Monthly Rentals in Vatersay

We had a fabulous stay - the cottage is authentic yet has every comfort you could possibly need. Notwithstanding the quality of the cottage what set it apart for us is the location. As a fairly regular visit to the islands to get a stay on Vatersay was an opportunity too precious not to take up. The cottage is on top of a hill with views in all directions - with everything on the island in walking distance - follow the Uidh road to a number of remote beaches with views across Castlebay - or make your way around the island to the justifiably famous beaches below. We also sensed the tragic local history of Vatersay - read ‘Vatersay Raiders’. The cottage surrounded by the foundations of former crofting homes - it is humbling to think of those who lived before and the thriving community that makes the island a unique place today. The other convenience is despite the isolated surroundings, the hub of Castlebay is only 10 minutes away - with its restaurants and supermarkets. Wonderful!

We enjoyed our stay at the shepherd’s hut. It was functional and offered really good value for money. It was well equipped and comfortable. The area around North Glendale is wild and beautiful. Thanks for a great stay, Paul.

Great host, comfortable pod and fabulous location. I would highly recommend a stay here.

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful house, 10 mins walk from the beach. Tastefully furnished, super comfortable beds and a very well equipped kitchen. Everyone was very friendly and we bought cakes daily from the cake hut next door. We hired bikes from the community centre in Castlebay, and walked the Vatersay Trail. We swam in the cold, still waters at Vatersay beach. And we watched planes land on the beach at Barra airport. A memorable stay in beautiful surroundings.
