The Pod was amazing. Everything had been thought through down to the smallest detail and it was surprisingly roomy. Tosh was great: pleasant and there when you needed advice but never intrusive and gave us our own space, too. Mangersta was a little further off the beaten track than I expected but still well placed for exploring northern Lewis and everything else made the drive West more than worth it. I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else on Lewis (or Harris!).

I had an absolutely wonderful time staying at the Pod. The unit was perfectly appointed, with lots of nice finishing touches, the surrounding area is great to explore, and I had such lovely conversations with Tosh and Jed. They were very respectful of my privacy, but readily available to answer any questions. Highly recommended.

My husband and I spent four blissful nights in Tosh's pod in Mangersta. The location was breathtaking-- especially the cliffside ocean walks at sundown! It is remote but well worth the time it takes to get there. Such a gorgeous and magical part of the Hebrides! The pod was well equipped and very comfortable. The shower was HOT and the bed was a REAL bed. Tosh and Ged were so helpful and sweet. They made the trip feel like coming home. Lots of happiness and peace in Mangersta!

The pod is very comfortable and well equipped . The place is located in a wonderful environment , best place in Lewis. Toch and Yan are very nice people and we are very glad to have met them. They pay lot of attention to us to be sure that we have good time. We had great time in the pod.

We stayed at the Mangersta Pod for 3 nights. The pod is a lovely retreat from our normal city life, it is very cosy and perfectly equipped to make meals if you wish during your stay. Tosh and Ged are lovely hosts. They gave us some great tips about local walks to the beach and how to find the Bothy, which was a great find! Mangersta is a lovely place to stay on Lewis. Close enough to the attractions but also in a lovely secluded spot away for relaxing. Would highly recommend.

Tosh phoned the day before to make sure we were happy with where we were going. On arrival, both Tosh and her husband were there to welcome us and were warm and full of info about the place. She checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The pride in the pod and the enjoyment of being hosts is obvious here. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

Best place ever, if you're looking for peace, quiet and nature. Lovely cozy pod with outstanding hospitality from the owners Tosh and Ged. Great walks and beaches. Island is beautiful and peaceful. Main attractions are easily reachable by car. Would recommend three or more nights in the pod. So you can get the most out of your stay.

Tout en restant très discret Tosh et son compagnon ont fait en sorte que nous nous sentions à l'aise et que si il y avait besoin nous puissions les solliciter. Quand aux lieux: en voyant les photos du site, on imagine. En arrivant sur place on réalise que l'on manquait d'imagination.

La maison est parfaitement rénovée, d'une beauté et d'une élégance nordiques. Nous avons passé une semaine inoubliable avec nos enfants. Nous nous sommes promis de revenir. It is nice that people like Grant exist. Thanks for everything and good luck Colette Anna Carla Fabrizio

Fantastic cottage in Carbost! The views and accommodations were first rate. Grant was a superb host with lots of local knowledge. The property was very clean and modern and obviously well-cared for. The only downside was that we hadn't booked a longer stay. We would definitely return and stay in the same location.

Grant a été un hôte formidable. Il nous a fait nous sentir chez nous des notre arrivée et été disponible à tout moment. La maison respire la sérénité avec cette vue incroyable sur le lac. Elle est située idéalement sur l’île de Skye pour découvrir tous ses merveilleux paysages. Merci encore Grant !

We had a wonderful week in Grant's lovely decorated house. We really enjoyed the view onto the bay at any weather!

Thank you again, Grant, for your hospitality. The cottage is settled in a very beautiful location on a hill near Carbost centre with magnificent views over Loch Harport and to the Cuillin ridge. It is furnished very tastefully and very well equipped. Grant gave us some useful tips for hiking. Beautiful Coire Lagan!

We had such a fantastic time! Grant was so helpful and accommodating both before and once we arrived - answering our many questions and always on hand if we needed anything. The house is great with everything you could need, the perfect place to come back to after a day of exploring. A great base for visiting Skye we will definitely book next time we're back!

The cottage was lovely: traditional on the outside, modern on the inside. It had great views of the Loch and was in a great location for exploring the rest of Skye. Grant was more than helpful and it was a pleasure to meet him and Merlin (the cat).

Really cannot recommend Grant's house enough! two of us spent a week here in early Jan 2016 - what an Amazing place... the view you could never tire of - the fire is better than any TV! Cosy and clean, all decorated and kitted to a very nice standard- Grant has really managed to tick all the boxes. I hope we can return here for another holiday soon!

