Stunning 1 Bedroom home in Elie
Fantastic stay in a beautiful location- everything as described and an incredible view! Will definitely return

Gorgeous country apartment w/ hot tub & log burner
Our stay lived up to high expectations. Ainslie went over and above with decorations for my boyfriend’s birthday; welcome notes; homemade cake; fizz and ice in the fridge. She was warm and welcoming, and we felt completely relaxed. So grateful for such a lovely stay in a beautiful area. We will definitely be back! Thank you Ainslie 🥰🤩🥳

Bluebell Cottage Glencoe with Hot Tub
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!

Eagle's Rest, Geary, Isle of Skye
Eagles Nest is a stunning property in a peaceful and beautiful location. David was a superb host who was there to meet us and give us great inside guidance on Skye. The apartment was spotless and had considerations for every situation we could think of including a lovely hamper which meant we didnt need to consider rushing around for food after a long drive. A cosy home which is ideal for 2 people and is a perfect location where you can easily drive to all the tourist spots in under an hour but not be overwhelmed by Tourists day and night.

Waterfall Cottage
We loved our stay in the waterfall cottage! It was a perfect place for our newlywed destination to kick off our honeymoon. The view is stunning and we loved drinking our morning coffee in the back porch taking it all in. The inside is very cozy and we cooked many meals in the kitchen which was well appointed. There are other lodgings directly adjacent to the property but fortunately were all vacant otherwise it would have been less private than expected. This is listed as a detached cottage, but a wall is directly shared with a cottage next door technically making this a duplex. A bit misleading but all good since it was vacant for our stay. Nina was responsive to all our questions which we appreciated. We loved Loch Tay, the Crannog Center, and Aberfeldy nearby. While there are no direct signs to get to the lochside, there are paths down to the loch through the gate or nearby boathouse lodge entrance from the road to walk down to see the water.

Coastal cottage with stunning view.
We had a wonderful stay with my family at this historic cottage. Especially loved the easy access to the Fife Coastal Path that we walked daily into Burntisland or Aberdour. Excellent hosts as well. Thank you for your hospitality, we would highly recommend this property!

Pentland Hills cottage hideaway
Had a lovely stay at this cottage . Near to Edinburgh as my son was doing the marathon but in a lovely location . Kylie was response to our messages and a lovely homemade loaf gave that extra touch for our arrival . Would definitely recommend and stay again .

Luxury Highland Haven with Hot Tub by Loch Ness
Amazing place, lots of things to do in the area. 10 minutes from location to city centre. Definitely recommended!

The Steading, Melvich
The Steading ist eine traumhafte Unterkunft, um ein oder mehrere Tage in Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit zu verbringen. Melvich Beach ist zu Fuß erreichbar, an dem wir einen wunderschönen Nachmittag verbracht haben. Jacqueline war eine perfekte Gastgeberin! Wir haben uns unglaublich wohl gefühlt.

Traditional Scottish cottage in Highland glen
We booked for a last minute get away and Tim & Judy’s place did not disappoint! The cottage was gorgeous and Tim was very helpful in getting us settled - peanuts were set right outside the kitchen window and we had red squirrels within minutes! Lots more bird watching was done throughout our stay :)) The fire and heaters kept us cosy, and the kitchen was well equipped. Will be returning soon hopefully!

The Steading @braighbhaille
We had a fantastic stay at this cozy countryside cottage. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the cottage had all the equipment we could possibly need — from kitchen essentials to comfortable bedding and even thoughtful little extras. The location is perfect if you’re looking to relax and unwind in beautiful natural surroundings. We enjoyed the fresh air and the calm of the countryside. The host clearly put a lot of love into the place, with plenty of charming details that made it feel both homey and special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet, well-equipped escape in a lovely setting!

The Nook Cottage In The Heart Of Northumberland
Nook Cottage is a beautifully presented cottage with all that’s needed for a short stay. The quality of the cottage is superb and had all we needed. Brynne and John are fantastic hosts; there are excellent guides and notes produced by them in the cottage plus information on activities and attractions throughout the area, including extensive notes on restaurants and local produce shops. We went on numerous walks; the cottage is ideally located for some of the best preserved parts of Hadrian’s wall and so many choices for exploring that part of our history from here. Brynne and John have provided dozens of books in the cottage for leisure reading and information, with their guides and the books one would never be short of inspiration for any activities. We would strongly recommend Nook cottage, a great place to stay.

