The property is a stunning holiday home located in a secluded loch-side setting with breathtaking views of Loch Etive and Glencoe. This spacious six-bedroom home can accommodate up to twelve guests and boasts six bathrooms, making it perfect for holidays with family and friends. The house features a fully enclosed garden, Wi-Fi, an Aga, and ample parking. Guests can access the Loch directly from the garden via a track and boat owners can use the owner's slipway and buoy for an additional charge. Fishing rods and mackerel lines are also available on request. The surrounding area offers many popular destinations such as Inverawe Smokehouse and Shop, Taynuilt village, and Oban, which is about 30 minutes' drive away. Children and dogs are welcome, but guests must be aware that there is a small garden pond at the back of the house and that the property is accessed via a rough forestry track.

This is one of those homes for which first impressions can be deceiving. From the outside, the nineteenth-century stone exterior looks rather traditional, but the interior is a completely different story. Walls painted in a muted grey, wooden floors and striking monochrome portraits are as modern as they come, and the design works particularly well with the bountiful amounts of natural light from the bay windows. Pristinely designed it might be, but there's also a whole lot of fun to be had here, too. Out in the garden, there's a hot tub in which you can sit and take in the view of the Sound of Karrera. There's also a separate shed which doubles up as a games room, complete with tables for ping-pong, poker and pool. In the town of Oban, there are distilleries and seafood restaurants to visit, but as you can probably guess from the scenery, there are lots of coastal walks to embark upon too, including forty-five minutes to Ganavan Sands.

Glen Creran's rolling hills set the backdrop for this spectacular Highlands home. The vistas are certainly fantastic, ranging from the mountains down to the loch – there's a view from almost every room. Relaxing is easy as can be here – sip scotch on the terrace, unwind in the hot tub, break a sweat in the private gym, or curl up in front of the fire in the library. The design is the perfect mix of contemporary and cosy, with all the mod-cons you'll need. Your host even leaves a basket of Scottish goodies to make you feel at home. Keen to explore? Appin, Glasdrum, and other Highland villages are just a short drive away.

My Heart's in the Highlands

DVD Player

Set off into the wilds from this snug seaside base. Situated in the picturesque harbour town of Oban, the one-bed apartment is an ideal setting-off point for couples or solo travellers to explore Scotland's rugged Highlands.

Contemporary and comfortable, this home also boasts direct views of the bay. Cosy up in the open-plan living space after a long day and watch as the community winds down outside your window. We love the exposed stone wall that brings a touch of the wilderness indoors. The sleek kitchen is well-outfitted for you to prepare a hearty breakfast each morning.

Adventurers will no doubt be happy here – not only are there beaches and golf courses on your doorstep, but some of Scottland's best hiking trails are just a short drive away. We recommend taking the short and scenic ferry ride to the Island of Kerrera, where a crumbling castle looks out over the Atlantic. Enjoy freshly baked goods in the cottage tearoom before returning to your home base.

A getaway for all seasons, this home offers a Scottish escape to remember. This enchanting home can be found on 25 acres of private woodland between the moor and Loch Sunart. Forage for chanterelles and berries, pick wildflowers – and make use of your host’s flower-arranging kit – while the kids run wild in the forest camp. It’s an incredible setting for an outdoorsy holiday, with wild swimming, biking, and kayaking all on the cards. The Scandinavian/Hebridean style house is cosy and comfortable, with a fire inside as well as a fire bowl outside. You can admire views across Loch Sunart to the Isle of Carna, Morvern, and Mull from the living room, main bedroom, and the decking and garden. There’s a bit of magic in a home like this. 

Fireside Dram

Built in the 1900s. this magical estate is a National Monuments of Scotland building and was designed by two artists. Their effect can still be seen today, with tapestries hanging on walls and quirky art pieces - alongside bookcases stuffed with reading material in nearly all the rooms, giving the home a cosy lived-in feel. Spread across five turrets, the space combines castle fantasies with historical touches. Wannabe sleeping beauties will love the four-poster bed in the top room - when you do arise, bathe in the bathroom with its vintage tub and swirling retro wallpaper. Those who prefer fact over fiction can nose around the home's original features, including in the wooden beamed kitchen, complete with an AGA for cooking something delicious.

Free Parking

Located in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, overlooking the surrounding area of trees, countryside and Loch Shiel, this home offers a relaxing holiday. You can take in the vistas in the garden when it’s sunny or warm up by the log burner in the spacious living room or the cosy snug.  When you feel like exploring, have a stroll around Loch Shiel, or the nearby town of Corpach offers plenty of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes. Other attractions include Fort William, where you can take a day trip over to the Isle of Eigg.

