Number 4, Loch Shiel View, Glenfinnan sleeps 4
The minute we got there, we met Mr. Colin. He was the best—so kind, nice, helpful, and had a great smile! The place was fantastic, with a gorgeous lake view and it was a short walk to amazing historical sites. Plus, the cottage was fabulous, especially the fireplace! They even provided wood and matches, so we could set by the fire and enjoy a warm night. It was spotless and fully equipped—felt just like home. Sharon and Mary, thanks for getting back to us so quickly and easily!

Wallace Lodge - Unique experience
I booked this property for my husband and his 3 friends for his 40th birthday. Wallace was extremely communicative at all times, and was very welcoming to the group on arrival. One of the guests arrived early and while Wallace explained the place would not be ready till check in, the guest was able to fish on the loch till later in the day, and thoroughly enjoyed himself! The property was as described, perfectly clean and the location was exactly what I was looking for when I booked. It was easy to find, and the walking guides and maps of the local area were very helpful too. Would book again!

Cragowlet House East. (1200 sq. ft)
Lovely place, well equipped Kitchen. Lovely and peaceful. Very comforrable and all the things you may need. Good phone reception, wifi connection and TV. Toy cupboard for our girls. Lovely bathrooms and bedrooms and beautiful views over the loch from lounge window. Lovely garden. Very helpful and welcoming host.

‘Tigh na ba’, Loch Etive, Argyll
If you are looking for off-the-beaten-track luxury with incredible wildlife, views of beautiful Loch Etive and the surrounding mountains which are second to none - then this is the place for you! Our family of 7 had a wonderful stay here and we were sad to leave. We highly recommend this Air BnB and we would love to visit again. Note: we were thankful to find teabags and coffee - but bring your own milk. ;)

Highland loch-side, 2 bed house with amazing view.
If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay in the Highlands, don‘t look any further, you‘ve found it! This place is gorgeous! The house is spacious, clean and has spectacular views. We loved to cook and sit in the well-equipped kitchen and admire the ever-changing Ben Nevis. The remoteness of the place made it so special to us, yet you are still close enough to Fort William (40 minutes) and a bunch of other places. A car is a must though. Elizabeth is a wonderful host who provided us with fresh eggs, milk and a basket full of treats. She gave great tips and always reacted promptly. We were sad to leave and hope to be back!

The Boat House (Ardtornish)
We had the most amazing Xmas in the boat house, the location was spectacular and so peaceful. Hannah was very accommodating and answered all our questions very quickly. Would highly recommend a stay at the boat house to anyone wanting some rest and relaxation. A little slice of heaven.

Detached House with Stunning Loch View near Skye.
Beautiful house in a beautiful setting. House is much more spacious than the photos suggest. And great views out of the house all round. Warm throughout the house the full trip. Underfloor heating is a joy. Perfect place to get away and just chill. No hassles, traffic or people. And Kimberley was on hand for any help / advice. Would definitely go back.

Creag an Loch Self Catering
Might be the best Airbnb I’ve stayed at. Views galore, location surreal, away from all tourists. Was great having a coffee in the morning watching the sheep and baby cows playing in the front!

Beautiful Sea View Caravan Close to Inverness
We had a lovely stay, we will definitely return! Communication was great and the views are amazing. It was very clean and there are comfy beds.

Wythop School, Lake District
We have had a wonderful Easter weekend at Kim’s Place the Old School House was great! It was the right size for us as a family hence why we booked it, we enjoyed the open dining living area, the little added touches like dressing gowns, and it had the essentials for our weekend. It was a short drive to Cockermouth where we went to eat or collect takeaway from restaurants. Beautiful views and surroundings. Was a home from home for us, had everything we needed. Thank you Kim. ☺️

Hideaway country cottage near Edinburgh
The cottage was beautiful, in a beautiful setting. It was so cosy and very homely. Alasdair was friendly and helpful, brought logs promptly when asked. Lovely walks on the doorstop and had a really lovely holiday, would come to go back and stay again.

