Cities, towns, villages and even remote islands – Scotland’s landscape is vast. But if you want the best lodges with hot tubs, take a look at these popular areas.
Loch Lomond
Best for? Incredible views
Our top property pick: Duneira
As the largest inland stretch of water in the UK, Loch Lomond is truly unique. As soon as you see it, you’ll understand why it’s been the inspiration for many books and love songs over the years too. It lies in The Trossachs National Park meaning there’s lots of walking trails, hiking routes and watersport opportunities and, of course, a few cosy inns and pubs dotted around. It’s also home to some luxurious hot tub lodges with amazing views and even swimming pools.
Inverness
Best for? Its culture
Our top property pick: Moorhen Lodge
Often referred to as the cultural capital of the Scottish Highlands, Inverness sits on the northeast coast and is a city unlike any other. While you can expect the attractions and charm that any other UK city has, here you also have access to incredible countryside and coastline. With so much to see and do, it’s a great choice for families and large groups – and a day trip to Loch Ness is a must.
Argyll & The Isles
Best for? Getting out in the great outdoors
Our top property pick: Sobrachan
On the west coast of Scotland lies Argyll & The Isles – 23 inhabited islands which each boast secluded beaches, incredible island cultures, amazing scenery and lots of natural beauty. With seven National Nature Reserves plus lots of other gardens, rugged landscapes and parks to explore, Argyll & The Isles is one of the best places to see some of Scotland’s rarest and best-loved animals. Look out for red deer, seals, otters, puffins and golden eagles to name a few..
Oban
Best for? Foodies
Our top property pick: Glen Euchar House
It might be unofficially named as the West Highlands’ capital but in recent years it’s also been referred to as the Seafood Capital of Scotland. Being so close to the sea and the Gateway to the Hebridean Isles means fish here are rife and local restaurants are firmly putting their stamp on the global culinary map. Of course, if fish isn’t for you, there’s plenty of other reasons to visit Oban and lots of other dishes on the menu. Watersports, museums, walking trails and the incredible views keep holidaymakers of all ages very busy.
Perth
Best for? A lively atmosphere
Our top property pick: Ralston Bothy
Perth is lively, bustling and brimming with independent shops, cafes and bars. It’s situated on the River Tay and boasts a number of historical buildings, art galleries and museums which are a great way to uncover the story of this Scottish city. If you do want to venture further afield though, you’ll be pleased to know that you’re surrounded by vast countryside and even Perth Racecourse which makes for a great day out.
