Any particular reason why you're going in February Cathy?
We went in 2019 but stayed near Stornoway and travelled from there.
We stayed in an Airbnb which was a log cabin in someone's garden and it was great. We had a great time and will definitely go back. It was May when we went.....

Thanks for info I will look at it 
Well I’ve been told it’s best time to go as not as busy so not as many footprints etc on beaches. I went few years ago but weather was horrendous and yes I know going end of Feb into March might be the same it’s a gamble. Glad you enjoyed it though

The place we stayed few years ago does not do it anymore so nice if someone can recommend a place they enjoyed while there

Good luck! You could go in the middle of summer and hit a storm!

Waking this one up in case you haven’t booked yet. If you’ve got some £££s and fancy some luxury, I recommend the Blue Reef Cottages. Stunning. https://www.stay-hebrides.com/

Over the last 40 years my experience of NW Scotland, including a number of visits to the Outer Hebrides at different times of the year suggests you can now(and for a few years past) get 'good' and 'bad' weather at any time of the year.
I've seen a month's rain in 24 hours in May and walked in shorts and T shirt in February. As you say, its a gamble, but the 'bad' weather can be spectacular.
I don't think you will have a problem finding an empty beach at just about anytime. It might take a bit of a walk but there are a lot of superb ones. Harris gets accolades for its beaches, eg Luskentyre and Scarista but the other islands have some great ones too.
This is a Sunday afternoon in April on the peninsula north of Grenitote on North Uist
