# Best Scottish Cottages

> Best Scottish Cottages is a curated advertising and listing platform for independent, self-catering holiday properties across Scotland. We are not a booking agent: guests browse listings and contact property owners directly, with no commission or booking fees taken. Our ethos: the unique, the quirky, the hidden, and the divine. The one stipulation is simple: it has to be the best.

Best Scottish Cottages has helped Scottish self-catering owners win direct bookings since 2017, listing hand-picked Highland hideaways, island escapes, cosy cottages, shepherd huts, treehouses and luxury lodges. Every listing links guests straight to the property owner, so bookings happen without commission or a middleman. This is the opposite of OTA platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, Sykes Cottages, and Cottages.com.
