enjoy quirky, scenic, historic, picturesque accommodation and timeless scenery, this is the place for you. We have two dogs and they absolutely loved it! Great skies at night and the hot tub wasn’t too shabby either. The best quirk is the floating bridge which in certain weather conditions can be fun. It offers a unique and playful side to this wonderful look back to a time when things were “simpler”.

Roskhill cottage is awesome. We spent 5 nights here and made our stay truly special. The house have everything you may need and more, the beautiful view and garden filled with flowers, the BBQ hut it’s a great plus, comfortable beds, impeccable clean, good size bathroom and shower, close to little groceries stores, delicious bakery and good coffee, Dunvegan Castle and gardens and fantastic walkings around, plus gorgeous Coos cows! Really worthy place. Highly recommended.

Christine is a great host - super friendly and a great communicator. The house is cosy and comfortable, making it a great base to explore the islands. We loved our stay - and the hot tub was a bonus at the end of a good day!

The stay was absolutely gorgeous and exactly what we needed. The little touches around the house was very warmly received, and the location itself is a great base to visit attractions in Lewis and beaches in Harris (if driving). Asked the hosts twice for specific items, delivered to door promptly. Already considering a 2025 visit! Definitely recommend.

Alistair’s cottage in Skye was charming, welcoming, and the perfect base for our adventures around the island. The cottage is filled with unique artworks and Alistair provided clear instructions and helpful local recommendations!

Niall was a fantastic host. The house is warm and welcoming in a beautiful location. It is well-equipped and spotlessly clean. We had a lovely time exploring the islands and can’t wait to come back - hopefully for a longer visit next time!

Delightful cottage close to the Uig ferry to the Outer Hebrides and so very well located for us. The cottage has great views and is walking distance to the Fairy Glen and Castle Ewen sightseeing attractions. The cottage is very clean, warm and most charming.

Exceptional house with homely characteristics which enhanced our stay. Superbly equipped in every room with great kitchen utensils and lovely extras such as eggs, coffee, hot chocolate etc. Very central location to explore Portree Would highly recommend this lovely house

We had a great stay and found the accommodation to be warm, cosy and quiet. It was comfortable and clean and as described. Liz was a lovely host and we loved the eggs from her chickens. Seeing her new lambs in the field outside the decking was an added bonus!

Burnside Cottage was perfect! It was cozy and had everything we needed! The scenery was phenomenal! We loved the quiet location! My only complaint was we didn’t want to leave!

We stayed here for 5 nights but could’ve easily stayed much longer! It’s just such a nice place that really feels like home the minute you walk through the door. The room with the windows facing the sea is a great place to hang out, look out over the coast and watch all the birds fly by - grabbing your binoculars when you think you see something special :) Our 1,5 year old daughter really enjoyed the house too (she loved all the children’s books!). Bit challenging to keep her off the stairs but the multi-purpose fire guard worked a treat!

Great comfortable van in a good location to all the highlights of the islands (especially the northern ones). Unfortunately we were unlucky to experience one of the first major storms of the autumn. Luckily, the van is equipped with a large and good selection of films, which got us through the storm (we always wanted to watch all three Lord of the Rings in the extended version in one go). We'll be back again!

Blossom Folly was really nice. The surrounding area is very peaceful, and beautiful. The location is very good, as it’s only a short drive from shops in Dunvegan. There is a couple of nice walks you can go on right by Blossom Folly. The place was nice and clean, and is a comfortable place to stay. The kitchen is well equipped, bed is comfortable, and the shower works well too. The hosts provided some nice provisions in the property such as biscuits, and coffee, tea making facilities etc. the hosts communicated well from the get go, and responded to messages very quickly. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a lovely stay! John, Janine, and Amara

It’s always a pleasure to stay at Mabel’s lovely accommodation. It’s spacious, comfortable and centrally located. Perfect!

The house was perfect for our trip!

Donna's place is absolutely beautiful, with all the amenities you could need for a comfortable stay. The location is great, and the views from the house are simply breathtaking. We had a fantastic time and truly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend staying here—already looking forward to coming back in the future!

Very nice place. Quiet and peaceful and close to everything. Nicola was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend

This was an amazing stay in the middle of the perfect isle of Skye Scottish costal experience. We played golf across the street and we're blown away at the views. The apartment was lovely and cozy. Well stocked with everything we needed to cook and if anything was missing, we just had to ask and they had us covered. Amazing time and if I ever get to come back I would love to stay with them again. Such lovely welcoming people!

I had a wonderful stay at Pana’s place! The home was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was perfect, and the host was incredibly responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a great stay. Looking forward to coming back!

Might be the best Airbnb I’ve stayed at. Views galore, location surreal, away from all tourists. Was great having a coffee in the morning watching the sheep and baby cows playing in the front!
