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.

This place is stunning. The views are incredible. Truly incredible. It was just my wife and I so it was huge for us. But it was a very large space if a large group. WiFi was great. Cute sheep right there in the backyard. I cannot recommend this place enough. We did not use the hot tub so not sure about that. My only warning is take care on the 15-20 minute road there on the single track. Some lethal potholes that if you hit just right would blow a tire.

An unbelievable and unique place to stay. The barrel was warm and very comfortable (even for my 6’4 husband), the cabin and deck was the perfect for outside/inside living, the bathroom was clean with a warm shower and the hot tub was magical. The stay was everything we hoped it would be and more, thank you King Ian and Queen Jess!

Dry Island is totally unique. We were blessed with the most amazing weather during our stay - so walking over the floating bridge was like walking to another world. Amazing views every way you look. Ian the host is very easy to communicate with and helpful. We were with a family group staying elsewhere in the area, and so didn’t take advantage of a shellfish safari - which would be great.

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.

We had a perfect relaxing stay and weather was so nice as well spent hours just chilling in the hot tub absolutely heaven

This is the best Airbnb ever. We absolutely loved it. Comfort and quality throughout. Very nice checking in with David and his local knowledge. Seriously fantastic.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at Angela’s place. It was actually nicer than in the photos! There is a lovely view over the countryside from the living room window. We felt very comfortable and it was about a 10 minute walk into town (a little longer on the way back as it’s uphill!). We were blessed with lovely weather and were able to eat outside at the picnic table one night. There is also a table and chairs inside and the kitchen is well equipped. The sofa was comfortable, as was the bed and everything was clean. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

absolutely beautiful area. plenty of space for kids and dog in garden. sheep visiting often regardless of the gate being closed. house comfy and cozy and warm. bathroom was stunning and plenty of hot water.

We had a great week in Alison's cottage and were fortunate to have warm, sunny weather all week. There's lots to do in the area. We went across to Skye several times. Alison was a great host, always responsive and helpful.

Beyond amazing. Our first time on Sky for more than a day. The view was great all round. Have already booked for next year.

This cottage is perfect for those who may want to get away for some peace and quiet in a beautiful Scottish Highlands setting. Alistair is an amazing host, with a warm and welcoming personality. He made us feel right at home. and could not have been more accommodating.

Very comfortable clean place to stay. Great views. Easy access to whole area and good local amenities e.g. supermarkets and bakery/butchers within 10 min drive.

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.

We loved everything! So close and convenient to all areas in Skye! Loved being able to walk to the Inn and bar Great views of the Cullin mountains!!! Highly recommend and would stay here again if we return to Skye!! Beautiful

We loved it! The stone cottage was as beautiful as the surroundings and very comfortable. The beds were very comfortable and everything was top quality. We ate at The Bistro as recommended and had one of our best meals ever! Can’t wait to visit again and would definitely stay here!

Beautiful house and location, next to a stream, set in woodland and much bigger than we expected. The beds were super comfortable and there was everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. Maggie popped in to see us on arrival and on the day we left just to say there was no rush to check out for 10.00am. She had even turned on the heating as although we were visiting in May, the weather had turned cold. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

Etta's cottage is absolutely STUNNING. Beautiful! Spotless and spacious, warm and cozy. Extremely peaceful and serene. Honestly, my husband and I joked about making an offer to buy it. 🤣 Etta also left milk, orange juice, croissants, and butter to get us started for breakfast. As far as location, it is conveniently located within reasonable distance to Portree. There, we found groceries and restaurants, as well as a few gift shops. Just be sure to make sure you don't need reservations for dinner! The cottage is also only about 40 minutes from the Fairy Pools and 40 to 50 to Storr, Fairy Glen, Quiraing, and An Corran Beach (dinosaur footprints). We hope to make this our go-to for lodging in Skye in the future. Thank you, Etta!

I really can’t even describe how much we loved this place! I want to go back and stay for weeks. Originally we had thought to stay in portree and decided to get away a bit instead and I’m so glad we did! The house is beyond beautiful, way better than the photos. You can see sheep grazing out the windows! Super quiet and peaceful….great location for exploring Skye.

Our first trip to the Island of Skye and what a stunning place! The view from Rhundunan was spectacular and the accommodation was clean, beautifully furnished and equipped with everything we needed - including binoculars to view the local wildlife. The bed was comfortable and the bedding was crisp and clean. Juliet was so helpful and warned us before we arrived that the island relied heavily on Co-op supplies and due to their cyber breach we might need to visit a supermarket on our way through the mainland, rather than rely on supplies being available when we reached Skye. I was very grateful that she had alerted me because even the independent shops were being impacted at the time of our visit. Our time flew by and I really didn't want to leave. I would certainly love to go back again and would love to stay at Rhundunan again too. Thank you Juliet.

Highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet and cozy place in the area. The cottage is very charming and authentic! Ian & Linda are super welcoming and friendly hosts!

Rachel and Colin's guest suite was the perfect place to spend while visiting Skye. it was immaculately clean and exactly as described. The view pictured was everything and more. My wife and I often spent the evenings watching the sunset over their sheep. The walking distance to a nearby cafe was a huge bonus. The hosts were very responsive and flexible. They did so much to make us feel welcome. I would highly recommend their place to anyone looking for a place to stay while in Skye.

Had a lovely two nights at the pod. It’s in an amazing location, very close to the Quiraing and Old Man of Storr. Stunning views of the ocean, rolling hills, and lots of farm animals from the porch. Had all the amenities you could need. Very comfy bed and couch. Spend some time at An Corran Beach - it was my favorite! Thank you, Angus!
