When people rent holiday cottages, it’s not all about features!

Yes hot tubs and log fires are highly desirable – but it’s also about ‘what’s on locally‘ and owners are encouraged to give their top tips and favorite places to visit and things to do in the area.  There is no better advocate for an area than someone who knows it well.

In Scotland, Highland games, wildlife parks, Lochs and rivers for fishing, bird watching – elusive and endangered species, gardens to visit, golf courses, touring routes, mountains to climb, local markets, distilleries etc… let us know all about it and we will publish top holiday tips with every property.

It is important to promote your region and all that it offers. Every happy visitor will tell people about the area and the exciting things that they did on holiday, so owners need to ensure that they have the best time.

Let us know yours!

Pet friendly cottages

Do you want to take your dog on holiday with you – who could say no to these four legged friends?

In common with most self-catering holiday cottages, many owners ask that pets are not left unattended in the property for any length of time.

It’s a dogs life!

A staycation in England is  very popular as people want to spend time with their pets and going away without them means expensive boarding kennels. Most properties    that welcome pets will advertise this service along with if they have a secure garden. They will all vary but new and exciting walks will await.

Taking a dog abroad can also have its challenges even now that Micro chips and  pet passports have become common place! To travel to dog-friendly accommodation in  Scotland , England, and Wales , there is road transport links, but to get to Ireland

you will need to get a ferry. Don’t be put off – many people travel with dogs and more holiday cottages welcome them than don’t. Some property owners specify 1 or 2 dogs, so e welcome other animals such as cats, house rabbits and birds, others are more specific.  People who wish to take their horse on holiday can enjoy riding different terrains – near the beach or wonderful countryside hacks.

Whatever you have decided to give up for Lent, one thing is for certain it won’t be holidays!

So, when you need a distraction to keep you away from the chocolate or wine why not look at the wide range of accommodation on our website and book your next getaway.

Garden room / extra space

Any way way to improve your holiday cottage is to add extra space!

‘sitouterie’

A ‘sitouterie’, ‘logia’ , ‘covered patio’ or extra covered garden area for dining outside can add a magical element to a self-catering holiday home. It gives flexibility for places to sit, the ability to be ‘outside’ even when the weather is not so good.

Perthshire based – The Shed Company can build you extra space.

Happy to recommend this company.
