Island vacation rentals in British Isles

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!

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.

We spent one night on the kingdom of Islonia and wish we could have spent longer there! The cabins are so cosy and well equipped, and the location is incredible and so unique. We will definitely come back here next year!

Fiona’s place was ideal for us. It was our first time staying towards the west side of the island and we enjoyed the wee walk into the village and back each day. There were fabulous views from every window. The apartment was large, modern, well appointed and well maintained. Thanks to Fiona and her husband for looking after us extremely well.

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.

Loved our stay and what a great view of the castle! Patricia and Garrett were so friendly and helpful!

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.

Very modern, everything new and tidy, very clean, the location is very quiet, but by car you can quickly drive to pubs and restaurants. We recommend it to everyone.

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.

We enjoyed a long weekend at Thomas Gray with 4 adults and a dog. We were blessed with glorious sunshine so spent most of the time out and about. There are beautiful walks nearby with the dog. The local picnic spot has a cafe open Fri, sat, sun, great for brekky & a cuppa! Jerry & the team were very responsive.

honestly the most amazing place. it exceeded our expectations and can not recommend this place enough. The owner was so flexible for us and was so understanding. the place is stunning. please don't miss the opportunity to go

A very memorable stay in such a unique location. Ned and Toni could not have been better hosts, they made arriving on the island easy. We swam, did some fishing, spotted lots of wildlife and marine life. Sitting around the fire pit was a highlight in the evenings. The place was really well equipped, they have thought of everything! Our dog also had a great time of course.

What can I say about this place that will do it justice! What an incredible stay, as soon as Ned picked us up to take us across to Davaar Island we knew we had made the best choice for our stay. Ned was really friendly and welcoming, telling us all we needed to know for our stay and more. The cabin was spotless and has everything you need and things you didn't realise you needed (I didn't have the binoculars out of my hands for more than 5 minutes) Ned told us what wildlife to look out for and we weren't disappointed. We seen an otter, dozens of different bird species (seeing and hearing the Gannett's hit the water was a constant buzz) the Highland Cows, the Seal that seemed to live just outside the cabin and finally seeing a pod of porpoise swim past our balcony, wow. Ned told us we could attempt to catch a lobster and showed us the pots but did warn us that it's highly unlikely...on our last night we ate steak and a fresh LOBSTER! Thank you for having us and we will be coming back x

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!

Absolutely stunning location everybody was friendly the shop was well stocked you really need not want for anything. The hut was cosy and exactly as described . plenty of walks from close by to further afield. the addition of a USB charger and light was an added bonus for keeping those power banks charged for picture taking etc. plenty of wildlife to be seen on your doorstep stargazing ! again does not disappoint. Jinty was very helpful host and her digs top notch. I would definitely recommend and would come back again. ideal for relaxation and hustle and bustle.

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!

This place feels like the edge of the world, and it’s totally worth it. The rooms are beautiful, very comfortable and the breakfast was superb. Graham is an exceptional host and extremely helpful. We were here two nights and would happily have stayed longer. 100% recommend.
