Self catering has to be the first choice for all the family

Family Self Catering

Thousands of families are choosing to holiday ‘at home’ this year. But that doesn’t have to mean hanging about the house or expensive trips to whizz-bang theme parks. What about renting a real ‘home from home’ in Scotland? Loads to do indoors and outdoors, new experiences, and friendly people to share them with. And somewhere to call home, where you can relax into being yourselves without ‘staff’ looking on.

All these properties offer something special. You can browse the list below or, by clicking the brown ‘Search’ bar, search according to your specific requirements.

With EmbraceScotland you book direct with the owner, giving you access not only to the best prices, but also a wealth of knowledge and advice about how to make the most of the area, and indeed the Festival of your choice.
