Outer Hebrides Cottages

Often referred to as the Western Isles, the Outer Hebrides form a captivating archipelago off Scotland's west coast. Comprising five main islands—Lewis, Harris, St Kilda, Uist, and Barra—this destination is one of Europe's last unspoiled natural wonders. Visiting these islands is a truly unforgettable experience; each has its own distinct character while sharing a rich tapestry of history and heritage that sets this place apart. Lewis, the largest island, offers a unique blend of traditional crofting culture and vibrant arts and crafts scenes. For those who seek adventure, there are plenty of exhilarating activities to enjoy. The islands' beauty endures from dawn until dusk; with minimal light pollution here, clear winter nights often gift visitors with breathtaking views of the northern lights—so don't forget your camera or binoculars! Just under two hours by ferry from mainland Scotland lies an enchanting world steeped in timeless charm yet brimming with modern comforts thanks to our well-appointed cottages in the Outer Hebrides. Why not explore our collection today? An extraordinary getaway awaits you in this magical place.
