Here are seven smart reasons why self-catering in Scotland is every bit as spectacular as you imagined:

1. Space & Comfort – A real home from home

Having more space means you’ll feel more comfortable, and no shared communal spaces with other guests. This is one for you if you like your home comforts, giving you the option to take all you need with you, and whether you have family or pets, you can all enjoy the perfect stay in one place.

2. Flexibility & Facilities

You’re definitely likely to appreciate the freedom to do things in your own time, such as your mealtimes, especially if you are travelling with kids, it’s a great perk of opting for self-catering. You can enjoy fully equipped kitchens, which are particularly useful if you have varying dietary requirements to consider.

3. A chance to sample local culture and food

As a home away from home you can easily get to sample local produce and experience the real flavours of Scotland. You’ll have the flexibility to have days out and explore, as well as take in the local scenery and culture.

4. More economical & more choice

One of the best things about self-catering is that you can have your pick of a wide variety of properties, from castles to cabins there is so much to choose from, with prices to suit your budget too.

5. Customise your needs

With so many properties on offer the facilities available are huge. Choose a property with a hot tub, a pet friendly cottage, large country house for your family group, hire a butler, pre-book your shopping, pre-book day trips, the opportunities are endless.

6. More Privacy

If it is privacy you’re after, usually self-catering is the preferred option.  You can come and go as you please and with an entire property to yourself, you won’t be bumping into other guests.

7. Ideal for socialising and celebrating

If you are in a large group and planning a get-together, there are some great holiday houses and country retreats perfect for family holidays, celebrations, and gatherings. Choose to stay in a house with a hot tub, swimming pool, games room, tennis court or golf course, there is so much choice.
