The Perfect Scottish Cottage Holiday Starts Here

From the smallest croft to the grandest castle, our range of the finest Scottish Country Cottages brings you the very best of Scotland's splendour. Whether you want to explore Highland, Lowland, island or city, a holiday in Scotland will bewitch you with the sheer grandeur of a landscape shrouded in myth and legend. Breathtaking mountains, glens, lochs and moors provide the perfect backdrop for an awe-inspiring break.

Scottish Cottages with Nature on the Doorstep

Enjoy the timeless magic of the Scottish countryside in one of our range of carefully selected character cottages, for a holiday to remember at any time of year. The changing seasons only enhance the landscape; autumnal reds and golds seem to set the hillsides alight, while the crisp winters transform the mountains into a snow-covered wonderland. The sheer scale and scope of Scotland's countryside means that, wherever you choose your cottage holiday, inspirational scenery and diverse wildlife awaits you.

Perhaps your perfect holiday means autumn walks to watch the deer rut, among the glorious Cairngorm Mountains, or spending long summer evenings watching seals and puffins along the Highlands' rugged coastline, with a wee dram from the local distillery. Whether you want to relax in quiet serenity, as you contemplate the misty sunrise over Loch Lomond, or fill your flask from the crystal-clear mountain springs rushing through the purple heather of the borderlands - our cottage holidays leave you feeling invigorated and alive.

Cottages with Character for Holidays Steeped in History

From crofter's cottages, stone farmhouses and city apartments, through to remote hunting lodges and grand country manors - our stunning range of holiday cottages is brimming with Scotland's historic charm, in a landscape shaped by more than just the elements. Use your cottage as a base to explore eight thousand years of turbulent history, from the Picts to Robert the Bruce. Walk in the footsteps of Rob Roy as you wander round some of the 3,000 castles that pepper the countryside.

From a cottage in the Northern Highlands you can discover Viking settlements and Neolithic ruins. Or, perhaps you'd prefer to delve into the legend of William Wallace as you visit the historic battlefields around Stirling and Callander in the Southern Highlands? Edinburgh's famous castle, historic architecture, and extinct volcanic plug are a heritage highlight for any holiday in the Border Country. Whichever chapter of history you choose to explore, our Scottish Country Cottages make the perfect base.

From Self Catering to Cordon Bleu - Find Your Flavour at Any Time of Year

For either a short break or long retreat, Scotland has plenty to get your gastronomic juices flowing. Visitors flock from all quarters for whisky tasting weekends touring distilleries to sample the finest smoky malts in The Highlands. Others sample freshly caught salmon at the edge of Loch Fyne. Scotland offers a rich pantry of local produce to bring out your inner gourmet - and make the most of your cottage's self catering facilities!

Seek out Scotland's many flavours in a diverse mixture of eateries - from Britain's remotest pub, at The Old Forge, Knoydart, to the busy bistros and café culture in Edinburgh, the full-time festival city, you'll find fabulous dining within easy reach of our range of cottages. Scottish chefs pride themselves on their use of seasonal local produce, so choose game such as venison in autumn, haggis in spring, or the famous Clootie Dumpling as a favourite winter warmer.  

Relaxation and Recreation within Easy Reach of Your Accommodation

With some of Britain's wildest and most beautiful scenery as your backdrop, your cottage holiday in Scotland can be full of the most exhilarating outdoor pursuits. From walking trails and climbing routes throughout the North Highlands in summer, through to skiing and snowboarding at the famous Aviemore, Glencoe and Ben Nevis in winter, the mountains offer all the activity you could want. In the Southern Highlands, St Andrews is famous for its legendary golf course, and is another popular holiday destination, while the West Coast is great fishing territory, on loch or sea!

Those who prefer more restful pastimes won't be disappointed in Scotland either. Whether you just want to relax and unwind amidst awe-inspiring scenery, take in historic houses and restful gardens or soak up the culture and shop till you drop in bustling cities like Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness; our range of Scottish cottages offers it all. Once you've experienced a holiday in Scotland, the spirit of this magical place will stay with you forever.
