Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Highland Council

This is an absolutely spectacular place in a wonderful secluded area. We loved our stay as a family of five. Incredible views from the living room and deck. Living room looks right out of Dwell complete with comfortable club chairs and sofa, fireplace and wool blankets. The kitchen is modern and stocked with top quality appliances, plates, cutlery and utensils. It takes some time but we loved the wood-fired hot tub. Secluded location but easy drive to many local attractions and hikes. We would 100% stay again and highly recommend to friends. One of the best Airbnb's we've stayed in.

I cannot recommend Sally’s AirBnB highly enough. The location is superb, so peaceful with views out to the harbour from the private garden and the private parking was a god send. The house is spacious and has everything you need and Portree is a great base for exploring Skye and the Highlands and Islands. We stayed for 2 weeks and it was worth every penny! Sally is a great host, easy to get a hold of and sorts things out quickly.

Katie’s charming home near the red castle ruins was an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived, we felt wrapped in peace and magic. The cottage was beautifully kept, fully stocked, and incredibly comfortable—every detail thoughtfully arranged to make us feel at home. The setting is something out of a storybook. Waking up next to the historic ruins and soaking in the beauty of the surroundings was unforgettable. The hot tub was a highlight, especially after a day of travel. Our kids were thrilled with the darts and ping pong, and everyone slept like a dream—so quiet, so cozy. If Scotland weren’t so far away, we’d be back in a heartbeat. This may be the only trip we ever take as a family to Scotland, and we’re beyond grateful that Katie’s magical cottage was part of our journey. Thank you for everything!

Visiting to take part in the Isle of Mull Sportive, the Cabin was perfectly located and provided everything we needed for our stay - tranquil setting, good warm and cosy space, well-equipped kitchen, space for our bikes, bathroom that gave us the option of a long soak in the bath if needed after our ride (we didn't but the water was really nice and hot for our showers). Eugenie sent a very informative and helpful welcome pack ahead of our stay providing clear directions and lots of great recommendations - we couldn't get in to eat at Croft 3 but we did drop in for coffee and cake and would thoroughly recommend. Thanks to Tomo, Eugenie's partner, for the encouragement to eat at Am Birlinn on our last evening - lovely space and staff and the food was delicious! More thanks to Tomo - for equipping us with hose, bucket, joinery advice and his patience! :D

Sheila’s place is beautiful, clean and very close to all amenities. Sheila was very helpful and took time to show us the house etc. Sheila is always responsive. The house is nice and the decor was amazing. We cannot thank enough to Sheila for making our stay lovely and comfortable.

This home was amazing. Just what we needed to use as a base for our Ben Nevis climb. Owner super helpful and friendly. Her little welcome pack was so thoughtful and everything we needed was there. Such a beautiful please to stay with the sheep, deer and mountains to see out the window. Perfect.

Eine wunderschöne Unterkunft, die alle Herzen höher schlagen lässt. Ein traumhafter Ausblick lädt zum Verweilen ein. Vor allem wenn es draußen regnet und stürmt und man den Kamin an macht, ist es sehr gemütlich. Der Bunker ist außerdem mit allem sehr gut ausgestattet. Wir hatten leider nur kurze, aber dafür wunderschöne Tage auf der Isle of Harris. Vielen Dank!

This is a lovely and spacious cottage with an amazing location! The small village is very relaxing and quiet, just what we were looking for. There are so many different types of landscapes to hike around very close by, marshes, lakes, forests, rocky mountains, heather fields, grassy pastures... The house has A Lot of helpful maps and brochures to pick the perfect route (with options for all abilities) if you have not come prepared. The location is very convenient as in 15-20 min you can reach the main motorway that cuts through the Highlands. It's only a bit more than an hour away from Inverness and about two hours away from Glencoe. Though with the national park at your doorstep you are already spoiled for choice and don't need to go far to enjoy some of the best landscapes in Scotland. Bridie was attentive and easy-going. She provided clear instructions and a lot of suggestions for local activities and amenities. We wish we could live in the cottage forever 😊

Although a little expensive, the views, and being in an Abbey was an amazing experience. We had plenty of room and the apartment had everything we needed including tea! The canal locks were a thrilling surprise to watch when going for coffee or ice cream. Loch Ness cruise was beautiful. Everything you could need from coffee to restaurants and gift shops to convenience store all walking distance but very quiet complex with a city link bus stop 5-6 minute walk to explore the highlands.

