Unique Cottages works closely with country estates, landowners and land managers to make the very most of their properties and can advise on every aspect of transforming them into warm and inviting holiday homes. We can cover everything from interior layout and décor to dressing them for letting and anticipating and meeting guests’ needs. We value the personal touch that means that our owners stay with us year after year. Some of them have even been with us from the very beginning which is impressive given that we have been in business for nearly 30 years! Preserving the character and charm of local communities is important to us so we carefully select our properties and spread them out across the country. We support sustainable tourism and encourage all of our guests to enjoy the Scottish countryside responsibly. Please get in touch to discuss the preferential commission rates we can offer.
