Island holiday rentals in Great Britain

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.

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.

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.

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”.

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.

Wow what an incredible stay! This is hands down the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at, and easily my favorite so far. From the moment we arrived, it felt like home. Every part of the property from the cozy bedroom to the charming dining room, well-equipped kitchen, and beautiful gardens was thoughtfully maintained and welcoming. We stayed in the Hermitage Cottage, which overlooks the river, and the view was absolutely stunning. The hot tub was ready for us on arrival, which was such a treat. One of the highlights was the peaceful walk around the island, surrounded by nature and the calming sound of the river flowing pure serenity. Jerry was the perfect host his clear instructions made everything easy and ensured we had a super comfortable and relaxing stay. We’re already looking forward to coming back again soon, hopefully for a much longer visit. It’s the perfect getaway.

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 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.

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!

What a place to stay! We loved the scenery, the comfortable studio and Peter & Mary's hospitality. Strongly recommend staying here.

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.

We had a great time staying at the cabin. It’s great value for money particularly if there were a few staying. Don’t expect luxury but we were comfortable enough. We were not very skilled with the barbecue and managed to let the fire go out and before we had made dinner but Jinty was right down to sort it out for us with a couple of barbecue bags. I would come equipped with extra fire lighters and barbecue bags but there is a shop nearby to buy this and bags of logs. We had a great adventure and really enjoyed sitting outside the cabin in the sunshine watching the boats and wildlife. Jinty was a very good host.

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!

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!
