Lettings at Bayview 60% up on a year ago

We have been very lucky at Bayview. Our bookings off season are well up on a year ago, and we only have about 12 weeks left free until the end of September. Yes, a stroke of fortune - one couple has booked four weeks in April, coming back to their old home from the USA for a visit. Even so.

We have one short break in March available. You can see latest availability here.

I also want to put in a link here to our new page about the Vikings on Scotland's West coast. This helps Google to find the page.

The Vikings in Glencoe, the Terror, the Glencoe Battle

This might be one of the reasons our bookings are up. Over half of the entries to our website come in to the inside pages. These relate to Walks in Glencoe, the Weather, the Massacre of glencoe and so on. These folks are looking for information and I think that they also examine the cottage while they are at it.

Scotland how to find your ideal holiday property

Seven Scottish properties are still available for Christmas or New Year

These are very good properties indeed, all in different parts of Scotland. As of to-day's date I know they still have not completely sold out either for Christmas or the New Year.

But you should think about it quickly. Still available for Xmas and the New Year, self catering in Scotland There is usually a flurry of late bookings between now and the middle of December.

If you have a large family and need several cottages or a large property don't give up yet, try them on this site.

John
ps Notice that in the following blog one of them is in Edinburgh - and Astra is offering a special rate for anyone who mentions this blog when booking. To do it just quote the url at the top of your browser page, or the name of this blog site and she will look after you.

Scottish Christmas Late Availability

This is my first blog here, so it may take me a wee while to feel at home. Once I'm comfortable, know my way around, and able to put my feet up I'll be happy to blether on. A bit like one should expect from Scottish holiday cottages actually - A welcoming, comfortable, home from home.

With Christmas just around the corner I thought I'd mention the availability of my Edinburgh Holiday Villa and Georgian Flat in the Edinburgh New Town . New Year is already booked I'm afraid, at both rentals, however we still have the Christmas weeks available. Edinburgh is a fine destination in December, especially for theatre lovers, shoppers, and those who know how to ice skate without gripping onto side walls (or complete strangers) for dear life. Edinburghs winter wonderland includes an Ice Skating Rink at the foot of Edinburgh Castle, there's German markets too!

Scotland in December is a fun place to be. Actually it's always fun, whether for Peaceful Lochside Breaks, Romantic Weekends in Breathtaking Scenery or City Centre historical experiences...

If anyone needs to know where to find Scottish Christmas Souvenirs, or wishes to book an Edinburgh Holiday Rental, just visit our website and send me an e:mail! There's some great deals going on for Scottish Cashmere right now. Bagpiping Santa's too...

Mention this Scottish blog and we'll give you a special Christmas rental price.

Tis The Season!
