Island in Badachro
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 114 reviewsNature Observatory on Secluded Island
We came here on our anniversary and had a wonderful time. What a beautiful place to stay. Ian and his family were really friendly and helpful when we went to the house to ask for something. At the same time we were in our little secluded bubble. With its own hot tub, a floating bridge, a well-equipped kitchen, the shellfish safari a must, visiting wildlife (we thought we saw an otter, but definitely saw a lot of seals), it was all fantastic. It helped we were there during the most sunny spell of the season, but even in a downpour I'm sure it would be great. Thanks again!
Island in Argyll and Bute
5 out of 5 average rating, 85 reviewsThe Lighthouse Cottage
Ned and Toni were amazing throughout our visit, extremely helpful and attentive during our stay. Nothing was too much trouble and always available to answer any questions when needed. The location is amazing for peace and tranquillity. The walks and views form all points of the island were breath taking, from gentle strolls around the island, walking across the causeway to a slightly more challenging trek to the trig point but the views were absolutely worth it. If you are after a quiet break away where all you want is amazing views, stunning wildlife and extremely friendly hosts then Davaar Island is the place to be, we will definitely be back.
Island in Badachro
4.62 out of 5 average rating, 399 reviewsCosy Wooden Cabin and Barrel on Secluded Island
We had an absolutely amazing stay on Dry Island. Everything about our stay was really enjoyable. The Cabin was lovely and relaxing, the Barrel bedroom was really cosy and comfy and the outside space and hot tub were great fun. We also had a meal at the Badachro Inn which was delicious, highly recommend.

Island life was lovely It’s a treat to be on an island for a couple of nights Hot tub was good Enjoyed crossing the floating bridge Ian cooked us lobster. First time we had eaten it and thoroughly enjoyed it Think you would need to stay 3 or more nights to realise the full beauty of the place. We only had two nights
Private room in Crulivig
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 127 reviewsOld 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.

Cottage in Lancashire
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 143 reviews6* Lux 2 Bed Cottage on Island Near Lake District
The best place we have stayed at on Airbnb to date. Absolutely beautiful estate in a perfect location. Quiet at night so you can sit outside or in the hot tub but loads to do within walkable distance. Loads of amazing family walks (with plenty of pubs!) Jerry and his team are really friendly and really responsive. Will be back here and can’t recommend this place enough. We travelled as a family of 4 with two labs and everyone enjoyed it! Our labs loved the river in particular!
Private room in Cheshire West and Chester
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 60 reviewsSparrowhawk island & wildlife retreat
This was so much more than an Airbnb… a truly unique experience where I was made to feel so welcome. The cabin has everything you need and was so cosy with the log stove and fairy lights. The hosts really are the nicest people with such passion for wildlife. I really can’t thank you enough for sharing your wonderful space and wildlife with me.. is truly appreciated. I’m already excited to return next year!
Home in Lancaster
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 130 reviews6* Lux 3 bed Cottage Private Island lake district
Beautiful house, very clean, great amenities, homely and exactly as shown in photos, surrounding estate was well maintained and very welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed exploring the grounds, however was surprised that other houses available for booking were within such very close proximity. We took our 3 furry pets and host arranged a secure garden with hot tub and bbq area, this was perfect for us as a couple but if had seen welcome video prior to booking would have probably selected one of the other properties on estate with a larger garden area. During our stay for 6 days we went on numerous scenic walks immediately outside the estate which were absolutely fantastic. Our only negative from whole trip was that on three consecutive evenings there were guests staying next door who did not adhere to hosts clear rules on quiet times between 23.00 and 07.00. This was reported to host who took matter in hand and was very apologetic.

Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Lancashire 🌿💚
Hut in Davaar Island
5 out of 5 average rating, 107 reviewsRemote, stylish ‘Barnacle’ Bothy on private island
A lovely atmospheric stay in the cosy cabin. Made very welcome by Ned and enjoyed having everything you would need for an escape from reality. Enclosed in a private pen with very few neighbours, it was quiet and well put together. The fire pit is down from the cabin and is set up for warmer months to sit on logs around it. Sadly it was a little damp and cold for us to enjoy it but the warmth of the cabin more than made up for it!
Private room in Na h-Eileanan an Iar
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 147 reviewsBeautiful - Shulishader Steps - Isle of Lewis
Lovely house with views of the sea. This area very convenient for Stornoway, the airport and its immediate surrounds. Apparently the area the best place to see whales. We didn't but we did stand by the nearby lighthouse very hopefully - taking in the stunning sea and views across the Minch.

Cragaig Bothy
We came to stay in this bothy with our four young children for our honeymoon. It is in the most beautiful place that we will always hold very dear in our hearts. The children could be completely wild and explore, we saw fat seals on the shoreline and a white tailed eagle couple swooping in the skies above us. We encountered red deer on our walks, crabs in the water and the loveliest sheep grazing just outside in the mornings. There was nothing better than just sitting, looking out to the other islands and having a cup of tea. The children were enthralled and it was such an adventure for them. The Bothy beds were clean and comfortable and we often cooked using the woodburner. Tom was especially helpful and friendly, ferrying the essentials we needed eith his quad bike to save us carrying it all. We can't wait to return to this magical little place.
Place to stay in Isleornsay
5 out of 5 average rating, 30 reviewsCottage & Island, Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands
This accommodation is beyond anything I have ever experienced. Enjoy your time on your private island, with a lighthouse still operating. You have all the amenities you could ever wish for and whilst exploring the beautiful surroundings, try to spot seals or otters in the water. The host and the skipper were both amiable and helpful, making our stay pleasant. My highest recommendation to all future guests - you will love this enchanting place!
Cabin in Isle Of Rum
4.64 out of 5 average rating, 39 reviewsHarbour BBQ Hut
My friends and I absolutely adored the BBQ hut. Truly such a special weekend with the most beautiful scenery all around. The hut was perfect. Cosy and inviting. Jinty’s communication was stellar and her local recommendations were brilliant. Rum was beautiful with lots to see and do. We can’t wait to come back!
Vacation home in County Down
5 out of 5 average rating, 35 reviewsPrivate 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!
Private room in Glendale
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 38 reviewsLuxury Bed & Breakfast Sleeps 4, 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!