We loved staying at Niall's beautifully restored cottage. It was simply gorgeous. Niall was a great host full of information and stories to let you know the history of the cottage and the area. Would highly recommend it.

We had a relaxing and comfortable stay in this quaint cottage, a few mins drive from Balivanich. Clean and well-equipped kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, washing machine. We were delighted to find half a dozen delicious fresh eggs in the fridge upon arrival. The supermarket in Balivanich is well-stocked, inexpensive and open until 8pm, so you can easily get food for self catering. Besides the central heating, there is a peat fire in the sitting room, and two comfy sofas. Bathroom has shower over bath with good temperature and pressure, especially given the remote location. Double bed comfortable. We didn't use the two twin beds up the steep ladder above the kitchen/sitting room. Plenty of parking space. All in all, a lovely base to explore Benbecula and the Uists.

Lovely cottage, it is very cosy and its got a neat fire place. We found the cottage immediately even though we weren't quite sure about the exact position. It's the only cottage like this in the street and very good to find (just look out for the Deli signs, as the cottage is in the same Street). Niall was not on the island as we arrived, but everything worked out perfectly. We can definitely recommend to stay here for a few days. Thanks a lot.

Really great location, a perfect little cottage for a short break on the Outer Hebrides. Will defiantly book again if available.

Niall was a fantastic communicator re the place ,we arrived with the christmas tree lights on and the fire lit a bottle of wine ,provisions and smoked salmon so the hosting could not have been better. The place is great ,warm,cozy ,quiet,clean and well designed highly recommended

What a beautiful place! A place to restore your soul.

Such a fantastic place to stay, gorgeous cottage that is very comfortable and well provisioned, and perfectly located to explore the islands. Niall was a very helpful and accommodating host. Perfect week away from it all.

It was a perfect time in Niall`s cottage. The cottage is very, very well redecorated, erverything very tasteful in the right place and so cosy especially with the peat fire going. There is everyting, you would need for a perfect stay ! We found the place very clean and exactly as ist was described. We enjoyed talking to Niall, who is a very nice person, who can tell you a lot about crofting history, the Isles now and then, the story of his crofters cottage, nice walks, sights, etc... We enjoyed this week with nice local food, sitting in the back of the house having a glass of wine, watching the sunset. So over all there was nothing to complain about and it is a fantastic place to stay, Thank You Niall !!!!!!

Sue and Neil are good hosts. Recommended. The barn makes for a reasonable budget accommodation on this remote island although price stated in the description is not 100% accurate (it's £55 vs £40 stated in the description). Although it is fully transparent at the time of booking. As the barn is over 3 miles from the pier Sue and Neil pick guests in the car. There is also a chance to do shopping in a reasonably stocked island shop on the day of arrival. My only recommendation to hosts would be to do a path between the barn and the house as the grass on a slope could easily turn muddy and slippery after a rain.

We had a great time at the bothy. The place is well equipped with a very warm oven and enough equipment to do proper cooking. It was well located with a very nice view on the isle of rum. Sue and Neil were friendly enough to pick us up from the harbour and offered us rides to the islands shop. They were very friendly and promt in their replys to any questions. A very good experience!

Séjour parfait. Accompagnement en voiture depuis la jetée jusqu'à la maison à l'aller et au retour. Hôtes accueillants. Maison un peu moins isolée que ce que j'avais pu imaginer. Situation idéale entre les falaises qui dominent la maison et les plages de sable en dessous. Habitat simple et pittoresque. Poêle à bois à disposition. Bref pittoresque et dépaysant !