Scottish Highland Family House with Sea View
Diana’s place was perfect for our family holiday. The location is both tranquil and remote in the way we like but not far from interesting and beautiful places (Applecross, Torrodin, Plockton and Skye all less than an hour away). The house was comfy and looks right into loch Kishorn. It’s well equipped and there are great local amenities nearby in kishorn and loch carron. Milo (Diana’s partner) was a helpful and charming host and we would absolutely recommend this lovely house for a highland holiday.

Cartref House - a short stroll from Loch Ness
We loved Julie’s place! Location was perfect, walking distance to everything in Fort Augustus and a great base from which to explore the Highlands. The house is beautiful, incredibly comfortable and very spacious for the 6 of us. Julie provided a great welcome with treats and even crackers ready for our Christmas meal. The kitchen is very well equipped. Nice garden and plenty of space for parking. Very highly recommended, would love to come back.

Pet friendly, Loch Ness cottage at old Abbey
Amazing cottage that is well equipped with everything you would need. The grounds are beautiful and well kept and the additional access to the facilities in the Abbey is such a delight. Everything is close by and for outdoor adventures you cannot have a better base. We loved it!

Bells View
Perfect place to spend time as a bigger group. Flexible and comfortable communal spaces. Well stocked kitchen. Lovely views, very quiet but close to Kippford amenities. Slightly cold in some of the bedrooms, but blankets and heated sheets available. Would definitely return.

Greenhouse
This place is absolutely beautiful - we could not fault it. Mark and Tamsin could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The house is lovely, very well equipped and was perfect for my elderly father who has mobility problems. We did not want to leave!

Azalea Cottage by the Bay
A lovely cottage with beautiful views across the loch. The cottage had a lovely garden and decking, the kitchen was well catered and the beds were comfy. The folder provided had very clear and concise instructions and we felt able to use the cottage easily, including the central heating system (which isn’t always the case in different properties). Hosts were quick to respond to messages. Would definitely recommend and would look at their portfolio of properties in the future.

Ardfyne Lodge with stunning sea loch views
Eight of us stayed over New Year. We were a mixture of ages (+ a four legged member) and the house worked perfectly for us. The location was perfect with a couple of options for eating and drinking within easy walking distances. The house is beautiful with stunning views and very well kitted out. It is a large house but had a very cosy feel which we all commented on. Highly recommend a stay here.

Shore House, Kilcreggan
We had a wonderful New Year here. The stunning and ever changing views across the Clyde from the large living room windows are excellent. A great place to relax, draw and spot wildlife. The place is spacious and plenty of room for 2 couples. This is our 2nd stay and we loved it.

East Lodge
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

Hill View
This is an extremely well-presented modern property in a great position very near to Kenmore and some nice restaurants. The only slight oddity is that the owner controls the heating externally via an App which some people might not like. The manager was very responsive and sorted out an initial problem with the heating and we were told to contact her if we were not warm enough. The view over Loch Tay from the upstairs living room is over the houses in front but is still a lovely view. We would definitely recommend this property to friends.

Cheerful 5 bedroom home on Loch Lomond
Great house in a beautiful location. The size of the rooms was perfect for our group. The hot tub was ready for us arriving and the fridge was generously stocked with complimentary drinks! The hosts were very prompt and helpful with their responses to our messages. Thank you for a great weekend!

Cottage with beautiful views
We were greeted warmly by Susan and Peter on our arrival and knew immediately that we had chosen the perfect cottage for our holiday. The cottage is very well equipped and there is an abundance of wildlife to see and the most beautiful scenery to enjoy. We explored the area on foot, in the car and on our bikes and returning to Kennel Cottage at the end of the day was blissful! The view from the cottage garden is breathtaking. Thank you to Susan and Peter for sharing this beautiful cottage. We hoped for tranquility and lots of wildlife and we weren’t disappointed. We saw more than we even hoped for. We would definitely stay again. Communication throughout was superb. Thank you so much!

Creinch Lodge
Absolutely spotless location! I used to stay at Cameron House, but I actually prefer this place now. It’s incredibly clean, peaceful, and has a welcoming atmosphere that really stands out. Highly recommend!
