Oh how we love the Outer Hebrides here at Coolstays. There are few places in Great Britain that offer you the level of seclusion and natural beauty that this remote and rugged chain of islands off Scotland’s northwest coast offers. If you’ve never visited the Outer Hebrides then picture wild Atlantic waves, powder-white beaches, and vibrant Gaelic culture!
The islands, which include Lewis and Harris, North Uist, South Uist, and Barra, are known for their dramatic landscapes and beautiful beaches. Take a ferry for a flight from the mainland and cross the rough Atlantic seas before setting foot on one of a number of stunning islands where you can indulge in a relaxing break with family or friends.
Once you arrive, you’ll be greeted by a mix of wild mountains, white sandy beaches, and crystal-clear waters. The island of Harris is famous for its beaches, like Luskentyre, which looks more like a tropical paradise than a Scottish isle. On Lewis, the ancient standing stones of Callanish offer a glimpse into the region’s prehistoric past.
The islands are also a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, with opportunities to spot seals, dolphins, and a variety of seabirds, including puffins. The pace of life is slower here, and the locals, many of whom speak Gaelic, are known for their warm hospitality.
Here at Coolstays we have a variety of accommodation options on the Outer Hebrides, so be sure to look at our houses, cabins, and cottages today.
