Why Book a Last Minute Holiday Cottage in Scotland?

Scotland with its stunning natural beauty, impressive landscapes of lochs, glens and mountains, islands and historic towns is a beautiful place to discover on a late break. The national parks of the Cairngorms and the Loch Lomond and Trossachs remain ever popular, as do areas like the Highlands and Borders. The Scottish coast has plenty to offer for unplanned escapes too including pretty fishing villages and coastal retreats. Or maybe you have in mind a quick getaway to a Scottish city like Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling or Aberdeen? For those who don’t mind catching a flight, escaping to one of the Scottish islands like Skye, Mull, Orkney or Shetland can be a great choice for an impulse trip too.

Whether you want to enjoy hiking, walking, whisky tours, boat trips, wildlife watching or scenic drives, Scotland has lots to offer quick escapes. Options include spontaneous weekend getaways, mid-week breaks of 2 or 3 nights or longer stays. Scotland is a fabulous destination for a sudden short notice escape.

Popular Types of Last Minute Self-Catering Holidays in Scotland

Popular choices when it comes to late availability holidays in Scotland include coastal retreats, dog-friendly properties, cheap rentals, lodge breaks, secluded escapes and romantic retreats. Or, for something more adventurous opt for a glamping pod or an apartment. Look out for properties with well equipped kitchens, enclosed gardens, warming woodburners and maybe an outdoor dining area with BBQ or firepit. Features like hot tubs and luxurious interiors can go a long way to helping you relax and unwind too. Choose the type of Scottish holiday home that best suits you for your impromptu getaway.

Booking at the eleventh hour can sometimes mean that you are able to get a good discount on a typical holiday price and book a cheap last minute escape to Scotland.
