Family-friendly holiday rentals in Skye

This place did not disappoint! Absolutely breathtaking views everywhere you look. Such a peaceful spot for relaxing and getting away from it all. Debbie was a dream host and went out of her way to help. Would love to return if we are ever back in Scotland again! Thanks again Debbie :)

We stayed at Mackenzie House as part of a Hen weekend. The house was amazing and exactly what we needed! The surrounding area was gorgeous and we all loved being surrounded by the deer and other wildlife!

We enjoyed a delightful long weekend at Croft 41. The house was perfect for our needs (two families with kids), the location absolutely stunning, and the wood-fired hot tub was also real highlight! Rachel is a very friendly and communicative host. Would definitely return in the future if we were looking to stay in this beautiful corner of Skye.

This garden cottage was straight out of a romantic fairytale! The gorgeous garden surrounding the cottage and the view of the water and misty rolling hills framed perfectly by a stone wall and ivy were just breathtaking (especially while sitting in the wood fire heated hot tub). The cottage itself was incredibly cozy. We had nearly gotten stranded on Islay with car issues and we weren’t even sure we’d get to enjoy this stop on our holiday. By the time we arrived, we were completely exhausted from the chaos of the previous 24 hours so this relaxing and welcoming space was exactly what we needed to decompress. ☺️ The cottage was well equipped and very clean! We had everything we needed and then some. Caroline was an exceptional host. She was remarkably responsive and lovely to interact with both prior to our stay (when we weren’t sure we’d be able to make it) and during our stay! Anyone with the opportunity to stay here, should absolutely do it! Thank you for everything, Caroline!!

We had a great time here. The location was great for us (easy drives to Fort William, Glencoe, and Kinlochmore). The home is very clean and in a perfect location. We were able to walk to dinner one night, and we were able to visit great locations in all different direction from the home. Every drive is along water with beautiful scenery all around. On Day 1 we drove 30 min North, where we hiked to Steall Waterfall before having lunch in Fort William. Afternoon at Ben Nevis Distillery followed by a gondola ride at Nevis Range for some afternoon hiking. Day 2 we drove 15 min East to Grey Mare’s Tail waterfall, lunch in Kinlochleven, and an afternoon hike around Glencoe Lochan. Day 3, we drove 15 min East to the Three Sisters area, where we enjoyed our favorite hike of the trip, Hidden Valley. We also visited Skyfall Waterfall and explored Glen Etive. I will definitely stay here again the next time I’m lucky enough to visit Scotland. Mary is incredible and a great host! Beautiful home!

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 spent 5 days in the adjacent cottage and we loved it so much we decided we wanted to stay longer and managed to book another 2 days. It was so wonderful and peaceful and property is incredibly well produced. We will definitely be back!

We loved our time in the bothy and hot tub, stunning views to wake up to each morning! Bothy was very clean and tidy, we would visit again for sure 😁

A truly peaceful retreat with stunning views of the loch and surrounding hills—perfect for recharging after a day of exploring. The location is ideal as a base for discovering the best of the Isle of Skye, from dramatic coastlines to scenic hikes. The interior is warm and inviting, with all the comforts you’d need. Waking up to such a serene view each morning was a highlight. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy Skye’s natural beauty in a quiet, comfortable setting.

Great location to explore Skye, Kintail and beyond. Everything we needed for a great stay, and friendly host on hand to answer any questions.

Alistairs cottage was brilliant, a perfect place to retreat to after a day of exploring Skye. It had everything we needed for 2 adults and 2 teens and we felt right at home.

Ronnie's place was perfect for our first trip to Scotland. The surrounding area is gorgeous, mountains, sheep, and cows as far as the eye can see. Your view out the dining room window is perfect. We had everything we needed, plus the little shop in Glenelg for necessities. The ferry to Skye was a fun experience and very easy to get to. Our group of 5 stayed four days and were very comfortable. Only downsides are the midges making it tough to keep the windows open and the rain making it tough to dry clothes on the line - but not like Ronnie could've done anything about that!

Beautiful house with stunning surroundings. Easy to walk everywhere. To the brewery, ti rhe local shop and pub and to the boat tha cross to Skye. I have felt at home. Murdoch was very communicative and wanted to make sure we have all the amenities we needed. I cannot fault our stay.

Well, where do we start. This place was the country pace and experience we were looking for. We like the country, we don’t mind the things that come with it. Liz was kind, very intentional and the home felt like home. The bedding was very firm and we had a few stiff necks, but we were too busy having fun!

Very cozy house. Everything is designed to make vacationers comfortable: space in and on the cupboards, a clothes rack, a coffee maker. Very professional. The environment is particularly peaceful. Three houses down, an inn where we spent a very Scottish evening with bagpipes, guitar and bombard with beer etc, full of people. Recommended by Joël. The food looked great. In short, we are won over and we recommend

The property is perfect! Ideally located close to the island amenities (ferry, shop, cafe, bar) but also central to all the walking and scenery that Eigg has to offer. The host met us off the ferry and gave us a lift with our luggage to the property, and was on hand if we needed her during our stay. The property is small and beautifully formed! It has everything you need, and additionally has great views over the seas towards the mainland. It is on a working farm so provides all the fun of sheep and cows grazing around your decking area! A perfect combination of comfort and facilities, whilst very much feeling remote and peaceful

We had an amazing experience at this place. We were a family of two adults and two teenagers visiting Scotland. We stayed at the Fort Augustus Abbey for 7 nights to explore the Highland, lakes and islands. The apartment was large and very comfortable, inside an old abbey and its huge park, facing a large green field. The location is truly exceptional, directly on the banks of the Loch Ness, close to all facilities. Most of the apartment looked very recently renovated. The furniture and beds were great. The kitchen table and the living area furniture were clearly used but not at all worn out. There were some stains on the carpet but nothing bothersome. The apartment was very comfortable with a huge dining table, lots of space, two full bathrooms, very comfortable kitchen area, etc. The abbey was great overall, a very nice park for walking or just sitting around, table tennis, open-air chess, swimming pool, etc. By far our best Airbnb experience. A bit pricey but absolutely worth it!

The staff on site and host were very responsive in all the messages. I love taking an evening walk around the lake where it’s peaceful and quiet. Thank you so much for hosting us.

A cosy lodge in a beautiful part of Scotland. Plenty of space and the extra facilities in the games room and pool were great additions. It is in a remote location which may take adjusting to. The beds were comfortable, kitchen and appliances decent. Would happily stay here again.

This Airbnb exceeded our expectations! The location was breathtaking, with scenic views and easy access to local attractions. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and perfectly appointed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway

Clean home and beautiful location right on Loch Ness.

We loved our stay at the old abbey - we felt a bit like Harry Potter at Hogwarts. The apartment was clean, well equipped and very spacious. The abbey's outdoor area is a dream and the pool is wonderful!

Fabulous stay on Lismore. The Bunkhouse is in a stunning setting and we loved that it was so comfortable, cosy but also environmentally sustainable. Mike was super helpful and gave us lots of helpful advice about things to do on the island. Can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely magical! We loved our stay.
