Feel free to browse our selection and find the beautiful spot which you are going to call home during your trip. Besides amazing accommodation in picturesque locations, our hosts offer much more in terms of their knowledge of the region. If you happen to need any particular advice on how to make the best out of your weekend here, you can count on them!

Natural spots to visit

You can kick off your weekend in Scotland by paying a visit to the so-called Shetland Geopark. It is home to diverse nature and as such it will not cease to amaze you every second. The incredible rock formations will make you pause, stare and gasp in awe – Scottish nature is this majestic! Once you have had your pristine moment of connection with nature, you can continue exploring. Walking while hearing the distant noises of water hitting the rocks is a therapy to the soul!

If you happen to be a fan of mysteries and legends, then what you can do is visit the infamous Loch Ness. The destination has gained worldwide fame due to allegedly being home to an underwater monster. While we cannot guarantee you that you are going to see it while visiting, you are sure to be able to explore the breath-taking panoramas of the region. Water brings us astonishing tranquillity, and Loch Ness is no exception! However, if you feel intimidated by the slight possibility of meeting the mystical creature, do not worry – Scotland abounds with alternative lakes which you can go to instead.

Adrenaline activities

If you are an addict for adrenaline sports, then Scotland might just be the perfect place for you. While on your trip, you might want to try rafting. Although this hobby is not for everyone, the people willing (and daring!) to conquer the waters are going to be rewarded and deeply satisfied by the experience. Believe us, you are going to be very proud of yourself for taking part in this adventurous sport. However, no matter how much pride you feel, it cannot under any circumstances beat the adrenaline rush you get while in the boat.

You want to be active, but rafting is too much for you? Why don’t you try cycling as a great alternative? It will keep you fit, while simultaneously revealing a great deal of the nature around – and most probably such places which you would have never explored otherwise.
