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”.

Cadre et vue magnifique. Logement très confortable et très très bien équipé. Dommage que je ne puisse pas mettre plus de 5 étoiles. ;-) En fauteuil roulant il est accessible. Il y a des graviers mais possibilité de garer sa voiture près de la rampe en dalles. Maison très spacieuse, idéale pour famille ou groupe d'amis.

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.

Stunning view! Lovely house that make you feel like home. Very kind and considerate host!! Love to come back!

Loch Bracadale Cottage was a great place to stay. It was cosy and comfortable with lots of interesting art works and books. The location was peaceful with a nice view over the loch and we found it easy to access other parts of the island by car. Alistair made time to meet us at the property when we arrived and was a very friendly and responsive host.

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!

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!

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!

A lovely cottage situated in a beautiful quiet location with only the birds and deer as neighbours. The cottage was warm and the bed very comfy. Kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of books and DVDs to watch in the evenings once the sun had gone down. A lovely cottage if you want peace and tranquillity. We were also blessed with fantastic weather and we were able to sit outside and enjoy watching the wildlife.

Beautiful renovated cottage in a peaceful location at the end of a very minor road. Although it was renovated more than 2 decades ago, there have been some updates, eg a new induction hob and oven, and it was clean and well looked after. There was electric heating set to a comfortable temperature for a grey damp November. Clare was very responsive to the one problem we had, a washing machine that wouldn't drain. We have her permission to go in while we were out walking and it was sorted by the time we got back. Trotternish is a beautiful area. We walked the Quirang, Rubha Hunish, the Old Man of Storr and the Fairy Glen. Rankins supermarket in Uig is amazing. Highly recommended!

Great accommodation handy to surrounding areas for sightseeing etc. Answered any questions promptly and with good details

Carole and her husband were extremely kind, responsive and helpful. They proactively shared with us informations on road closures, they also left us homemade shortbread and fudge upon arrival. The house is very spacious, cozy and great for bigger groups.

Nice and clean place. Host provided great check in instructions and was very responsive. Great location! Couldn’t have been better for seeing town

We had a wonderful time at Greenfield. The cottage provided a splendid base for our family to explore Skye. It was much more spacious than we were expecting, and we were very comfortable. It was cosy and everything we needed was there. Conveniently located in Portree in a peaceful, quiet road. Thoroughly recommend.

Kyrine was a great host and the accommodation was perfect for what we needed. Good location in Stornoway and all the amenities in her home meet the description.

Perfect home base during our time visiting the Isle of Skye! Walkable to town (especially on a nice day), but in a quiet neighborhood. Nicola was responsive and thoughtful in preparing for our stay. Definitely recommend!

Très Heureux d'avoir séjourné chez Rhona. L'appartement est très spacieux et idéalement situé dans Portree. Rhona este une hote attentionnée est très agréable.

The cottage was very well equipped and set up for self catering including a BBQ. We particularly loved sitting out on the deck enjoying the view across the water. The sunroom is also great once it gets too chilly outside. Hiking the Quiraing was absolutely stunning. The nearby waterfall and fairy glen are also nice short walks. A perfect holiday
