St Andrews' Old Station BnB

A  train carriage converted into a pair of luxury suites near St Andrews is among the Scottish BnBs picked in this post, sponsored and written by Holiday Extras…

A short flight from any English airport, Scotland’s many B&B’s provide a traveller with a unique, quiet and personalised vacation experience.  If you are looking to avoid the crowds at Heathrow, head to one of the nearby smaller airports, you can park at either Bristol Airport Parking or Luton Airport Parking and catch a flight to Edinburgh. You might want to stop for the night at a nearby Edinburgh Airport hotel before heading out to explore all that Scotland has to offer.

Number one on your list should definitely be The Old Station in St Andrews.  It’s comfortably one of the most unique places to stay in Fife.  It is set in a refurbished Victorian railway with two luxury guest suites set in an old railcar.  The editor of this blog has stayed there and can recommend it for a romantic break.

The second on your list, the Duntrune House, near Dundee, is renowned for the most amazing grounds that you’ll spend hours walking around. And you’ll definitely want to be sure to enjoy dining with the owners who offer a wealth of local history.

Eaglescairnie Mains is definitely a must visit too, a Georgian farmhouse that is set on a working farm.  The Eaglescairnie Mains has the best of all worlds, close to the coast and the city of Edinburgh; you can enjoy all that Scotland has to offer from one place.

Further north on the Isle of Skye, Ardtreck Cottage is certainly worth checking out. The rooms are exquisite, as is the food served in the dining room. A path to the bay and an amazing number of walking paths in the area are just a few reasons why this is a prime vacation spot.

Glengarry just twelve miles from Aviemore, it is set within the Cairngorms National Park and provides both a peaceful and beautiful oasis from the chaos of the city.  The Victorian style villa is beautifully decorated with style and comfort in mind.

Braemore Square country house is perfect for a romantic honeymoon getaway. The house, located just a mile from the dramatic Corrieshalloch Gorge, is a charming fomer stage post set on forty six acres of land that also has over a mile of river fishing available.  It’s a beautiful spot to stay while exploring the Scottish Highlands.

Last but certainly not least,  Dunultach on the Kintyre peninsula is a definite favorite with amazing views. Here you can enjoy your meals set in the conservatory that overlooks the Paps of Jura.
