Up this far north, it’s untamed Scottish Highlands at its finest. This stone cottage blends in perfectly with the wild countryside around it and there’s a lockable shed to store bikes, kayaks and outdoor adventure equipment so you can make the most of the lochs, rivers and woodlands on your doorstep. The town of Forres is a ten-minute drive away when you need to stock up. The private garden looks out over the rolling hills of the estate this home is set in, which has been owned by the same family since 1738. Inside, you’ll find the perfect blend of rustic cottage charm and modern convenience. The wood-burning stove set in the old hearth is pure tradition, while the kitchen has every appliance and crockery you need for self-catering. If the weather is fine, choose to dine outside on the patio. A world away from the city, the only traffic you’ll get here is the odd pine marten or roe deer passing through the orchard. *It is just over a m...

Once the home of the animals that worked the mill, this converted barn cottage has the air of a luxurious Scottish bothy. The wood-burning stove is the focal point of the living room where a selection of board games and coffee-table books provide some off-grid entertainment (though there is a widescreen TV too). Dining is set for six in the open-plan living area, and a stylish modern kitchen has everything you need for self-catering. Tucked above the kitchen on a mezzanine level, you’ll find a sleeping nook with a king-size bed serving as the second bedroom. Outside, there’s a private, walled garden with outdoor seating and a chiminea for colder evenings. Exploring the grounds of the old mill you might spot wild ducks, owls, heron and otters alongside the resident, friendly sheep. You’re welcome to apples, plums and hazelnuts from the orchard and can forage for brambles and elderflower too. Further afield, hilltop walks await in the Lam...
Located in Edinburgh’s vibrant New Town, this colourful flat is just minutes away from the city’s main sights. Set within a grand Georgian building, it’s a compact and comfortable home that has everything you need to make the most out of Scotland’s buzzing capital. Wake up in the stylish bedroom then fix yourself a coffee to enjoy in the sunny living room, or head downstairs to the cafe for a pastry and a cup of tea. When you’re ready to hit the town, you’ll find Edinburgh Castle just fifteen minutes away on foot, and The Royal Mile only a twenty-minute walk away. After a day of exploring this scenic city, treat yourself to a reinvigorating in-home massage before enjoying an intimate dinner at home or heading out to enjoy Edinburgh’s cutting-edge food scene. *The host has several very similar homes in the same building – the exact layout, views, and design of your home might vary slightly from the photos*There is an accessible bathroom...
The Sheltered Annexe
Cairngorm Charm
Edinburgh’s New Town has a slightly misleading name – rather than glossy, modern blocks, this district is purely home to gorgeous Georgian architecture from the 18th and 19th centuries. This flat is no exception. An eight-minute walk to the lush green hills of Princes Street Gardens (whose steep banks are still standing from when this was a loch in the 1400s), you’ll be able to enjoy both natural and urban delights. Among streets of cafés, bakeries, and independent shops, your home has a welcoming bright-blue door to beckon you inside. Its hallway offers an incredibly stylish way to enter – ornate floor tiles and arches, gilded cornicing, and an antique sideboard set the tone for what’s to come inside. Your living space is bright, airy, and sophisticated. With a unique black marble fireplace and two huge, original sash windows, it has a regal feel with an understated elegance. Rich wooden features can be found throughout, bringing a war...
