Luxury self-catering holiday accommodation in the Highlands
Get ready to embark on a whimsical journey to the Scottish Highlands with Oliver's Travels, where fabulous, characterful homes await in this rugged and enchanting slice of northern Scotland. Mist-shrouded mountains, deep-blue lochs and ancient castles are the name of the game. It is like stepping into a fantasy novel, but with fewer dragons and more kilts!
First up on our Highland hit-list is Ben Nevis, standing at a whopping 1,345 metres. Climbers and hikers worldwide flock to its trails, ready to conquer the mountain and be rewarded with the most incredible views. If you are not up for an epic uphill battle, fear not! The Great Glen Way offers a more chilled stroll along the Caledonian Canal, connecting Fort William and Inverness. It is like a leisurely stroll through nature, with bonus canal vibes.
Now, who hasn't heard of Loch Ness? Home to historic castles such as Urquhart Castle, this legendary spot invites you to channel your inner detective and search for Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster. Nessie might be shy, but the views are anything but! You will enjoy ruins, mystery and just maybe, a friendly monster waving from the depths.
Inverness, the unofficial Highland capital, is where historic charm meets modern pizzazz. The River Ness weaves through the city, tickling the feet of Victorian buildings. It is a sophisticated dance of old and new. You can stroll along the riverbanks, explore Inverness Castle and soak up the local vibes at the Inverness Museum and Art Gallery. Heading west is the hidden treasure of Plockton which boasts landscapes so picturesque, you will think you are in a watercolour painting. Whitewashed cottages add a touch of charm and the sheltered bay is the perfect spot for daydreaming. You can take a boat trip to nearby islands or just bask in the coastal serenity. In Fort Augustus, where the Caledonian Canal plays meet and greet with Loch Ness, boating and water-based antics abound. The locks of Fort Augustus are like a watery staircase, a fascinating engineering marvel that turns boat journeys into a spectacle.
The Highland Folk Museum near Newtonmore invites you to step back in time. This living history museum spills the secrets with reconstructed buildings, costumed interpreters and demonstrations of age-old crafts. Another wonder, Eilean Donan Castle is a real-life fairytale fortress perched on a tiny island where three lochs have a meet-up. It is so postcard-perfect that even Hollywood could not resist its charm. History buffs and Instagram enthusiasts, this one is for you!
Of course, we cannot forget the whisky. The Highlands are the holy grail for whisky aficionados. Glenlivet and Glenfiddich distilleries open their doors for guided tours, where you will learn the magic behind crafting Scotch whisky. Sip, swirl and savour – it is a Highland happy hour!
Whether you are scaling castles, conquering peaks, fishing, boating or just lounging by a loch, the Scottish Highlands invites you to a land where nature and history come together in a brilliant way. It is a timeless tale that leaves you in awe. Step into the magic as adventure awaits!
Ah, bonnie Scotland! A wild and beautiful part of the world, where you can explore the rugged highlands or enjoy the colour and vibrancy of cultural capitals like Edinburgh and Glasgow.
But how do you know you’re getting the very best out of your trip? That’s where we come in. If you’ve had a browse through our range of luxury cottages and castles in Scotland, you’ll know there’s some great places to stay, but to find all the great things to do, see and eat you’ll need our handy Scotland travel guide – so read on and enjoy!

Incredible house
The house has everything we needed for a quiet week with friends - many comfortable spaces, stunning bedrooms, and other amenities such as pool and the hot tub. We have visited Loch Tay Manor two years in a row now and hope to continue to be able to visit.

I hope we can return one day
Stunning, amazing , perfect. Loch Tay Manor was everything I hoped for to celebrate my 60th birthday with family and friends. The lodge is perfect in every way with beautiful views to Loch Tay. I had been planning my stay for nearly two years and it didn't disappoint. We all had an absolutely amazing time. There is so much space for everyone and the hot tub was very popular. Even the weather was perfect with sunny blue skies! We hired Kevin and Ann from Velvet Cuisine who produced lovely meals and a superb celebratory dinner. I was sad to leave as it felt like home. Loch Tay Manor is a very special place that has given me some beautiful memories to cherish. I hope we can return one day.

Had the best time
I have just spent my 40th Birthday at Loch Tay Manor and had the best time. The house is beautiful and perfect for any celebration or just for a break away for a multigenerational family.
We rented the house for one week and had friends over for the weekend and family during the week. We arranged for a mid stay laundry change and house clean and the owners were super accommodating. We met the cleaning team a few times and they were so friendly and did an excellent job.
The pictures you see of the house don't do it justice until you are actually there. The views over the loch are stunning and the house is extremely well looked after. I liked the fact there was enough space so people didn't feel on top of each other.
I had multiple nights celebrating with dinners, fancy dress parties, and of course a bit of dancing and karaoke in the disco room.
Whilst you're staying in Loch Tay Manor make sure you pay a visit to the Hot Box Spa at Taymouth Marina, fantastic experience but make sure you book well in advance as it pre books months in advance. -
This house offered perfection
Celebrating a milestone birthday with friends and family, this house offered perfection for us all.

This place is just magnificent!
This place is just magnificent! The views are stunning, the home is well appointed and cozy. There wasn't a single thing we required that was not available. The kitchen has everything you could think of. The rooms are inviting with comfortable furniture and myriad throws and pillows scattered about for snuggling up by a fire or group movie night. The bedrooms have lush bedding and our whole group raved about the water pressure and the showers. The grounds are stunning, the trails and walk to the loch make for a perfect morning or after meal walk.

Will 100% be back!!
We recently booked this house for my hen do! It was out of this world fantastic, the house was set up perfectly for such a big group of us, we all got to sit around one table and have our meals, dance the night away in the disco room and enjoy amazing views of the loch the next morning having a catch up! Lorraine couldn’t have been more helpful and their recommendations for a private chef where sublime! Will 100% be back!!

All first class

A beautiful location and relaxing experience
This was our first time experiencing Loch Tay Manor, with a planned celebration with our friends and family. It was quite possibly the most luxurious retreat we have ever experienced and are more than willing to plan a return sooner than later.

Diamond wedding anniversary
For 20 years we have been celebrating special family occasions and Loch Tay Manor was absolutely perfect for our growing family numbers. The house was equipped with every conceivable item to ensure an enjoyable stay and the degree of comfort was luxurious. Definitely our best family house experience by a long way.

Fabulous Family get away
We had a wonderful stay, the accommodation was perfect for a special celebration with friends at the weekend and then a changeover with family during the week. The house and ground workers could not have been more helpful and attentive. everyone had a wonderful time together and the amenities are such that there is space to have to yourself if you need it. Thank you so much we would definitely recommend staying here- Magical !!
-
A stunning stay once again!
Our group of friends once again had the most amazing stay at Loch Tay Manor and we all cannot speak highly enough of this amazing house. It has everything you could dream of for a weekend stay and it is situated in the most picturesque place possible. We will definitely be back!
-
Sad to leave!
As a mixed age group on our 6th annual trip, Loch Tay Manor was by far the best property we have ever stayed in! Absolutely everything was perfect and we could not fault a single thing. The kitchen is so well stocked with every single gadget you could ever need and we made full use of the fire pit and disco room. The hot tub has the most amazing views and the snug is the perfect room to snuggle down in and watch the open fire. We were all sad to leave but will definitely be back.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