Stunning location and helpful host

Staying at Cleadale Bothy was one of the best experiences I have ever had. My only wish was that we had spent longer here! It truly is a paradise, and if you are looking for an escape then this is the perfect choice. You may be on an Island in Scotland but the scenery is like something out of Jurrasic Park. Be prepared to feel a million miles away from home, it is fantastic! This isn't a 'luxurious' get away, so if that is what you have in mind look elsewhere. This is however, exactly what we were hoping for and more. The bothy completely surpassed our expectations of a cosy little hideaway in the middle of nowhere and right next to the beach. It is simplistic, but there is nothing else you could possibly need! Trust us, we could have lived here permanently and been very happy indeed! We were met by Neil, Sue's husband at the ferry terminal. Straight away we knew that this island was full of friendly community spirit. The hustle and bustle of Islanders picking up tourists off the boat, and the postman collecting the deliveries. Instantly we knew this was a special place. We got taken from the ferry terminal to the bothy by Neil. We had rented bikes, and he was more than happy to put them on the back of the pick up for us and take them to the Bothy. This was greatly appreciated! Neil was so welcoming and friendly, and gave us lots of good chat. Neil couldn't have done more for us. When we arrived at the Bothy Neil showed us what was what and got us equipped with everything we would need. He was very approachable and made us feel right at home. The Bothy itself is just perfect. Everything is self contained in one room and has everything you will need. A great kitchen which is really well equipped if you wish to do some cooking. The pull down bed is incredibly comfortable. The best part for us was the log burning fire. As ever with Scotland's unpredictable weather, the log burning fire came in handy and kept us very cosy and comfortable indeed. We were never once cold, despite the bad weather. The views from the Bothy are absolutely magical, and really is money can't buy stuff. The relaxed way of the people on the Island puts you totally at ease, and you suddenly feel as if you are truly away from it all. The bothy is tremendous, and the added extra of your neighbours being sheep, chickens, dogs, cats and geese just made for some good fun. Great walking, cycling, fresh air, seafood, and people. The best place to call home for a few nights. What more do you need? We can't wait to come back.

Sue (and Neil) were great hosts. Sue picked us up from the ferry and brought us and our baggage to Eigg Organics (their Croft) where the Bothy is sited. The Bothy was just as we'd hoped, basic enough to feel like an adventure for the children, but cosy and with enough creature comforts, that it didn't matter what the weather was like. Beautiful peaceful location looking out to Rum. Lovely beaches and spectacular walking close by. The children (and we) noticed that everyone we met was really friendly. Sue and Neil were always helpful if we had any questions or needed advice. The girls loved having the chickens around and playing with Hamish (one of the dogs). Sue took us back to the ferry at the end. This was our first Airbnb adventure and we couldn't have asked for better.

Eigg is an amazing and incredible place and we felt very privileged to have been able to stay on the island for 3 nights. The bothy is situated on the other side of the island to the pier but Neil picked us up and took our bags back to the pier at the end of the trip. The bothy is comfortable and well equipped. Our children loved sleeping in the bunk beds. The bothy is close to the compost toilet and there is one shower on site but use is limited due to water supply. The view from the bothy was breathtaking and watching the sunset was magical. We explored the island using bikes supplied and delivered by Eigg Adventures. This was an invaluable way to explore the island as we have young children but the hills were tough on our legs. There is so much to see and do on Eigg, we really wish we could have stayed longer, and we will be back to visit again soon.

Absolutely brilliant stay in the Bothy . We had originally only planned on staying for a couple days but at the last minute decided to stay for five nights - we're very glad we did. The Bothy was superb, comfy bed, great wood stove and tidy little kitchen. Eigg itself was beyond our expectations. A perfect place to go for a different walk each day (Laig Bay, Singing Sands and the walk along the clifftops were all amazing). The dogs, Hamish and Rosie, were always keen for an adventure which was an unforeseen bonus. Both are really lovely dogs. Thanks again Sue and Neil - we'll be back for sure!

Highly recommended! Diese Unterkunft bei David und Jayne ist einfach zauberhaft. Es ist noch schöner als auf den Fotos, sehr gepflegt und stimmungsvoll. Dazu der Ausblick, das Pub, die Schafe und der Kamin. Ich kann mich kaum erinnern, an einem schöneren Ort gewesen zu sein. Danke, David und Jayne!

We cannot recommend the Blue Moon Studio higher. It has the most extraordinary outlook that no matter the weather you'll be captivated by the view. Whether you want a relaxing or adventurous (or perhaps both, as we did) this is the place for you. My partner and I stayed a week and, aided by the warm welcome by Jayne and David, we immediately felt at home. The studio is impeccably furnished and it is the personal touches throughout which really takes it to the next level. Everything has been considered in it's furnishings (most of which has been sourced from the island - including cushions made by Jayne herself!) right down to the handles on the door knobs of the cupboards in the kitchen. We adored it all. Jayne and David are exceptionally hospitable. Their open nature, recommendations and conversation really added to our experience - and not to forget Bob, their lovely dog! The Isle of Skye is a spectacular part of the world and we found the studio is very well located to explore and experience all that there was. We managed to pack a fair bit in during our week but we departed reluctantly as the island (and the outer Hebrides which we also want to discover) have so much more to offer. Thank you Jayne and David, we will be back!

