Castle vacation rentals in Scotland

We could not have been more happy with our stay at the castle, hosts were great and the location gave us lots to see and do. If you love history, beautiful surroundings, great little towns and castles to explore you will not be disappointed. The accommodation was lovely, clean and had everything we needed for the stay. Walks along the little brook, hosts allowed a little walk around the castle walled garden. It's like stepping back in time - just wonderful and couldn't be happy, wished we stayed longer.

We had an incredible experience staying at Billy's property! From the moment we arrived, Billy was an outstanding host, making sure everything was perfectly in place and ready for our arrival. The house was spacious and easily accommodated all 6 of us with plenty of room to spare. One of the highlights of our stay was being greeted with freshly baked blueberry muffins – a thoughtful and delicious touch that made us feel right at home. The house had all the amenities we needed, making it feel just like our own home. We particularly enjoyed the private access to the property and the hot tub, which was a great way to unwind after a day of exploring. We’ll definitely be returning and have already recommended this place to our friends and family. Thanks again, Billy, for such a memorable stay! Kind regards, The Brice’s

The lodge was unbelievably beautiful and the pictures don’t do it justice. Felt like a dream and the host was great. Made sure we had what we needed for a peaceful and pleasant stay. Probably one of the best views we’ve had while enjoying our breakfast. Would absolutely recommend East Lodge and will have to come back

Stunning place , we had an amazing time , and did a couple of activities. The grandchildren and children loved the maze the lock , the boat ! Magical memories! Thank you to all the lovely staff too ! Xx

Amazing stay. Castle and apartment was beautiful.

Had an incredible time! Not only was this stay better than the photos, but it was a steal for the cost! Soo enjoyed the privacy and natural beauty at Bamff, extensive wildness and species, and access to the Cairngorms and Highlands. Definitely recommend for a perfect cozy Scottish getaway!

We can’t say enough great things about Geoff and Marie’s place. Everything was perfect. Beds comfy, kitchen filled with utensils, comfortable living and dining areas, lovely outside, I could go on and on in how great our stay was. Oh did I mention central location, close to many great places to visit, a home away from home.

One of our most memorable stays. The west wing of Glengorm is extremely well appointed, with lovely rooms, great kitchen, home-like atmosphere and stunning views. The walls to the sea were breathtaking and invigorating. The sheep were so picturesque, the surprise of the standing stones and seaside cliffs made us so thankful that we booked this spot on Mull. The cafe was a treat, with great Scotts breakfast and cakes! The Aga stove was a treat to cook with. All our guests were overjoyed as were we! We will return!

We could not be more pleased with our stay. The home was beautiful, and Takki was the perfect host. The location was central enough for plenty of fun days out within a short drive while still feeling private and peaceful when at the house. We spent each night playing board games with the kids surrounded by the beautiful autumn leaves and views of the water. We would definitely stay again if we adventure back to the area.

Overall, our stay in Belfast with Dora and Brendan was wonderful. Very cosy facilities, comfortable bed and modern appliances with the added bonus of a swimspa, hot tub and smoke house. Our hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive and went over an above to assist us when we had some personal issues arise. The space is small but comfortable - but important to note would only really suit a couple as there is no kitchen sink, small bathroom and small mini-fridge. Would highly recommend.

Amazing accommodation in a beautiful area! Hosts couldn’t be better. Would highly recommend.

The apartment was perfect: luxurious yet cosy, very well appointed and in the best location, overlooking Loch Ness. The surroundings are breathtaking, we walked part of the South Loch Ness Trail and the Great Glenn Way, both well signposted and well maintained. It was a great short holiday, many thanks.

Doing a family tour of Scotland with 10 (& 1/2) members, we were looking for an authentic Scottish experience when we found Craigston Castle. Craigston was immensely impressionable for all of us, from the warm greeting at the door to the sharing of the Urquhart family history, we felt at home immediately after opening the car door to enter through the grand foyer. Our host was far more attentive than what we are used to on our stays & should merit a separate very lengthy review ,5 stars of course. So much to do on the grounds, & i wish we had more time to completely canvas the whole estate. I feel we all got a good idea of the daily life of the earlier Scotsmen (aside from the updated plumbing). We were all amazed at simply having dinner in the same rooms as the early Urquharts & associates . I can't really explain in this short review what we all received from this short stay, but i guarantee none of us will ever forget it. Experience of a lifetime. Thank you for having us.

Our second time staying here. On arrival we were greeted by Mike who showed us around. Lovely apartment with views onto the Cloisters. We made use of the amenities onsite, and enjoyed the stunning views and historic location. We had a wonderful stay once again.

We had a lovely few days our apartment. As described in the photos, but you are there for the location and the ease to some great local attractions. The view of the Loch is stunning and Fort Augustus is a lovely town. We are at the Boathouse one night - can’t complain had an amazing beef stew. Pool was lovely, and my daughter enjoyed the adventure playground and general grounds. Was met by Jessica on arrival who have had all the instructions we needed. We were in Apartment 17 which was up quite a few sets of stairs so if your mobility is not the best bare that in mind - does have an amazing view of the Loch from flat. Recommend the Loch Cruise and chip shop by the petrol station. We had a great stay, no complaints here

Our family (of 15) really enjoyed our week at the Kinnettles Mansion. The house far outshines the pictures on the website! Everyone couple loved having their own en suite, and each bedroom was really special with a “castle” feel. We spent some great evenings together in the fireplace room, played games in the dining room, and family video games in the cinema room every night. We even had an evening of learning the Texas two-step in the ballroom:). Conveniently close to St. Andrews and all the amenities there—and to the train stop at Leuchars to pick up people from the airport. Recommended rental cars though. Also, don’t expect the castle to get cozy warm everywhere in the winter. They provide space heaters which keep the bedrooms warm, but in the daytime we needed to move the space heaters to the areas we would gather in. Not a problem—still worth it—and an extra benefit was that it kept the family together:). Great hosts! Very responsive and helpful! We loved our stay!!

Wonderful, unique venue. (You have the tower in the castle, which is extremely modern and comfortable. There are few other "apartments" in the castle, but it's not busy.)

Wonderful stay at Eight Bells Cottage. The cottage is cosy and very tastefully furnished with well equipped kitchen and bathroom. The hosts are responsive and very friendly with helpful advice about the area. We would definitely return to this beautiful cottage and stunning area.

This place is beautiful. The beds are comfortable and the place is clean. The bedrooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floor with a very thin, small staircase. Parking is convenient in front of the building. The location is very remote, with nothing in walking distance and difficult to get to/from the town, which I wish I had known prior to booking. However, we made the most of it and the house itself is beautiful and matches the photos.

A great place to stay as a group! Fantastic views of Loch Lomond. Was a perfect location for our trip for my brother’s wedding at Cameron House! Graham was a very responsive and accommodating host!
