Stunning 1 Bedroom home in Elie
Incredible views around Elie, the coast and golf course. The property is highly specced and we could not be happier with our visit. Fiona provides clear instructions on how to access the property. Will definitely be back!!

Secluded hillside cottage, ideal romantic hideaway
A fantastic, well equipped cottage in a peacefull setting. Great for staying in or getting out and about the local area.

A charming, well appointed Edwardian Gate Lodge
We had a great stay in this beautiful house. Super easy to find an ideal location for peaceful weekend and only short drive to local attractions. Great safe enclosed garden for the dogs and lovely walks from the front door. Hot tub and sauna were a fantastic addition, loved the Aga too.

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!

Luxurious, Private Cottage 2 Bedrooms with Hot Tub
Second time we have stayed here, will make it a third sometime in the future. Great cottage and location

Stylish Country Cottage with Exclusive Hot Tub!
Dina was great. She was away while we visited but was still helpful and responsive from Australia. Beautiful peaceful little home with views of the pasture, cows, and rabbits from the hot tub area.

Coastal cottage with stunning view.
I absolutely loved this serene little guesthouse tucked away just outside of Edinburgh. It was very nice, clean, and functional for our family group. It was easy to navigate from there to surrounding areas by car. Ali was so personable and friendly! Truly a pleasure to stay here, and we would gladly stay again!

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 .

Cosy 1-bedroom cottage with wood-burner
Beautiful Airbnb! Great location to discover Scotland and enjoy all its beautiful nature. Great view from your bedroom window on the forest behind the cottage.. highly recommended!

Entire cottage with garden and great views!
we only stayed one night as a stopover but was a lovely location and accommodation was great, ideal for 2 people as the bathroom is accessed via the bedroom, our grown up daughter used sofa bed, said she slept well, communication was great, lovely stay

Cosy, hideaway cottage in 2 acres of forest!
Lovely peaceful place to stay. We loved the resident deer, the sound of the birds, the rabbits and the area was really beautiful with a few nature reserves just down the road. The cottage itself is very tiny, but has a lovely history. The WiFi works but is a little patchy but that's to be expected in rural Scotland. Cat (the owner) is very responsive and helpful.

Beautiful royal-village cottage with wood-burner
very quiet. had everything we needed and a true Scottish feel. would stay again

Fairdene cottage
What a fabulous little find, cosy cottage fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Bed was so comfortable had a great nights sleep. Great location for shops and food. House was spotlessly clean and fab complimentary toiletries. Host was good communicator and was good to know they were available and on hand if needed which we didnt as everything was perfect. Good base for exploring Ballater , Braemar and the surrounding area including Lochnagar.

Owl Cottage, dog-friendly 2-bed near Loch Ness
We had great time at the Owl cottage, we felt right at home. There was ample space for 2 adults and 2 kids, and we would have loved to bring our dog as he too would have loved it, but unfortunately we had to leave him overseas. The kitchen had every thing we needed and everything was clean and in fantastic condition. WIFI and cell coverage was spotty, and Jane did warn us about the WIFI ahead of time. All in all it was a great stay and we highly recommend staying at the Owl cottage.

Blaeberry Cottage, Aviemore
A lovely stay at Blaeberry Cottage. It had everything I needed for a 3 night stay, very well equipped and very clean. A lovely garden for the dog to roam around. Would definitely recommend!

Thistle Dhu Cottage: pet friendly cottage & garden
We had a lovely stay at Peter's place. a truly dog friendly cottage in the most peaceful location! Peter was very friendly and helpful and we loved meeting Jack the dog. The private garden space was great for our collie and for us. The cottage is cosy and comfy and a perfect base for exploring the area.

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.

“Old Mains Cottage” In Tranquil Surroundings
We had a fantastic stay at Anne's cottage. nice and peaceful and out of the way of the hustle and bustle. We used the cottage as a hub to visit pretty much all of Scotland, many miles we used in this adventure.

The Old Byre, a beautiful cottage near Ben Nevis
We love The Old Byre! It is our second trip to Scotland from the US, and we made it a point to stay in The Old Byre again because we love it so much! Anne is incredibly generous, leaves a great, stocked kitchen, and always a warm welcome with a little gift or note. The cottage is so homey and peaceful, we never want to leave and are always sad to go! Thanks for another wonderful stay, Anne!

Old Manse Cottage
A lovely comfortable and well renovated cottage in a wonderful location. Well situated for exploring the Scottish Highlands. Would highly recommend.

Sma Harbour Hoose
The Sma harbour hoose was a great stay! Right in the harbour with parking and good food at the bar and restaurant accross the street. Spacious and comfortable with a full kitchen. Charles made it very easy to check-in. A nice way to end our trip in Scotland!

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!

Luxury Croft overlooking Loch Ness & Urquhart Bay
Lovely stay at The Croft at Urqhuart B and B. Simon and Annie are great hosts who provide a lovely place to stay. Loved the bath after a big day of hiking near Beauly and Fort Augustus. Their hiking suggestions were also very helpful. Only suggestion for improvement is the need for block out curtains in the bedroom, as in June it is pretty much light all day and night.

Millbank Cottage - excellent place for couples
A beautiful, peaceful place to stay with easy walking to shops. Aneta was friendly, very responsive and an excellent host. The well-stocked cottage is bright with lovely garden views. Would definitely stay again! Thank you, Aneta, for a delightful stay!