Very nice host, we got cookies and wine for welcoming. Nice view nice house nice style. Prefect!

David and Jayne were great hosts - although the cabin is completely separate from their house we felt very welcome. The studio is in the most beautiful spot, and we can't recommend it highly enough, for all the amazing views on Skye this is one of the best. They have furnished it with items from around the island which is a lovely touch, and the fire makes it a cosy space to spend the evenings. We can't wait to come back.

Beautiful views, peaceful, and heart warming stay.

My wife and I spent the Xmas break at the blue moon studio. We can't thank David and Jayne more. The place is spectacular, comfy, well decorated, modern and has such a spectacular view to wake up to. Also, Jayne popped some presents under an Xmas tree which was very sweet. Highly recommend if you are wanting somewhere quiet to get away too. Skye sights are not that long a drive away either. Thanks again David and Jayne

David and Jayne have created a wonderful little haven for a very relaxing romantic break. The studio itself is faultless, every minor detail has been thought of and the layout and decor just adds to the ease of the stay. We (my partner and I) had our first ever stay on Skye in the studio and it really was lovely. Most of our plans went out of the window just daydreaming out to sea - the view is incredible!! It couldn't have been a nicer setting on the island and David and Jayne are most accommodating. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this fantastic home from home and hope to come back in the future :)

We had an absolutely amazing stay with David and Jayne in their studio. We were greeted with hugs, smiles, and a genuine desire to make our stay the best. The studio was out of this world beautiful. It felt like home immediately, was clean and open, and had breathtaking views. We hope to be back!

I'm on a big trip of Scotland with my parents and this cosy and comfortable cottage is my mums favorite so far. The location is also great and the garden would have been lovely to sit in if the weather was warmer.

A very nice place to stay. Close to town center and very responsible host

Rhona gave us a wonderful welcome.We had everything we needed and more.We loved it and having books and DVD 's to watch was great including Scottish (URL HIDDEN) felt like home for our stay .

I highly recommend Rhona's place for anyone visiting Portree. Excellent location, walking distance to the harbor, shops and restaurants. Her condo was very spacious, clean and comfortable. There is even a nice little patio to relax on after a day of hiking and exploring the surrounding area. Rhona was a fantastic host, easy to communicate with and super quick with responses. The scenery, place and host were amazing and I hope to be lucky enough to return someday for another visit. If you are looking for a great place to stay in Portree, stay here. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

A lovely little cottage situated a stones throw away from the town square. Perfect spot for a adventure getaway with great hikes in the area.

Rhona's house is very close to the center of Portree, which is absolutely excellent to explore the city and its surroundings and to just pop out at night to have a beer or two. Its well equipped and the fireplace was a real surplus. If the wheather had been better, the garden would have enjoied us too. Running out of electricity created a bit of a hassle and fortunately for us, Rhona was just at her second flat at Portree and not at Loch Lomond. She solved the problem and our dinner was superb, the stuff in the fridge was safe and the laundry could be finished. Thank you very much.

Very good experience. We cooked by ourselves and enjoy the good view in the garden. Though the weather wasn't very well, we had a good time in there.

We are a family of two adults and two children and we had a great time at Rhona's house. The atmosphere is pleasant, clean house and well equipped. The area is very central and convenient for exploring the island. We strongly recommend the place.

A very picturesque location. John was helpful and a great host. The yurt was really nice and cosy and the communal blackhouse provided an opportunity to chat to the other guests. We had a great time.

We stayed in one of John's yurts. Adrian showed us around the place, he was friendly and welcoming. It was a lovely and comfy night. We enjoyed the wood burner and views from the yurt. Would stay again.

Good

John made everything easy, although the phone signal on the island isn't great, he contacted us in plenty of time to prepare for our arrival. The location is beautiful, right on the waters edge and all amenities were excellent. John was helpful and informative and we would recommend this place, and would definitely stay again.

Lovely yurt experience! Location is gorgeous and the yurt is roomy but toasty, and very clean. The fireplace is warm enough to heat the yurt; our wood was damp but by stacking it around the burner to dry we made it work. The facilities too are all clean and rather picturesque! We were generously provided with a fresh loaf and some eggs which we happily devoured for our breakfast. John and Adrian were very easy to speak to and available if we needed them for anything. Wish we could have stayed longer!

