Family-friendly holiday rentals in Scotland

Gail’s house was brilliant. Very tranquil and in a peaceful location, and the wildlife was fab. The house was huge and contained everything you might need for a fun weekend away!

Booked this cottage as a getaway to propose to my partner. She said yes, which was great, and the cottage is fantastic. The photos really don't do it justice, the bathroom is massive, bed really comfy and the hot tub is incredible and feels really private (pack flip flops for getting to and from the hottub). The gate to the river is lovely but it's steep so make sure you've got some hiking boots with you. If not, just leave via the front door and turn left to get to the same place. 20 minute drive to Carlisle and about 10 mins to Gretna. Plenty to see and do but you will need to drive, couldn't find a taxi service that was open. Had a really relaxing time here and can't recommend it enough. ps. avoid the cows in the field next to the river walk (the public footpath going to st Michael's well) - they will chase you.

Extremely pleased with our stay. Great place for a party.

The Old School House is stunning Air BnB , super clean, very well appointed and Elizabeth is an excellent host. Would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Newton Stewart.

Beautiful home in picturesque surroundings. We couldn’t have asked for more! When we had rainy weather we enjoyed the hot tub and fire. Thank you for hosting us!

We had an amazing week at Nether Glenny! The location is absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking views and endless opportunities for walking right from the cottage. Alison was extremely accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially loved relaxing in the hot tub after a day of exploring the beautiful local area. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with fantastic hospitality, this is the place to be. Highly recommended—we can’t wait to return!

Absolutely stunning cottage! We want to come back as soon as possible. Very clean, peaceful and stunning views.

We had an absolutely lovely time at Ali's place. Spacious, clean and very comfortable. Hot tub and garnden really make the place with stunning views. Easy access to Edinburgh by train and car and also the Fife coastal path. We loved it! would be very happy to return again one day. Ali was the perfect host.

Another perfect stay at no.30. We love staying in Elaine’s beautiful home. Cosy, comfortable and well equipped. We could sit and stare out to sea all day. Planning our next trip already. Thank you again!

Just as described. Perfect location. Great recommendations. Accommodating staff!

We stayed at Simone's place in Lossiemouth as part of a road trip across Speyside, and this was by far the most comfortable and homely place we stayed at. The attention to detail at Simone's property was second to none and the views of the beach were incredible. I would highly recommend staying here if you're visiting the area, Simone was a lovely host and her property was too!

We couldn't be happier with our stay at this cottage. It was a cozy, comfortable and peaceful place to come back to after our days walking and exploring. The kitchen was well-equipped and so many thoughtful details were everywhere (loved the hot water bottles and the chess set!) Everything was clean and Elaine's communication was prompt, friendly and helpful. If we are ever back in this part of the world, we would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay at the lodge and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other travellers. This property really does offer a lot compared to others in the surrounding area and is good value for money. Our party was only 4 family members (3 humans and a dog) but the lodge can easily accommodate 6 (and a pet). The living area is bright and spacious with fantastic views out and we found the accommodation was perfect for our needs. The property is off grid and has great green credentials as power is supplied via 3 renewable energy sources. (hydro/Ground source heat pump and new solar photovoltaic panels The lodge is situated about 4.5m along a private road which funs alongside Glen Loy so I would say that having a car is pretty much a necessity. We will fondly remember passing through flocks of sheep along the route. There are a few nice walks to summits that can be made directly from the lodge so it good base to explore and see Glen Loy from. Highly recommended

We had a wonderful stay at Mangle Cottage. The view is spectacular and the garden is very pretty with plenty of seating options. Indoors it is airy and fairly tardis- like-plenty of space for us and our two young children. Lots to do in the area. Great eateries in Pittenweem. We would love to stay again. Dawn was lovely to communicate with responding to enquiries promptly.

House was lovely, clean with lots of space. Host has thoughtfully left basic groceries for us & even fresh fruit. The surroundings were beautiful and brilliant for dogs. Shame that the hot tub was out of action as that was one of the reasons we had booked it.

We had a four night break at The Yair and absolutely loved it. The house is lovely inside, cosy, comfortable, and has everything you need for a home away from home. The garden is beautiful and it was very enjoyable spending time outside listening to the birds and stargazing. We have already booked to come back for another stay next year.

Absolutely excellent! Wish I could give John and Honeymug six stars. The cottage was a true home-from-home. It was comfy, cosy, well-equipped and just perfect for a family getaway. The host really had thought of everything from local walk guides, books, DVDs, towels for the dog … everything! I could’ve stayed for weeks. The holiday cottage site was an amazing bonus. We were expecting a pool and a gym, however these has recently been renovated to include an outside hot tub, sauna, steam room and excellent luxe facilities. An amazing added bonus. I didn’t want to leave! My teenager loved the gym while his younger siblings enjoyed the games room with pool table. We were pleasantly surprised to find a restaurant on site too. We had an issue with the DVD player not working and John came the next day to replace it. Awesome host. Beautiful location. Fantastic base to explore Northumberland and everything it has to offer. Highly recommend!

The apartment is really bright and spacious and tastefully decorated. The living area and kitchen are perfect. The apartment has everything you need including a washing machine and dryer. Audrey explained everything very clearly to us when we arrived to drop off our luggage (the owners facilitated an early drop off before 4pm). In terms of improvements, the water boiler is quite noisy so if someone used the bathroom late, it could wake other guests. We would have appreciated shampoo in the bathroom - some of our party flew with hand luggage only with a small liquids allowance. We enjoyed our stay and it was convenient for the EICC, a 10-15 minute walk. The welcome breakfast pack was a nice touch. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, including Napoli-themed Pizzeria 1926 with delicious pizzas!

A great getaway with loads to do close by for whatever mood you're in - great towns and cities like Calendar and Stirling less than half an hour away, equally beautiful countryside and multiple waterfalls, lochs and walks to choose from on the doorstep. Our toddler loved the on site swimming pool and the grown ups enjoyed the peaceful views from the hot tub too! Rosie was so friendly and accommodating.

We’ve stayed in some very impressive Air B&Bs across the world but this was far and away the most impressive. It was an extraordinary experience staying in the apartment in the old school building. The view from the great windows was breathtaking and everything inside the apartment was so well done - would highly recommend, in fact it’s a Must if coming to Loch Ness & the western Highlands.

We loved our stay here. It is exactly as advertised and the views looking out across Loch Linnhe were stunning. It was perfect for what we needed. Andrew was a great host and helped us get settled nice and quickly. I’d recommend to anyone looking to visit Fort William and the surrounding area and would love to visit again myself!

We enjoy this cottage so much that this is the 3rd time we have been. The perfect place to relax.

I had a really great stay at Norma's place. Very spacious and the location is ideal, just a short walk from the village. Great for access to Kielder forest. Would recommend and would like to stay again when in the area.

We had an amazing stay at the Orchard hideaway - it is in beautiful, rural and peaceful surroundings, and is exactly like the photos. It is private, warm and very clean, the hot tub is great and well maintained, and the host has thought of everything to make it a comfortable relaxing stay. We would love to come back and 100% recommend!
