Distillery & Brewery Breaks

Explore amazing places to stay in Scotland

Scotland has more than 140 whisky distilleries and a growing number of craft breweries and gin makers. Our Distillery and Brewery Breaks are cottages close to some of the best, from Speyside and Royal Deeside to the islands and the far north. Tour a distillery, buy a bottle you can’t find at home and walk back without worrying about driving. Book direct with the owner, who will usually know which tours to book ahead.