A fantastic experience, yurt has all you need to stay, cooking, heating and futon, suggest bring all own bedding. John showed us round and made us feel welcome, any questions were no problem. A great community spirit at the obvious meeting place down at the lochside

An incredible location that the pictures cannot do justice too! Well equipped Yurts - the perfect escape from every day life.

The Isle of Harris.....what a delight, and Lickisto Blackhouse is in a beautiful location. Staying in the yurt was an adventure. We were warmly welcomed and given a thorough tour of the facilities. The weather was wonderful as (URL HIDDEN) fortunate! Mary

Super host gold medal!!!! Nice room and living room, good breakfast, bad weather :( but Mayanne make you feel at home!!

Mayenne ist eine ausgezeichnete Gastgeberin. Ihr Haus liegt wunderschön am Loch Dunvegan. Wir hatten alles, was man für einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt braucht und sind sehr dankbar für die schöne Zeit, die wir, ausgestattet mit den besten Tipps, auf der Isle of Skye erleben durften.

Mayanne's place was very clean, quiet, and very easy to locate. Mayanne was very helpful and and knowledgeable and the view from our window at any time was more than relaxing and peaceful.

Really great room with beautiful views. Lovely hot shower and a filling breakfast. Need an extra blanket in the winter but wouldn't stop me going back again! Great place to stay.

Mayanne's place is great - clean and cozy. She is a very welcoming and attentive host. We felt right at home. The view in the morning of the loch is breathtaking. She is is lucky to live in such a beautiful place. We would recommend a stay here to anyone passing through the area. And breakfast is wonderful!

We stayed just one night at Mayanne's place, but we will keep it in a very good memory. She is a fantastic host. She was friendly and helpful, but you still get plenty of privacy during the stay. The restaurant she recommended was excellent, try the seafood!!!

Mayanne was a great host. We had a room for three people which was very nice. The delicous breakfast was a good start to the day. After hiking in the rain we especially enjoyed the warm stove in the living room to warm up again. Thanks!

Amazing experience, great location, warm and cozy fire! Would stay again in the future and high scores are totally justified!

Great to find this 'wee gem'...Scott and Nadia were easy to communicate with pre-trip and what they've done with the place is so refreshing and thoughtful - proper glamping for the luxurious camper! Close to the spectacular Neist point and two of the best restaurants on Skye, its a great spot. First time I've had brekkie with hens sitting on my feet too. We're a couple in our 30s and loved it. We'll be back.

Scott and Nadia have a beautiful spot. The tent was cozy with hot water bottles, and the hub was a great communal space for dinner. The shower was gorgeous! Definitely a unique experience :)

Wonderful location, warm and peaceful stay. Super comfortable bed inside the (huge) tent, warm blanket that keeps you warm. Lots of space. Exactly what the description promises with added extras of maps and directions for Skye available for guests. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious off-the-grid stay.

My husband and I stayed here three nights, and had a lovely time. The tents are well-spaced to ensure privacy, and the setting is beautiful. There were a few drawbacks: no towels were provided, the tent smelled a little odd, and there was no WiFi and no telephone reception, which made trip planning difficult. We also found that during the month of July, the Talisker Distillery had to be booked a day in advance, and restaurants in the nearest town were equally overbooked. However, the setting is lovely and private. The different communal buildings are artsy and fun. We also had a lovely walk on an old road to the ocean from the tent. I would recommend it, but come prepared.

I booked 2 nights for my friends, at first I thought they might not like it, cause it was quite cold at night in May.. Surprisedly they loved it! We had a happy time there!

I had a wonderful stay. Very clean and comfortable. Hosts were very warm and helpful. I would gladly stay here again!

Regardless of the weather, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nadia's & Scott's 'glamour camp'. The site is new but already well functioning and we loved N&S's eco vision for the place! They've worked incredibly hard to make the place cosy and welcoming - and we sense that their journey will continue from strength to strength. We look forward to visiting again :-) And, we miss the entertainment and glorious eggs provided by the Chickens!!

Scott greeted us at the site and showed us how everything worked and where to find things. We met the chickens and got to eat their eggs both mornings we were there! He also gave us lots of suggestions for walks on Skye, including one to a black sand beach nearby. The beds were very comfy and the covers wonderfully warm so no heat in the tent was not a problem. The tent was huge and well set up, and spaced nicely away from the other two. The composting toilet was clean and inviting! And walking there at night wasn't a problem: solar pepples in the gravel walkway lit the way. the show was hot and clean and decorated with growing plants. Kitchen facilities were very complete. And the setting was gorgeous!
