We offer the lowest off season rates in the Glencoe, Appin, Argyll, Fort William area



THE RECESSION IS COMING SO WE DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Very simple, next year the Holiday trade is going to take a caning, although because it offers the best value for money by far, the Self Catering sector will do less badly than the rest.

I'm glad we do not own a hotel.

People will book their families into the UK, rather than overseas, and Scotland will be a prime target for holiday cottages. That does not mean we will do well, just less badly hopefully.

So we have enlarged our site with new pages to make it easily the biggest site for information in the area. More than 60% of our site visitors come in through the inside pages when they are looking for general information.

But, and most important, we have revamped our tariff list. We want to get-off season bookings, so we made a survey of all our competitors offers, and pitched ours under them. So on several of the key pages of our site you can see the following message.

"We specialise in short breaks low season. That’s why we keep these rates the lowest in the area"

We are beginning to get enquiries for the Summer and the School holidays, most of these dates are sold before the end of January. But if you want an off season break then visit our website and see if we suit you. Early December is available - not Christmas nor New Year, sorry.

Most of January and all of February, March and April is available, apart from Easter and the odd week here and there.

This is our availability page

People are booking very late indeed, but if you are thinking of an off season break then why not bookmark our site for future reference.

Edinburgh Holiday Home Swap Option

Edinburgh Villa is available for weekend swapping with fellow holiday rental owners. If you have a 2nd home in Scotland and would like to visit Edinburgh, even on a regular basis, we would consider swapping use of the Villa for use of your rental. We would prefer something in the Scottish countryside and obviously when weeks/weekends arent booked! Sleeping 4 minimum please. Could be a great way of getting away for weekends?

Edinburgh Vacation Rentals Last Minute Availability


Edinburgh Self Catering House and New Town Holiday Apartment currently have November availability at special rates. Consider a visit to Edinburgh for Christmas shopping at Jenners, "Harrods of the north", and then theatre at night!

Currently showing at the Edinburgh Playhouse is Mary Poppins. A fantastic show, quite long though, so if you're travelling with children be advised that the 7:30 show will not be finished until 10:30. Tickets are still available.

More family fun coming up at the theatres is The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, which will be playing at the Royal Lyceum Theatre from the 28th November. The Holiday season is nearly here, visit Edinburgh off peak and enjoy special rates in Edinburgh. In December Edinburgh will be transformed to a winter wonderland with ferris wheel, ice skating by the castle, German markets. Book a long weekend now!

November short breaks available cottages in Scotland

Many self catering properties have availability at low prices for November - some have vacancies in October for October. Follow the link below for 12 of the best ones and click on the cottage you fancy to obtain their low price deals.

In our property, the lochside cottage near Glencoe shown in the photo we have three short breaks available in November. The weekend of Friday until Monday on November 7th is free, and again on November 14th, also we offer a four day break from Monday 10th to Friday. These breaks are at £195 each, four people can sleep in the 2 bedrooms for a cost of around £10 per person per week. That is an incredible low price.

The warm and cosy cottage is in a stunning location, mountains and lochs all around. The roads are quiet at this time of year, the restaurants and facilites are open, it is a glorious time of year for touring around or light walking.
