There are holiday homes… and then there are Scottish estates that feel like stepping into another world.

Set in the heart of the Highlands, Loch Na Bo is the kind of place made for slow mornings by the water, black tie dinners in the grand dining room, woodland walks straight from the doorstep, and evenings spent in the hidden lochside sauna beneath vast dark skies.

Rich in history and surrounded by breathtaking scenery, this remarkable estate has even welcomed members of the British Royal Family over the years - and it’s not hard to see why. From boating and trout fishing on the loch to fireside board games and restorative wellness experiences, every stay here feels deeply special.

A place for celebrations, reconnection, and unforgettable escapes in Scotland ✨

✨ New to our books - your own private corner of the Scottish wilderness ✨

Set on the edge of The Cairngorms National Park, Larch House is the kind of place that makes you want to disappear into nature for a while. Clad in warm Scottish larch and surrounded by woodland, mountains and river views, this architect-designed eco home blends contemporary luxury with the raw beauty of the Highlands.

Spend your days skiing at Glenshee, wild swimming in the Shee Water, hiking through ancient woodland or whisky tasting nearby, before returning to evenings in the wood-fired hot tub, slow sessions in the sauna, and cosy film nights in the cinema room.
With soaring picture windows framing the landscape at every turn, Larch House feels beautifully connected to the outdoors - a place made for adventure, deep rest, and unforgettable gatherings with family and friends.

Scotland never looked so good. 🌿

Some places make you want to lace up your walking boots and disappear into the hills for a while… ⛰️

Tucked away near Alston in Cumbria, The Old Buttress is a cosy countryside retreat made for slow mornings, muddy adventures and evenings spent beside the fire. After days exploring rolling green landscapes, cycling winding country lanes or wandering local trails, return to the warmth of the wood-burning stove and panoramic views stretching across the hills.

With a king-size bedroom, balcony made for stargazing, and the peaceful sound of the stream drifting through the garden below, this is countryside escapism at its most calming.
Just the two of you, the hills, and nowhere else to be. ✨

✨ Property of the week ✨

Make The Link yours this summer 🌞

Stay inside a lighthouse keeper’s cottage overlooking the Norfolk coast.
Perched on the spectacular Cromer Lighthouse site, The Link is a truly unique coastal escape where the sea is quite literally part of the view from almost every window. The domed bedroom, formed from the circular base of the original lighthouse tower, makes this one-bedroom cottage feel wonderfully unlike anywhere else.

Spend your days walking the coastal path into Cromer for fresh crab sandwiches, colourful beach huts, seaside cafés and salty sea air, before returning to your peaceful hideaway above the cliffs.
There’s something magical about staying somewhere that still feels connected to the rhythm of the sea. ⚓️

Hidden away on the edge of Galloway Forest, Courtyard Cottage offers the kind of peace that’s becoming harder to find. ✨

Perfectly designed for two, this beautifully restored cottage combines cosy interiors with the wild beauty of South West Scotland right on the doorstep. Spend your days wandering through forests, discovering the unspoilt landscapes of the Glenkens, and breathing in that fresh Scottish air before returning to evenings beside the wood burning stove.

Outside, the magic continues with far-reaching countryside views, a spacious patio for slow outdoor dinners, a wood-fired barbecue, and a communal firepit ideal for stargazing beneath Galloway’s famously dark skies.

A slower pace. A quieter corner of the world. And a cottage that feels instantly like home. 🤍

Available this May half term! ✨

Hidden away on the Herefordshire and Shropshire border, Broomers Barn is the kind of place that makes you instantly exhale. Think uninterrupted countryside views, slow mornings with coffee on the deck, evenings beside the firepit under dark skies, and long walks followed by exceptional pub lunches in nearby Ludlow.

Inside, warm light pours through floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors into beautifully calm interiors designed for switching off completely. Outside, rolling countryside stretches endlessly beyond the garden, creating the perfect backdrop for a last-minute countryside escape.

Whether you spend your days exploring castle ruins and market towns, or simply doing very little at all, Broomers Barn is available over May half term for those craving a slower pace of life. 🤍
