Outer Hebrides cottages

Sometimes known as the Western Isles, the Outer Hebrides are an island chain situated off the west coast of mainland Scotland. Made up of 5 islands (Lewis, Harris, St Kilda, Uist and Barra) these are one of Europe's last untouched natural habitats. Journeying here is an unforgettable experience. Each island has its own unique personality, but they all share a diverse and fascinating history and heritage, which makes this archipelago totally unique. The largest of the islands is Lewis, here you'll find a culture of crofting, arts and crafts and even some action fuelled activity to keep those adrenalin junkies happy! The islands are as beautiful at night as they are in the day. With a lack of light pollution, on a clear night in the winter you have a good chance of spotting the northern lights, so remember your cameras and binoculars! Just under 2 hours by ferry from mainland Scotland, journeying here is like journeying back in time, but with modern comforts, courtesy of our Outer Hebrides cottages. So what are you waiting for, search our collection today for an out-of-this-world break.

Inspiration of things to see and do in our cottages in the Outer Hebrides

The Outer Hebrides, a stunning chain of islands off the northwest coast of Scotland, offer a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and outdoor activities. Here are the top five things to see and do in the Outer Hebrides:

  1. Callanish Standing Stones: Marvel at the ancient Callanish Standing Stones on the Isle of Lewis, a mystical and atmospheric prehistoric site that has captivated visitors for centuries.

  2. Luskentyre Beach: Relax on the pristine white sands of Luskentyre Beach on the Isle of Harris, surrounded by turquoise waters and rugged landscapes.

  3. St. Kilda: Take a boat trip to the remote archipelago of St. Kilda, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to witness unique wildlife, historical ruins, and breathtaking sea cliffs.

  4. Gearrannan Blackhouse Village: Step back in time at Gearrannan Blackhouse Village on the Isle of Lewis, where you can explore traditional thatched-roof blackhouses and learn about island life.

  5. Machair: Discover the vibrant and ecologically diverse machair, a unique coastal habitat found on many of the islands. Enjoy scenic walks, spot wildflowers, and observe birdlife.
