The Lighthouse Cottage
We had a fabulous stay at the lighthouse cottage on Davaar. Ned and Toni were brilliant hosts from start to finish, amazing and clear communication, and super helpful. Ned was brilliant at helping drive us and our things over to the island and getting us checked in, and the cottage itself is really lovely, with everything you could need, including a lovely living room and kitchen area, light and spacious bedrooms with great views, and the location is second to none. Having a whole island with almost nobody else on it to explore and relax at was truly the perfect holiday and we’d love to visit again. Thank you so much Ned and Toni!

Island Nature Observatory - Hot Tub Dogs welcome
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.

Cosy Wooden Cabin and Barrel Hot Tub Dogs welcome
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.

Self Catering Apartment Isle of Iona
Thank you so much - we loved staying in your fantastic house. The views were incredible, the beds comfy, and the kitchen was really well equipped. It was great being so close to the beach and the golf course. Really so grateful for all you have done for us - thank you for a really unforgettable holiday on Iona.

Cosy Island Apartment-hot tub No fees Dogs welcome
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”.

Collanmore Island Lodge, Westport, sleeps 22.
Collanmore Island Lodge is unreal, couldn't recommend it more! We had the best stag weekend ever here and Ciaran is a absolute gent. Getting to the island is easy and exciting, beds are comfy and facilities are top notch. Ideal for big family gatherings or any type of West of Ireland getaway. I will be back again for sure, thank you Ciaran and your great team.

Castle View House on Island - Carrigafoyle Castle
Loved our stay and what a great view of the castle! Patricia and Garrett were so friendly and helpful!

Old School House, Crulivig, Isle of Lewis,
Our stay on the Isle of Lewis was made so much more incredible through meeting Dolina! We were welcomed into her home with homemade scones and tea and an amazing home cooked meal. Her home was very close to the Great Bernara hike and beautiful Bosta Beach. It's about a 45 minute drive to Tarbert in Harris, and about a 35 minute drive from Stornaway. We saw stags, seals and sea otters while walking around the small village. Dolina provided everything we needed and went above and beyond to make sure we felt right at home, and did I already mention the homemade scones? Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet location to explore Isle of Lewis.

6* Lux 2 Bed Cottage on Island Near Lake District
Beautiful spacious house . Thomas gray house. Great location. Grounds really nice. Even used hot tub as weather was sunny and warm. Jerry had made sure that was ready. Kitchen lovley. Bedrooms really nice. Tv in every room. Games consoles grandkids made use of. Lovley family house. Would go thete again no problem. Jerry thought of everything very very good host.

Sparrowhawk island & wildlife retreat
David's place was cosy and peaceful and felt like a little slice of heaven. Watching the Sparrowhawk live on the TV was a wonderful experience and my partner and I slept very well on the comfortable bed. We awoke to the birds dawn chorus and enjoyed an idyllic morning looking out into the garden with a cuppa, which started our day off right! We'd definitely stay again.

6* Lux 3 bed Cottage Private Island lake district
We had a fantastic short break at Thomas Gray house. The house itself was well-designed, clean and comfortable and the surroundings were beautiful, with easy access to the Lake District and Morecambe Bay. Our children particularly loved the Air Hockey and other games, as well as the huge TVs. They didn’t want to leave at the end of our stay.

6* Royal Garden Suite Private Island Lake District
A truly luxurious property. Jerry is a great host, he sent videos and packs before we went so we knew exactly what to expect. Lovely touches like Sonos speakers, an AMAZING coffee machine, and a very fancy lighting set up (no spoilers, you’ll need to go to experience it!) There are maybe 4 or 5 properties on the private estate, all owned byJerry. On arrival (we were a family of 4) we were a bit worried about the massive party in the property next to ours but I can confidently state that, even though we could vaguely hear their music in the ‘living room’ (very quietly and not at all if the TV or our quiet music was on) it was absolutely indistinguishable in both bedrooms and we forgot about them shortly after checking in! The property is very large and extremely clean. Really recommend the ‘Station’ pub which is a 10-15 min walk down a public pathway. Really local, friendly and fabulous food. Go on, treat yourself!
Island rentals with beach access

Remote, stylish ‘Barnacle’ Bothy on private island
We had a wonderful stay on Davaar island. The cabin is on the edge of the most beautiful view of the sea and we saw otters, seals, mink and dolphins from the beach just below. So special and memorable. Lots to do, we climbed the trig point, walked round the island coastline and explored the caves, paddle boarded across the bay, swam, had a campfire at sunset. Just perfect. The cabin is comfy and luxurious. Ned and Toni are the best hosts. Thank you 🙏🏻

The Studio - Ballygown, Ulva Ferry, Isle of Mull
What can I say but wow x Fantastic studio with the most fabulous views from out of every window. We were blown away by it. Hubby is a birdwatcher and enjoyed every second, spotting Golden Eagles and Sea Eagles daily. The hosts, Peter and Mary were excellent, lovely and friendly and most helpful and accommodating. Without a shadow of a doubt I would recommend everyone to go and stay in this beautiful studio.

Magical Island cabin overlooking the sea
Absolutely Fantastic!! What a beautiful, peaceful place. Brilliant set up. We wanted quiet, remote and away from the crowds and that's what we got. The views are amazing, couldn't stop looking over Campbeltown Loch, watching the seals and sea otters catching fish. Ned & Toni (& Collies) are perfect hosts. Everything is thought of, everything you need to know is provided before your stay. Nice little extra touches in the Cabins. Above and beyond. There's more than everything you need in the cabins. We're definitely staying again and definitely not telling anyone about it........ it's our little secret!....... OK, maybe we will. Thanks to you both. What a memorable experience. If we could give you more than 5 stars, we would of.

Cosy cottage with direct access to the beach
Hi! We've spent 2 wonderful weeks at the house. The view is absolutely magnificent. Directly on the sea, secluded and therefore perfect for a break from everyday life. We have also been able to watch otters and seals. It is just so beautiful there. Everything we needed was available in the house. There was even wifi, so we could research and plan our day trips well in advance. Ronan could be reached super fast if you had questions about the house or anything else in advance. Thank you Ronan for such a wonderful stay!

Harbour BBQ Hut
Beautiful place and as described. Loved it. The sunrise over the mainland was incredible. What a place to wake up. Jinty was attentive. Great glamping hut. Rum is an incredible place.

Private Island Boat House, Strangford Lough
What can i say. The Boathouse is the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. Its so peaceful and serene in the most idyllic location overlooking Strangford Lough. Aileen is a pleasure to meet and really pulled out all the stops with the "little extras" we didn't expect. On a good day you can sit and watch the sun rise and on a clear night you can see the beautiful starry sky with no light pollution. Our dog loved running around the extensive grounds and we even enjoyed a game or two of tennis! If its rest and relaxation you are after you wont find a better place than Simmy Island. We had the perfect stay!

Luxury catered 4pp B&B apartment, dinner available
Wow, Wow, Wow!!! A true piece of heaven on earth! Not sure I can say enough about our 2 night stay, except I wish it had been longer. The location is quiet, peaceful and stunning; the home is charming, comfortable, and unique, your host is knowledgable, helpful and a most wonderful chef. Graham made us dinner the first night and everything was superb - highly recommend you opt for the "at-home" meal too. Breakfast was effectively three courses, so delightful. We also enjoyed his pups for a cuddle or two as we were missing ours left behind for the trip. Lon Ban will be a 5 star base for you to explore the magical Isle of Skye!
