Get away to the Highlands to the comfort of a holiday home

The Highlands of Scotland are an attractive option for a self catering holiday if you want to get away from it all and spend time immersed in the beautiful countryside. 

Scottish holiday cottages in the mountains
 

Picture glens, lochs and mountains and you’ve pictured the Highlands.  The Highlands is one of the largest areas in Scotland and includes Nairnshire, Ross and Cromarty and Sutherland, yet very few people live there, making the Highlands a great choice if you want a country cottage holiday in a peaceful and tranquil part of Scotland.  The Highlands is also home to the Cairngorms National Park and a good number of deer and eagles.  The Highlands are a good choice if you are looking for a dream cottage holiday,perhaps with a log burner, in beautiful peaceful Scottish countryside. Lots of luxurious Highland holiday homes are equipped with the latest pampering features such as hot tubs and saunas for extra appeal.

Stay in a top-notch village cottage - some have swimming pools

If you have a head for heights then rent a lovely cottage in Tomintoul, the village with the highest altitude in the Highlands.