Two Stags Cottage
Eine kleine Perle, total ruhig & auf einem wunderschönen, natürlichen Anwesen am äussersten Zipfel von Skye, wie es nicht besser zu der Insel passen könnte! ich habe mich sehr willkommen & sofort Zuhause gefühlt! Ganz herzlichen Dank für die tolle Gastfreundschaft!

Historic cottage in countryside location
We've just returned from another wonderful stay at Hilary & Graeme 's cottage. The cottage is so peaceful and is in an ideal location to explore the surrounding countryside. A beautiful space to unwind and relax. Hilary left us a much appreciated treat basket which is a lovely touch. Looking forward to our stay next year.

Garden Cottage, The Yair
We really enjoyed our one week stay in Olly's and Hannah's garden cottage. The cottage has charm and is very appropriately furnished. Everything worked perfectly and the garden is a dream. Olly is a great host who was very pleasant to liaise with.

The Owl House at Gardeners Cottage (dog friendly)
Beautiful little cottage has everything you need to feel right at home. It has a well equipped kitchen and comfortable living area. The bedroom is relaxing and bed is very comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful. Chris and janet have put lots of local information in the cottage to help make the most of your stay. Only draw back is there is no shop in fortingall, so your nearest shop is in Aberfeldy 7miles away ( not a big deal for us as we were out most of the day). We would highly recommend a visit to the owl house. Many thanks for hosting us. We might see you again when we come back to climb meall nan tarmachan at some point x

THE STRAWBALE BOTHY SKYE: unique, cosy with views.
It’s difficult to say just a few words! Here’s the list: It’s a privilege to stay in this unique place, built with care for guests AND for the earth! A warm welcome, easy to find. The view is outstanding Great wee kitchen, bathroom, sitting room. The shower is lovely. A welcome blackcurrant cake slice! Lots of food basics provided. Private and warm and quiet - except for the birds singing Walk to the Pub in 20 minutes- it IS hilly - but good food and beer Really nice Wild swimming in the harbour at the pub. Nicola provides 3 big towels to cosy into afterwards! Only 35 minutes to Lochalsh, about 50 to Glen Elg wee ferry, 35 to Broadford. If you are older, the access is steep for cases etc. Take your time, and it’s fine! If we come back to Skye, we WILL come back to Nicola❤️

The Wee Croft House, Secluded with Stunning Views
Magical stay! So looking forward to a return trip. We felt right at home and enjoyed exploring Skye and Sleat.

Foulis Castle Gate Lodge
We had a terrific evening at the gatehouse. There were 3 adults in our group and the property was perfect. Having a washer/dryer was fabulous. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to cook dinner. This property is very clean and comfortable. We loved the castle grounds, it really is a beautiful spot. Thank you for a great stay.

BERRISCUE HOUSE - ENTIRE COTTAGE - THURSO
Andy has created a welcoming space that is both clean and modern while feeling very comfortable and cozy. Everything we needed was provided and in a beautiful way. We had an excellent sleep and made use of the washing machine. The “fire” in the living room was just what was called for to take the edge off the chill of the evening (although the very modern heating system was easy and intuitive to use). We wish we could have stayed longer in this lovely spot.

Old Manse Cottage
Wir hatten schöne vier Tage im Cottage. Es war sehr ruhig. Das Cottage war wie beschrieben. Sehr groß, sehr stilvoll eingerichtet. Abby hat schnell auf unsere Nachrichten reagiert. Ausflüge nach Cromarty (Black Isle), Dunrobin Castle plus Orte auf dem Weg (u. a. Dornoch Beach) und zur Ostküste (Ullapool) sind sehr empfehlenswert und mit dem Auto gut machbar.

stoirm - a tranquil rural hideaway
David & Aisling's place was beautiful beyond words. The location was perfect – short driving distance to Portree and it had everything we need for a very comfortable, warm stay. View from the living area was the best and perfect for winding down after a day out. Would definitely want to come back again if I can!

Beautiful holiday cottage on Perthshire Estate
Fairygreen Cottage was the last stop on our holiday trip and it couldn't have been better! From the first step into the house until the very last minute, we absolutely enjoyed our stay there. The cottage is lovingly furnished, equipped with everything one needs and shows a high standard in quality. We felt very welcomed and comfortable and wish to come back!

Taigh Mairi Aonghais cosy Traditional Croft House
This was a lovely little cottage. Very peaceful location. Host friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Very clean, pretty and nicely presented property with log burner and underfloor heating. Well thought out and good use of space as it is quite wee! We actually really enjoyed not having a TV and sitting reading our books by the fire. We would have preferred a microwave rather than an air fryer. The area is beautiful with lots to explore very locally as well as further afield. Great for sea kayaking and cycling.
