“Lovely break” We had a lovely stay for 2 nights. The house is beautiful. We were a group of 8 and there was more than enough room for us all. The bedrooms are lovely and the bed were very comfortable. All the bedrooms were en-suite. The living are was also beautiful and the kitchen was very well equipped. It was very cosy at night time with the log burner on. A really good location for Inverness and also Loch Lomond. We had a great time and will definitely return in the future. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely couple of day away.

“Great trip to Scotland” Our group of four persons visited the cottage in late march and we stayed for eleven days. We really enjoyed our time at the cottage and found it to be really comfortable. Everything in the cottage was clean and in top condition. The fireplace and the hot tub (wonderful after a day of hiking) were great and the kitchen equipment exceeded our expectations. The surrounding landscape is lovely and nice for walks. We did some great hiking tours despite the snow. There is a nice café down the street, too. Although a car comes in handy for getting some supplies and access to a wider range of activities. The booking and everything related to it was easy to be done even though we travelled from a foreign country. Pipers cottage is one of the best cottages I've ever visited and I would definitely recommend it.

“Fantastic house” This house is amazing. It is very well equipped and finished to a very high standard. Bathrooms and showers are first class. The house is extremely well insulated and is therefore very warm when you get back from a cold day out. The kitchen is very well equipped and has everything that you need to cook whatever you fancy. The location is also first class with a lovely woodland walk right on your doorstep. A short walk into the main town as well. We would definitely recommend this house.

“Stylish and stunning accommodation with beautiful views over the loch” This house exceeded our expectations and is even better than the photos. It is very thoughtfully laid out with everything you need supplied. The owners Chris and Da were very welcoming and helpful and our stay felt far too short!. It is perfect for visiting the beautiful west coast and we were treated to some of the best Scottish weather with fabulous blue skies. Would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation to anyone and look forward to staying again.

“Superb location if you want to just get away from it all” Excellent location for a crowd of folk who are interested in getting to know some remoter parts of Scotland. Brilliant for walking with dogs, enjoying fantastic scenery and eating great seafood. Weather was pretty inclement (very windy and quite a lot of rain) but it didn't stop us getting out and exploring the landscape.

“Tasteful, comfortable home with great central location” Lovely house,short walk from town centre. Comfortable, tasteful furnishings. Very clean. Great little garden which we enjoyed using, eating meals there in the sun. Better wi-fi than at home. Well equipped kitchen with lots of little extras available - tea, coffee, oils, sauces, cleaning liquids etc. Also a welcome pack of fresh bread, milk and things. There is a very handy (but not too close to be noisy) Tesco metro 3 mins walk away. Very helpful and accommodating owners. Street parking right by the front door. Inverness is a great city, just a few minutes pleasant walk over the river. Be advised to book if you want to eat out at weekends and most shops shut by 17.30. Lots of things to do without travelling too far. Some highlights were seeing dolphins close to shore at Chanory Point just north of inverness and a distillery visit (we looked out for a small one). Lovely beaches, lots of walking, castles, Loch Ness ( you should book a fortnight!)

“The perfect place to get away from it all.” Samhach is cosy but modern, its very well equipped and ideal for a couple. Its perfectly located to explore the Highlands and the house itself is surrounded by stunning woodland. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and we are keen to come back. I'd definitely recommend it.

Why Scottish Highlands?

The Scottish Highlands are among Europe's most imposing landscapes. Visitors come expecting crags and lochs, windswept mountains and deep-rooted tradition; that's exactly what they get. Venturing north of Stirling and Dundee, the intrepid traveler won't find another city until Inverness, where the legendary Loch Ness meets the Moray Firth. From there, winding roads and unspoilt vistas carry you to John O'Groats and the steely North Sea.

Highlands holiday cottages come in all shapes and sizes. If you're hoping to get closer to nature, lochside log cabins are an excellent - and economical - option. Or how about a stone cottage near the foot the UK's tallest mountain, Ben Nevis? Unless you're staying in a larger town, self catering in the Scottish Highlands is often the best option - it's unusual to get room service on a mountainside! If you're planning to stay somewhere truly remote, be sure to arrange some basic supplies beforehand.

Weird and wonderful

Without a doubt, Scotland has the UK's strangest wildlife. So strange, in fact, that it has eluded would-be monster hunters for decades. If you want to catch a glimpse of Nessie, perhaps a cruise along the vast Loch Ness, plus a tour of the crumbled Urquhart Castle, will be the ideal day out.

In the Cairngorm mountains to the south, you can walk among Britain's only herd of reindeer. You'll need a good pair of hiking boots, but the opportunity to feed them by hand is as popular with adults as it is with younger visitors.

Into the wild

Those with the stomach for adventure might consider scaling all 1,200m of Ben Nevis to reach the highest point in the country, 1,346m above sea level. You can leave your ice axes at home in summer, but it is a tough hike. Set aside a whole day to do it and savour the view from the summit.

From the highest point to the most northerly: at John O'Groats you can look out to sea from the very tip of mainland Scotland. A few miles west in Gills Bay or Scrabster, you can hop on a boat to the Orkney islands, home to thriving communities of islanders and countless wild birds. There are only a few sailings a day, so plan thoroughly if you don't intend to stay.

Tiranui Cottage
Excellent cottage for 3 generations

We had visitors over from the USA and this cottage was perfect for our needs, it's in a great location with fantastic views over the loch. The cottage had everything you would need for a visit to the Glencoe area, would definitely stay again if in the area. … see more
RiverView Cottage - Loch Ness
Cosy and Comfy

Comfortable and cosy cottage ideally placed for visiting and exploring the surrounding area - Ben Nevis, Glen Affric, Aviemore, the Cairngorms. Probably more suited to 2 adults and 2 small children rather than 4 adults. Kitchen has everything you need but with a table and 4 chairs in the middle it is a bit cramped. Having said that, the cottage itself is well presented, clean and tidy. We were even lucky enough to see red deer in the field opposite and a red squirrel appeared in the garden several times. … see more
Spacious Two Bedroomed House Inverness
Overnight stay

The house was lovely, we walked home at night from the festival so felt it was not too far from the centre. Would definitely come back and recommend it. The only fault would be a later check-out but everything else was great. … see more

Samhach Holiday Apartment
Super apartment, fabulous location

This apartment is exactly as described by the host, it's beautifully decorated and equipped - it's warm, welcoming and comfortable and in a wonderful location. Jan and Paul are generous and thoughtful hosts and we enjoyed getting to know them, their children and their chickens! We were provided with some basic supplies, eggs from the chickens just outside and a lovely welcome pack full of all sorts of goodies. Our dog enjoyed the enclosed deck area which gave her and us a great view of the garden. There are lots of things to do and sights to see in the local area and further afield so the area in general is a great place to visit. We'd highly recommend a stay at Samhach, we loved it! … see more
Courtyard View
This place was perfect!

Ally's little condo was so perfect. Everything was spotless clean, the furniture in the living room was amazingly comfortable and the location couldn't have been more convenient! We went to 2 of the restaurant's she recommended and both were amazing. The Little Schoolhouse in Nairn was FANTASTIC! The only slight downfall I would say was the bed was a little hard for our liking but otherwise a super great place. We would stay here again if we were in the area. … see more
