Holiday cottages in Scotland

In Scotland you'll find different types of self-catering cottages. Book a place where you can enjoy the great outdoors, take a dip in the hot tub in a renovated barn, or light the wood-burning stove in a traditional fishing cottage and allow that holiday feeling to sweep over you. Many cottages are pet-friendly so you can even take the dog!
