Then, book yourself some relaxing and restorative treatments at the nearby spa or head over to one of the many nearby golf courses for some fresh air fun. After a day of activities and exploring, come back for a soak in the eight-person hot tub before curling up in the plush bedrooms for a wonderfully peaceful night’s sleep.

Built in the 1900s. this magical estate is a National Monuments of Scotland building and was designed by two artists.

This splendidly restored Victorian house will whisk you away to another era. Designed by a prominent 19th-century Scottish architect, this place retains its original charm. We were stunned by the ornate plasterwork, massive fireplaces and antique furnishings. Wake up to a view of the shimmering waters of Loch Long and The River Clyde. Peek through the telescope in the lounge and see if you can spot the isle of Arran in the distance. Every care has been taken to make the place as kid-friendly as possible – from ensuring the sockets and fireplaces are covered to providing high-chairs and cribs. Your little ones will also find plenty of books, toys and a games console. You can sip a cuppa undistrubed, while the kids play make-believe in the grand rooms and sprawling garden. If you can tear yourself away, miles of stunning natural trails await you in nearby Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. In the evening, stoke the logs in the fireplace, pour yourself a glass of fine Scotch whisky and make the most of your waterside abode.

What could be better than spotting red squirrels, lapwings, house martins and geese in your private garden? Well, spotting them from the bubbling warmth of a hot tub for one. This 18th century home sits in glorious Perthshire countryside in the hamlet of Monzie. It’s a seven-minute drive to the nearest shops, pubs and coffee shops in idyllic Crieff. The surrounding countryside is home to winding walks (some from your doorstep) where you can spot deer and red kites, cycling trails, fishing and golfing. Though you may just want to stay in your secluded country paradise, playing croquet on the lawn, soaking in the hot tub or enjoying a barbecue in the sun. Inside, you’ll find several spots for the group to spread out – curled up with a book in the sunny conservatory, perched by the crackling fire in the main lounge, playing table football in the games room or perhaps even tinkling a tune on the upright piano in the dining room. The kitchen is the heart of the home, where a four-door Aga purrs with endless warmth. Homely touches like kids’ drawings framed on the wall and a selection of books and board games elevate this spot beyond your average holiday home.

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.

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.

Breakfast Included

Charming Scottish escapes don’t get much more charming than this cottage. It’s tucked away amid the cobbled causeways of pretty Culross, a 17th-century town that’s been used as a filming location for Outlander. On your way to the cottage, you might pass by the pier, where you can breathe in the bracing air from the Firth of Forth and take in the view. 

Once you step through the door of the cottage, you’ll feel a million miles from your ordinary life – R&R is in the air. There’s an enchanting mix of the old and new here, with vintage furniture and original artwork blending in with modern amenities and every luxury you might need. You can spend your days exploring the area and your evenings curled up by the fire with a dram from the honesty bar. When the weather is fine, you’ll want to soak up the sunshine in the suntrap terrace, dining on charcuterie lovingly prepared by your host. There are thoughtful touches at every turn here – it’s impossible not to get into holiday mode. 

Though the cottage feels miles away, it’s actually only a thirty-nine-minute drive from Glasgow so you can get your fill of the bright city lights. We’d stay closer to home though, strolling through Culross in the mornings and devouring books in the reading nook at the cottage in the afternoon. This is a dreamy place to call home, even for a few days. 

Wood Smoke & Whisky

Indoor Pool

Heated Pool

It really is all about location when it comes to this former dower home, set on a slope right above the east side of Loch Fyne. With a private bay and over fifty acres of estate, it’s a personal haven for anyone looking to explore Scotland at a more mellow pace. 

Though historic – the house was used as a base for the Norwegian commandos who went on the Heroes of Telemark raid during WWII – you’ll likely spend more time outside of the home, but with plenty of windows facing out onto the waters, it won’t be the worst thing if you do find yourself curled up next to the wood-burner with a cup of coffee. With those breathtaking views visible from almost everywhere, including the games room, keep yourselves entertained with friendly table tennis competitions or a few rounds of pool.

When colder days force you away from the bay, pack up your spades and buckets and trade the loch waters for a heated indoor pool. Boost your endorphins in the sauna room every morning before cobbling breakfast together in the generous kitchen, and when you’re ready for adventure, set off for a day trip on the ferry or in search of golf in Tighnabruaich.

Craobhan

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.

Highlands Hideaway

Baby Bath

This bright apartment is the ideal base for exploring the west of Scotland and its stunning landscapes. Located on a pretty estate in the town of Blanefield, it provides easy access to the great outdoors, and has space for your whole group to relax in style between adventures. 

The chic living space has pistachio green sofas where you can stretch out and watch a great movie to unwind at the end of a busy day. Head into the kitchen, and you'll find everything you need to cook up some hearty fare to enjoy in the stylish dining area – make sure you pause to admire the quirky unicorn wallpaper. There's even some outdoor space for you to enjoy – pour a dram of whiskey to sip on the balcony or wander through the shared gardens and admire the little loch. 

The West Highland Way, Scotland's most famous walk, is only ten minutes away from your front door, so hikers can be first to hit the trail in the morning. There are also riding stables under ten minutes away on foot, a range of local shops and cafés, and Glengoyne Distillery is a five-minute drive away. And, if you want to explore further afield then you're in the perfect location – Glasgow and Stirling are both within driving distance.
