The self-catering properties on our site all share the same mission as us. The mission to help guests to discover the gift of Scotland from a quality holiday home-from-home.
Holidays in Scotland are better when you’re in a comfy place of your own. Come and go as you please, watch your dog explore, let your kids play to their hearts’ content. Choose to wake up to a sea view, a cityscape, or a field of grazing sheep. EmbraceScotland is the website that pulls the very best of Scotland’s holiday cottages and self-catering accommodation, where you book directly with the owners. All of our properties are members of Scotland’s official self-catering trade body, the ASSC, and are 100% quality assured, so you can trust us. A cosy romantic break? A group reunion? The first family trip to Scotland? It’s all here!
