Beatrice Cottage, Warkworth.

StevenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Beatrice Cottage was a wonderful stay for us. Cozy cottage with large main bedroom, comfy 2nd bedroom, ample sized bathrooms, and good kitchen and bathroom facilities. Nicely accommodates 3 or 4 people. We felt right at home in a small village. Walking distance to Warkworth Castle and pleasant walk along Coquet River to the Hermitage boat launch area. Two of us also walked to the ocean front. Grace was super helpful, and her instructions made arrival, entry, and departure straight forward.

Lovely house with a fantastic patio area / walled private garden - we were lucky to have beautiful weather whilst there, and got to enjoy dinner in the peaceful garden both evenings.

Vancouver Self Catering Cottage

JiaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a wonderful stay at Chris and Caroline's beautiful cottage, Vancouver! It was incredibly spacious and felt just like home, thanks to being fully equipped with everything we needed. The views were absolutely stunning – we loved watching the sunset right from the living room window. Plus, its location was perfect for exploring, with Dunvegan Castle, Talisker Distillery, and Portree all pretty close by.

We really enjoyed our stay at Johan‘s cottage and would love to come back for a longer stay at some point. The cottage has all the necessities and the kitchen is well equipped. Everything was clean and tidy. The cottage is in a beautiful but secluded area. So if you are looking for some peace and quiet, it is absolutely perfect.

Cottage by the Sea, 20 metres from the beach

HeatherRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We had a lovely time staying at Ann's for our visit to Skye. Ann was very responsive to messages and so graciously flexible with our check in time (when we got held up several hours by a closed road). The cottage was beautifully clean with stunning views of the bay, and well located to reach all parts of the island. Would definitely recommend staying with Ann!

Luxury Cottage, views of the Lakes with Hot Tub

EmmaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We couldn’t have asked for a better place and friendlier helpful host. Kathryn was attentive and was very responsive, always friendly and helpful. This cottage is very spacious, modern and clean. We really enjoyed our time here. We are already planning when to go back. The views from the windows and the hot tub are beautiful. There is so much to do, we needed much longer to explore more areas and go on more walks. We would definitely recommend this place.

Your guide to Scotland

Welcome to Scotland

Every corner of Scotland seems to have a dramatic story to tell: This is an ancient landscape marked by crumbling castles, green hillsides where clans once battled, and, of course, deep lochs said to hide at least one mythical monster. The northernmost country in the United Kingdom claims rugged mountains, craggy shores, and cities that look like medieval fantasies. Yes, you’ll probably notice a few kilted street performers puffing on bagpipes as you explore heritage sites like Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, the historic heart of the regal capital. But there’s a lot more to this proud nation than its most visible clichés.

In the Lowlands, the majority of the Scottish population resides in Edinburgh and Glasgow, the largest city. Together they form an area known as the Central Belt. Where Edinburgh delivers on Scottish landmarks and grandeur, Glasgow gives you counterculture hot spots. As you move into the Highlands, some of Scotland’s most romanticized vistas come into view, with villages wedged into narrow valleys and towering mountains like Ben Nevis reaching monumental heights. As you explore the mysterious ruins, misty islands, and sprawling national parks, you’ll find Scotland retains some of Western Europe’s wildest and most remote places.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Scotland

Scotland is a country known for its internationally famous festivals, culminating in August with the Edinburgh International Festival and Edinburgh Festival Fringe taking over the capital for a month of performances and events. Summer is also the warmest and driest season, when Scotland’s northerly position makes for long, sunny evenings and a festive vibe wherever you go. Crowds are noticeably thinner in spring and early fall, when you can experience the major cities and tourist sites more like a local. Winter gets unrelenting rain and occasional snow, but you’ll still find plenty of cozy indoor hubs, historical and otherwise, where you can stay warm.


Top things to do in Scotland

Glasgow’s West End

Glasgow’s fashionable and leafy West End comprises several low-key neighborhoods filled with art museums and galleries, locally owned shops, and some of the most celebrated Scottish restaurants. Take a gander at Argyle Street or duck in cobbled Ashton Lane to get the pulse of Glasgow’s resurgence as a cultural epicenter. This is also home to one of the city’s favorite greenspaces, Kelvingrove Park, where you’re treated to views of the iconic gothic architecture of Glasgow University.

Eilean Donan Castle

Cross a stone bridge to a tiny tidal island, where several castles have stood guard since the 13th century. In the early 20th century, reconstruction efforts turned the foreboding ruins into one of the most photographed landmarks in Scotland. Its scenic position at the meeting point of several sea lochs makes Eilean Donan Castle alone worth the detour to the Western Highlands to witness the sight for yourself. It’s a popular stop on the way to the nearby Isle of Skye, a magical place with several of its own photogenic castles as well as the iconic Fairy Pools, a series of waterfalls in the Glen Brittle forest.

North Coast 500

From Inverness, take one of Scotland’s most scenic drives along the narrow, twisting roads looping through the lesser-traveled North Highlands. The 516-mile (830-km) trip, designated as a touring route in 2015, passes some of the United Kingdom’s most remote fishing villages and harbor towns. You’ll see barren beaches, jagged coastal cliffs, and islands just offshore. While you could drive the North Coast 500 in a day, take a slower roll and give yourself several days to sightsee castles, trek natural trails, and maybe even spot the Northern Lights here at the tip of Great Britain.
