Self-catering accommodation offers unparalleled flexibility, making your holiday truly unique. Whether you are looking to unwind in the Scottish Highlands, explore the serene landscapes of the Isle of Skye, or enjoy the peaceful Scottish Borders, self-catering in Scotland provides the perfect base for your adventures. Here's why choosing a self-catering cottage in Scotland is an excellent idea.
With no schedules to follow, you can relax and enjoy your holiday at your own pace. Come and go as you please without any constraints, enjoying the freedom that self-catering offers. Whether you want to sleep in, have a late breakfast, or return late after a day of exploring, the choice is yours.
Self-catering is a highly affordable option with properties to suit every budget. Whether you're a couple, a small family, or a large group, there's something for everyone. Our properties offer exceptional value, ensuring you get the most for your money.
Eat what you want, when you want. You can cook with local produce, get takeaways, or dine out at local restaurants. The choice is entirely yours, allowing you to enjoy your holiday to the fullest.
Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Many of our properties offer WiFi, but you're not obliged to connect (and the speed may not be what you're used to). Some remote locations might even challenge your mobile signal, perfect for a true getaway. If you're travelling with children or pets, you can maintain your routine and enjoy the space without worrying about disturbing others.
Scotland's natural beauty is its greatest asset. Kids will love the freedom to play in gardens, explore ruins, loch shores, or forests, and cycle on traffic-free trails. Dogs will enjoy sniffing around the vast open spaces, forests, and glens, and relaxing by the fire in the evening. Hillwalking is popular, and many cottages offer direct access to the hills and mountains, ideal for bagging a few Munros.
The Scottish Highlands are synonymous with rugged beauty and dramatic landscapes. Renting a cottage here offers an idyllic retreat. Consider areas like The Cairngorms or Lochaber for outdoor activities, Inverness-shire for history and the famous Loch Ness, or the northwest for its stunning coastal views and wild landscapes.
The Isle of Skye is a haven for nature lovers. With its mystical landscapes and rich folklore, it's perfect for a secluded getaway. Self-catering options here range from traditional crofts to luxurious lodges, many offering spectacular views of the Cuillin mountains or the rugged coastline.
The Scottish Borders offer a peaceful countryside escape. It's an ideal destination for history buffs and those looking to explore quaint towns and villages. Stay in a converted farmhouse or a cosy stone cottage, and discover the charm of this lesser-known region.
Choose from accommodation close to amenities or opt for a more secluded, remote experience. Wilderness Cottages offers a diverse range of properties, from log houses and traditional croft houses to quirky luxury homes and converted barns. Some holiday homes are truly remote, while others feel remote but are near shops and attractions. Unsure which property to choose?
