Cottage holiday rentals in Scottish Highlands

Incredible views around Elie, the coast and golf course. The property is highly specced and we could not be happier with our visit. Fiona provides clear instructions on how to access the property. Will definitely be back!!

Our stay lived up to high expectations. Ainslie went over and above with decorations for my boyfriend’s birthday; welcome notes; homemade cake; fizz and ice in the fridge. She was warm and welcoming, and we felt completely relaxed. So grateful for such a lovely stay in a beautiful area. We will definitely be back! Thank you Ainslie 🥰🤩🥳

This garden cottage was straight out of a romantic fairytale! The gorgeous garden surrounding the cottage and the view of the water and misty rolling hills framed perfectly by a stone wall and ivy were just breathtaking (especially while sitting in the wood fire heated hot tub). The cottage itself was incredibly cozy. We had nearly gotten stranded on Islay with car issues and we weren’t even sure we’d get to enjoy this stop on our holiday. By the time we arrived, we were completely exhausted from the chaos of the previous 24 hours so this relaxing and welcoming space was exactly what we needed to decompress. ☺️ The cottage was well equipped and very clean! We had everything we needed and then some. Caroline was an exceptional host. She was remarkably responsive and lovely to interact with both prior to our stay (when we weren’t sure we’d be able to make it) and during our stay! Anyone with the opportunity to stay here, should absolutely do it! Thank you for everything, Caroline!!

Second time we have stayed here, will make it a third sometime in the future. Great cottage and location

Dina was great. She was away while we visited but was still helpful and responsive from Australia. Beautiful peaceful little home with views of the pasture, cows, and rabbits from the hot tub area.

Had a lovely stay at this cottage . Near to Edinburgh as my son was doing the marathon but in a lovely location . Kylie was response to our messages and a lovely homemade loaf gave that extra touch for our arrival . Would definitely recommend and stay again .

Such a beautiful little get away with so many little hidden gems nearby! Was quiet 24/7 and we loved the peace and the amount of sun the garden and hot tub got. Such a cosy cottage and made us feel at home straight away, worth the drive! Thank you for a lovely stay ❤️

We had a wonderful stay with my family at this historic cottage. Especially loved the easy access to the Fife Coastal Path that we walked daily into Burntisland or Aberdour. Excellent hosts as well. Thank you for your hospitality, we would highly recommend this property!

Great host and loved the location and accommodation. Garden was great for the dogs and chilling with a beer and beautiful beach 5 minutes across the road. Locals and neighbours were very friendly Travelled to John ‘Groats, The Black Isle and Nairn during our stay. Highly recommend as either a base for touring or just a peaceful break in beautiful unspoilt surroundings.

The cottage is beautiful and comfortable to stay in. We didn't get a chance to light the log burner but it would be lovely on a cool night, and we were supplied with plenty of logs. The area is stunning and there is plenty to do locally. Andrew was always happy to chat and even brought over some toys for our baby.

What an amazing location and host. We were blessed with sunshine for our stay which made it even more spectacular. Una was a brilliant host, provided recommendations and the AirBnb was perfect for our stay. Can't wait to visit again and explore more of the highlands.

If you’re looking for authentic, quirky, and charming—this is it. Puffin Cottage in Pennan is a special place where time slows down and the North Sea sings you to sleep. My son and I built a lifetime of memories—exploring, laughing, and settling in by the cozy fire. The cottage has everything you need, but it’s the character that shines. From low doorways to steep stairs, you quickly learn the old fishermen were built a bit smaller—one knock to the head and you’ll remember to duck. The neighbors are warm and kind. Fiona next door is a gifted photographer with an eye for the aurora. Shona at Coastal Cuppie is a sorceress in the kitchen—her scones are unforgettable. And Gayle, the owner, was wonderful—kind, responsive, and ensured we settled in without a hitch. If you’re lucky enough to stay here, you’ll fall in love with the sound of waves, the charm of the village, and the peaceful magic of Pennan. We can’t wait to return.

we only stayed one night as a stopover but was a lovely location and accommodation was great, ideal for 2 people as the bathroom is accessed via the bedroom, our grown up daughter used sofa bed, said she slept well, communication was great, lovely stay

We've just returned from another wonderful stay at Hilary & Graeme 's cottage. The cottage is so peaceful and is in an ideal location to explore the surrounding countryside. A beautiful space to unwind and relax. Hilary left us a much appreciated treat basket which is a lovely touch. Looking forward to our stay next year.

Very beautiful place to stay! The kitchen gave us inspiration for our own home and the bathroom was lovely. All around a very pretty home. Annie was very responsive and gave us some helpful suggestions on what to do during our stay. Also, if you like cows you may get to see a large herd of them right behind the rental! There’s a large sloped field that rises up behind the house and we enjoyed watching the cows come and go during our stay.

Lovely little cottage in a great part of the world. Sweet and cosy sitting room for the evenings with lots of windows that look out over the garden and fields beyond.

Beautiful little house in a peacefully place. With sheep and cows around the place, it’s a very calm and resting place. I clearly recommend this wonderful house.

Megan and Sean’s place is beautiful—thoughtfully designed, well equipped, and tastefully decorated. It was perfect for our family of five (two adults and three children). Megan went above and beyond, even baking a cake and bringing fresh flowers from her garden to welcome us. The house is full of charming details and has been expertly renovated, blending the character of the old building with modern comforts. We especially appreciated the thoughtful extras for families—there were toys and board games that kept the kids happily entertained. There was also a wealth of local resources—books, maps, and guides—to help us explore the region. Firewood was provided for the fireplace, and the BBQ was ready to go with a full gas tank. It’s a wonderful place to relax—we’ll definitely be back.

Being a long time traveler I can honestly say that Alex’ place is THE most beautiful house I have ever been. We were looking forward to “coming home” after each day trip. Alex has been more than a host. It felt like having a friend on Skye. We will definitely be back - we loved it ◡̈

We absolutely loved our 2 night stay at The Old Byre and wish it could have been longer. The cottage is adorable and the provisions Anne supplies were fantastic. It is a little bit out from Fort William but that added to its charm. We walked to the Ben Nevis Inn for dinner one night (about 15 mins) which was great.

Fairygreen Cottage was the last stop on our holiday trip and it couldn't have been better! From the first step into the house until the very last minute, we absolutely enjoyed our stay there. The cottage is lovingly furnished, equipped with everything one needs and shows a high standard in quality. We felt very welcomed and comfortable and wish to come back!

What a fantastic space. Beautiful cottage and gardens and stunning surroundings. Great friendly and helpful hosts. A good spot with lots of things to do and see. We had a wonderful week at Arrivain and would definitely go back.

Beautiful Croft in an amazing location surrounded by a loch and stunning gardens - definitely recommend.

We had a lovely stay at Tracey’s guesthouse with its amazing views. Had a great meal at the pub as recommended by James, and cooked in the well appointed kitchen our second night. We had everything we needed and appreciated the breakfast provisions so thoughtfully provided. Would highly recommend!
