Great accomodation, for 3 generations plus 2 dogs. Absolutely spotless, with clean and comfy beds for all 8 of us. Great kitchen with everything you need to cook all meals. Great, enormous garden for the dogs to run around. The hot tub was a much loved addition, and helped make our 70th birthday celebration a great success. Also nice to know that the owner was near at hand if we had any problems, although we had none. ##### Maureen Thomson ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Waterfront Cottage with own Beach and Stunning Views Across The Clyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunoon-Hotels-Waterfront-Cottage-With-Stunning-Views.h39682263.Hotel-Information) > > [Ardoe House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-Ardoe-House-Hotel-Spa.h23180.Hotel-Information) > > [Glasgow Westerwood Spa & Golf Resort ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Glasgow-Westerwood-Spa-Golf-Resort.h893990.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Ness Drumnadrochit Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Loch-Ness-Drumnadrochit-Hotel.h2041754.Hotel-Information) > > [Enterkine House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ayr-Hotels-Enterkine-House-Hotel.h10176973.Hotel-Information) > > [Achness Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lairg-Hotels-Achness-Hotel.h24057466.Hotel-Information) > > [Friars Carse Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dumfries-Hotels-Friars-Carse-Country-House-Hotel.h3843095.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Lomond Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Loch-Lomond-Hotel.h83284830.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO The Ivory Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-OYO-The-Ivory-Hotel.h2760113.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Shepherd's Hut (The Hawthorn) at Templehall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eyemouth-Hotels-Luxury-Shepherds-Hut-At-Templehall.h35697684.Hotel-Information) > > [Hetland Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dumfries-Hotels-Hetland-Hall-Hotel.h21393731.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kenmore Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-The-Kenmore-Club.h9234110.Hotel-Information) > > [Finavon Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Forfar-Hotels-Finavon-Hotel.h39618185.Hotel-Information) > > [go2 Glasgow Cumbernauld Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Go2-Glasgow-Cumbernauld-Hotel.h5963230.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Auldgirth Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dumfries-Hotels-The-Auldgirth-Inn.h36765167.Hotel-Information) > > [Peel Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirriemuir-Hotels-Peel-Farm.h29473884.Hotel-Information) > > [Coylumbridge Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Coylumbridge-Resort-Hotel.h520458.Hotel-Information) > > [Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Dalmahoy-Hotel-Country-Club.h21999.Hotel-Information) > > [Parklands Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Parklands-Hotel-Country-Club.h14766742.Hotel-Information) > > [Lochinvar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-Lochinvar-Hotel.h43651710.Hotel-Information) > > [Ben Cruachan inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dalmally-Hotels-Ben-Cruachan-Inn.h27041653.Hotel-Information) > > [The Murray Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-The-Murray-Arms-Hotel.h22682976.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Crutherland House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Macdonald-Crutherland-House-And-Spa.h569463.Hotel-Information) > > [Balcomie Links Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anstruther-Hotels-Balcomie-Links-Hotel.h29273506.Hotel-Information) > > [Greshornish House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portree-Hotels-Greshornish-House-Hotel.h23086689.Hotel-Information) > > [ARDENNAN HOUSE HOTEL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverurie-Hotels-ARDENNAN-HOUSE-HOTEL.h34546411.Hotel-Information) > > [Duck Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Duck-Bay-Hotel.h30097341.Hotel-Information) > > [Ardeonaig Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killin-Hotels-Ardeonaig-Hotel.h15830740.Hotel-Information) > > [Torrs Warren Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranraer-Hotels-Torrs-Warren-Country-House-Hotel.h1780862.Hotel-Information) ---