An Ethereal Retreat

Private Dryer

Set in the countryside of Invergarry, this converted boathouse offers the perfect retreat for couples or solo travellers. The terrace and balcony have stunning views of the surrounding woodland and the loch. Inside, the open-plan living space has a wood-burning stove for cooler evenings, while upstairs there’s a snug area – perfect for reading a book. When you want to explore, it’s just a five-minute walk to the ruins of Invergarry Castle overlooking Loch Oich. Whether you're looking to do some fishing, kayaking, or simply exploring the nearby towns and villages, this idyllic home has something for everyone.

The Loch Boathouse

This cosy hideaway overlooks the peaceful waters of Loch Linnhe. From here, you can enjoy the sweet sounds of nature and beautiful views while relaxing on the deck. Inside, the rooms are perfect for couples and solo travellers in search of simplicity and ease. It’s also a fantastic base for nature lovers and adventurers looking to experience this magical part of Scotland. The small village of Ardgour is within easy reach, while Fort William can be accessed by road or ferry.



The Lake Life

The views of the mountains and the sea from this home are just mesmerising. Take in the vistas from the wooden balcony or the large windows inside. There’s a log burner, too for when the Scottish weather is cold. This place is perfect for families or friends looking for a wonderful setting. There’s a large sandy beach a short walk from the home, perfect for doing some beachcombing with the kids. Or head to nearby Arisaig and then maybe get a boat over to the islands of Eigg, Muck or Rum.

This Norwegian log house is surrounded by the picturesque mountains around Fort William. It’s a short drive into the centre for shops, restaurants and cosy local pubs, but the main highlight of the area is the myriad of hiking and biking trails through the mountainous Highlands, including the iconic Ben Nevis. The main living room is a vision of cabin cosiness, with a working wood stove at the centre. There are books and board games galore for quiet nights spent at home and a sprawling private garden should the sun come out. With several living rooms, you won't be short on space – our favourite is the first-floor lounge with breathtaking views of the rugged scenery.

Wood Smoke Whispers

Escape to the Scottish Highlands and experience the beauty of nature at this modern cottage. With underfloor heating and a wood-burning stove, there’s no better place to hunker down than the living area. But when the weather’s fair, we recommend taking advantage of the decking area and garden that stretches down to the River Slatach. You’ll even be able to spot the famous Jacobite steam train passing nearby. While your host provides essentials like tea, coffee and sugar, if you need to stock up on other provisions, Fort William is the closest town, a thirty-minute drive away.

Juxtaposing the old with the new, the rustic with the elegant and medieval with romantic – this 16th Century castle is a magical force to be reckoned with. Perched in a quaint Scottish village amidst the ancient landscape of Kilmartin Glen and 8,000 years of history – you'll be located off the beaten track and in one of Europe's most archaeological areas when staying here.  From ancient forts, burial tombs, rock carvings and standing stone – unspoiled Scotland awaits your discovery. With its restoration complete in 2019, the castle itself retains tons of original character, alongside modern home comforts and stylish designs throughout. Each of the five guest suites features its own ensuite bathroom, underfloor heating, walk-in wet rooms, luxury bedding and there are three delightful bathtubs to fight over. Around the castle, you'll find plenty of nooks, window seats and comfy corners to cosy up in with a hot drink in hand. At the heart of the home, the grand hall provides the perfect place to gather around the fire in the evenings. We love the quirky designs here – from the artwork to the antique furniture pieces the castle is brimming with elegance and personality. Over in the dining room, enjoy a delicious locally sourced home-cooked meal under the original stone barrel-vaulted ceiling for a truly majestic experience. Beyond the castle walls, the extensive gardens include a large outdoor dining table alongside a barbecue, pizza oven and a fire pit for alfresco dining. You'll find everything you need in the outdoor kitchen – it's fully equipped with crockery, cutlery, cool boxes and hot running water. There's even a wild swimming pond for those brave enough to take a dip in nature, and an outdoor bathroom with a wood burner. Set off on blissful walks to discover what the hosts call "an outdoor museum" as Kilmartin Glen has the largest number of historical finds within a six-mile radius. Whether you're into paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, mountain biking, photography, distillery tours, eating out or even island hopping – the village of Kilmartin Village, just a three-minute walk away quite simply has it all. 

Castle Gold

Perfectly positioned close to the Great Glen Way and the Caledonian Canal, there are plenty of walking opportunities to enjoy from this home’s doorstep. Or take in the beautiful Ben Nevis and Aonach Mhor scenery from this abode’s hot tub and garden. You can enjoy the stunning vistas from inside this single-storey home as well. We love that the main bedroom opens out onto the terrace, too. This home makes a great Scottish escape for friends, families, avid walkers and skiers.
