Why have island holidays always been just that little extra bit special? Is it the fact that crossing water makes it easier to leave your everyday cares behind and throw yourself into the enjoyment of the little microcosm in which you now find yourself?
Off the west coast of Scotland there is an enchantment of islands large and small, strung out like a necklace, each with their very own characteristics, and each one a jewel. Unique Cottages offers delightful holiday homes on many of them, comfortable, cosy accommodation, often right on the shore, where you can enjoy the delights of these romantic places to the full.
We hope that you will decide to visit one, or even several of these jewels in Scotland's crown, and that you will find a perfect base in one of our cottages listed here.
Sleeps: 2, Bedrooms: 1
Shore Cottage is situated away from the other cottages on the private island of Eilean Shona in a very secluded location, (which does involve a rather longer walk so is unlikely to suit anyone of limited mobility.) Once there, however, you will have fabulous views of the Atlantic, and you will also be close to the little sandy beach at Shoe Bay.
Sleeps: 2, Bedrooms: 1
This typical Hebridean cottage, on the shores of East Loch Tarbert near Grosebay on the Isle of Harris, has been completely renovated by its enthusiastic owners and is a far cry from the bothy it once was. Yet the transformation has been effected with no loss of character, so you have all the charm and the comfort as well. Snuggling into the hillside, with loch views to the front it will certainly appeal to all those looking for a real Hebridean Hideaway.
Sleeps: 2, Bedrooms: 1
Shepherds Cottage is situated away from the other cottages on the private island of Eilean Shona in a very secluded location, (which does involve a 45 minute escorted walk so is unlikely to suit anyone of limited mobility). However, the scenery en-route is wonderful and once you arrive, you will be rewarded with a simply breathtaking view looking out to Eigg.
Sleeps: 4, Bedrooms: 2
is a traditional timber-built cottage with a pretty view of Loch Moidart and Castle Tioram which stands on its own, just a sloping field away from the shore of Loch Moidart, on the tiny privately-owned island of Eilean Shona (access by private launch) between Mull and Skye.
Sleeps: 4, Bedrooms: 2
This unique, newly renovated cottage has a spectacular situation above Loch Hosta on the Hebridean island of North Uist, and is the only house on the island from where, on a clear day, you can see all the South Hebridean islands and the misty outline of St Kilda, 40 miles out in the Atlantic. Idyllic and peaceful, just a short stroll from a silver sand beach, The Doctor's Bothy is the most unforgettable of holiday homes.
Sleeps: 4, Bedrooms: 2
The Bothy is a taditional stone cottage, now beautifully modernised and refurbished, which snuggles into trees high above the bay where you will land on this most magical of Scottish islands.
