Scottish Cottages’ room with a view

Ial Na Mara with Scottish Cottages

New properties have been added to Scottish Cottages’ handpicked portfolio boosting it to nearly 500 for this summer.

They include Ial na Mara – Gaelic for “a glint of sunshine by the sea” – within sight of Eilean Donan Castle, on the north shore of Loch Alsh in the Highlands. The recently-built white-washed house has three bedrooms and can sleep up to eight people. The open-plan living space has amazing views over the sea loch, while the sun lounge not only has doors opening onto a meadow garden, but can transform into a home cinema with 4.5 metre screen and surround-sound system. A week’s rental ranges from £405 to £855, with two dogs also welcome free of charge.

In contrast, in the heart of Argyll, a turreted Edwardian house on a hill now offers two luxurious apartments with views over Loch Awe, which is less than two hours from Glasgow. A week’s rental ranges from £280 to £425.
