Houses and lodges for groups of 8 to 35, from the Highlands to Edinburgh
Hand-picked large holiday homes, lodges and houses across Scotland for groups of 8 to 35, from a laird's house on a private Cowal estate to Highland lodges with saunas and hot tubs. Every place to stay is chosen by us, and you book direct with the owner, with no booking fees.
Whether it's a family reunion, a milestone birthday, a wedding party or friends getting together, these large holiday houses and lodges give everyone room: big kitchens, long dining tables and space to spread out. You book direct with the owner, so you can ask about numbers, dates and extra beds before you commit.