Perfect place and location for my 4 day stay. As a solo visitor I felt completely safe to walk around the area at any time. The cottage is very comfortable. Cheryl and her husband are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Mi familia y yo disfrutamos de las estancia en la casa. Todo lo necesario para pasar nuestros 3 días en un enclave maravilloso. Incluso Elisabeth dejo cosas para desayunar en caso de que no pudiésemos comprar de camino a la casa. Está en medio del bosque, así que total tranquildad y unas vistas preciosas. Si vas a visitar Inverness y Skye, está en un lugar estupendo para que ambos lugares sean accesibles y rápidos en coche. Aparcar en la puerta es un plus.

Very nice appartment. Clean. Nice view. Nice area. Very good communication. We where happy

Wir wurden von Janet sehr herzlich begrüßt. Sie zeigte uns die Wohnung und hatte und auf Ausflugsziele hingewiesen. Die Wohnung war sehr gut ausgestattet, uns hat nichts gefehlt. Über das frisch von ihr gebackene, sehr lecker Brot, Marmelade, Milch und Schokolade haben wir uns sehr gefreut. Leider waren wir nur drei Nächte dort. Ich hätte stundenlang aus dem Fenster schauen und das Wetter beobachten können. Ich kann die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen und würde jederzeit wieder mieten.

Un espacio muy limpio, acogedor y con detalles de muy buen gusto. Todo fue muy claro en las indicaciones y estuvo atento toda nuestra estancia. Un placer encontrar espacios cuidados y limpios como este.

Very enjoyable stay. Surprisingly close to sea front and riverside yet very quiet location with always spaces to park nearby. Liked Thurso. Flat had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Warm and cosy.

We absolutely loved our stay at Robert’s Highland Cottage. The place was gorgeous with quality amenities. The highlight for us was the porch with its accordion glass doors. Not only did they provide a lovely view from the bed and sitting area, but we spent each morning and evening sitting out on the porch overlooking the meadow and mountains. Highly recommend!

Cottage très mignon et très facile d’accès depuis le centre ! Elaine a été très réactive et les ustensiles dans la maisons sont très propres et neufs. Nous avons trouvé le lit un peu mou pour nos dos fatigués

Andrew’s place was a perfect base for a few days of hiking. It is a short walk to the train and bus, and there is a small grocery store even closer. The place was clean and had a nice modern kitchen. After our days of walking in the highlands, we appreciated showers or baths with lots of pressure and hot water. The idea of paying for the heat you use makes some sense too.

We really enjoyed our stay at Marie and Johns, they were so friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend as a stop off for any Lands end to John O groaters. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10

Tanto Linda como George fueron excelentes anfitriones. Amables, bien predispuestos, en fin: excelentes. En cuanto a la propiedad es muy cómoda y agradable que aporta muchísima paz a quienes allí se hospedan. Sin dudas volvería a visitarlos!

This place was just like the description. The location is very walkable, but out of the busy tourist center so it’s very quiet. Everything I needed was provided, which made the stay very easy. I would stay here again if I visit Inverness again.

The house was clean and tidy and had all the utensils for cooking food. What a nice peaceful location to stay. Onie was very helpful and accomodating for my friends and I.

One of the most, (if not the most), beautifully located places we’ve ever stayed. The house was spotless and well-equipped with amenities. Rosie was a brilliant host and quick to respond whenever we needed anything. I'm so glad we decided here rather than staying in the town, which we were at first considering. Can't recommend this place enough!

Most enjoyable stay . Enjoyed immensely, I was made comfortable from the start . Very nice indeed,fully recommend and if I’m in the area I will be looking to book . Best wishes for the future. 🙋‍♂️🐕🦮👩🏼‍🍳
