Castle vacation rentals in Hebrides

Billy and his wife were very welcoming. We had a cake baked for us and the apartment was very clean and homely.

Magical apartment in the old abbey. Cool building to explore. Don’t miss the graveyard. We had a 6 PM check in and had a flat tire coming up from Fort William. When I informed our host we would be delayed, she actually connected me with a tire replacement company FASTER than the rental company! So, the rental company confirmed the services right away and our delay was only 2 hours. We are SO THANKFUL to our kind host! The Boathouse restaurant has the best views, doesn’t require reservations, and was open later until everything else had closed. It’s a big issue to either have reservations (even for pizza!) or eat super early before 6 pm to get food. No local grocery store. Gas station does have fruit and vegetables. We couldn’t figure out the dryer despite the directions.

Stunning place , we had an amazing time , and did a couple of activities. The grandchildren and children loved the maze the lock , the boat ! Magical memories! Thank you to all the lovely staff too ! Xx

This was an amazing stay! I wish we could have stayed there for weeks! My entire family was extremely comfortable and loved all the living spaces. Extremely clean and roomy! Thank you for allowing our family to have this amazing experience staying at Scone Palace - memories that will last a lifetime!

We had a fabulous stay in this beautiful flat, full of beautiful original features. It's so spacious and our kids loved staying in the castle! We had everything we needed and Caroline was great at keeping in touch. Many thanks Caroline!

We had a wonderful time at Thirlestane Castle! All the staff were extremely welcoming and made our stay very comfortable. The rooms were so cosy and it was such a pleasure to return to after a long day out exploring. It felt straight out of a fairytale seeing the baby rabbits on the lawn just outside the windows. In terms of the actual rooms, the bedroom (and bed) was very comfortable. That said, if you prefer slightly firmer pillows, you may need to bring your own. The staff did try to source one for us but weren't able to. The bathroom was luxurious and the sitting room was a great spot to unwind in the evenings with a book. I can't recommend the guided tour of the castle enough - our guide, Anne, was extremely knowledgeable and it was wonderful to hear the stories of the people that lived here, including many first hand accounts! All in all, I'd love to come back and spend more time here. Thirlestane is a magical place to stay and a wonderful base to explore the area.

We really enjoyed our stay. Tracy and Michael's recommendations were really valued and the property had everything we needed and was warm and comfortable. When visiting this area again, we wouldn't hesitate in booking with them again.

We had an absolutely amazing stay, we couldn't have asked for more! The place is so much more amazing in person than in the pictures. The train station is a 5 minute drive away and has free parking, so we had easy access to Glasgow and Edinburgh. There are also a number of great sites to visit that were a pretty easy drive away. All of the rooms were super comfortable. We hated to leave!

The apartment is super nice and quiet. We're so grateful that we were allowed to use this accommodation.

Absolutely loved our stay. Already looking forward to coming back in the future

The lodge was unbelievably beautiful and the pictures don’t do it justice. Felt like a dream and the host was great. Made sure we had what we needed for a peaceful and pleasant stay. Probably one of the best views we’ve had while enjoying our breakfast. Would absolutely recommend East Lodge and will have to come back

Amazing accommodation in a beautiful area! Hosts couldn’t be better. Would highly recommend.

Great place in a great location, and the hosts were really good at communicating. Including a little book about the place

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Pele Tower at Irton Hall, and it was a truly memorable experience. Nestled in a serene location, the surroundings are incredibly calm and peaceful—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The gardens are absolutely beautiful, full of charm and character. Spotting peacocks and chickens roaming freely added a delightful, almost magical touch to the atmosphere. It felt like stepping into a countryside fairy tale. The accommodation itself was excellent. The 3 stored tower was exceptionally spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. It offered a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Everything was well-maintained and thoughtfully prepared. If you’re looking for a quiet retreat surrounded by nature and history, I highly recommend Pele Tower at Irton Hall. It’s a hidden gem that offers both relaxation and a touch of uniqueness.

Enjoyed the accommodations, everything worked well. Good heat and hot water. Beautiful location, plenty of places to walk on the property. Close access to local shopping & restaurants.

When my friends talk about people who go out of their way to be helpful, friendly, neighborly, etc. we call it the "old highland way". We experienced " the old island way" which gave us a truly magical time. It was remarkable in setting, amenities, and ambiance. Thank you so much Marjorie.

The location is absolutely amazing, there are no words to describe it. The castle has its own rustic charm but is equipped with the best modern facilities and the views are out of this world. Paul and Anna made us feel perfectly comfortable and were very helpful in providing us with information and recommendations for the local area. While I wish we could have stayed longer, this place made for the perfect weekend getaway. We were able to get a good night's rest in the lavish king size bed after exploring the beautiful grounds and in the morning came down to a freshly made breakfast that we chose off the menu. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.

Perfect location and great cottage, interesting and spacious, we had a lovely few days staying.

This place is beautiful. The beds are comfortable and the place is clean. The bedrooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floor with a very thin, small staircase. Parking is convenient in front of the building. The location is very remote, with nothing in walking distance and difficult to get to/from the town, which I wish I had known prior to booking. However, we made the most of it and the house itself is beautiful and matches the photos.

Such a great spot, if you want to relax on the grounds with the kids and dog or head out, there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained. Very unique stay. Thanks to the host for a memorable stay.

Peaceful location tucked away in a beautiful part of the Peak District. The accommodation did not disappoint. It felt very exclusive. The check in information was clear and unambiguous. We appreciated the heads up to purchase supplies prior to arrival as the nearest supermarket is probably a 15 minute drive away. The accommodation had everything you could need and that would expect from a luxury hotel, with the addition of cooking facilities. We were able to walk straight from the accommodation on the circular route of Kinder scout. It was then a short drive to a lovely local pub for dinner.

Pele Tower is a beautifully and lovingly restored building, and Ann and Andy have thought of pretty much everything. Every time we needed something, it was already there. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and got us immediately set up for the week. The pictures are 100% representative and in fact don’t do it justice. Ann and Andy are absolutely lovely too. Had a lovely week working from Killington and exploring the area and would very much recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage! The location is absolutely stunning—right opposite the castle, offering breathtaking views from morning to night. The cottage itself was spotless and incredibly well-maintained. Everything was perfectly clean, cozy, and exactly as described. Truly nothing to add—it was just perfect. Highly recommend this place for a peaceful and scenic getaway!

Six of us stayed at the castle for three nights 24 th until 27 th of May From the moment we were welcomed by Toni and shown around we knew this was something special The attention to detail in every area was incredible The living areas were very well appointed and furnished with quality items and some quirky eye catching ideas Our themed bedrooms were incredibly regal with beautiful bedding and fittings The kitchen and dining facilities were super clean and plentiful and we enjoyed the welcome pack and champagne Luckily the weather was kind enough for us to enjoy the views from the turret and visit the surrounding villages Hoping to return at some time in the future Thank you very much for this incredible experience Marjorie Maule
