Real Freedom, Real Luxury, Real Scotland!

In a sentence – luxury, award winning, ‘classic contemporary’ self catering cottages amidst some of the finest scenery in Scotland.

The independence of a cottage, the facilities of a country-house hotel: a new kind of luxury, ‘small is beautiful’ holiday complex which makes an ideal family break, leisure or romantic retreat - Mains of Taymouth is a family run 120 acre estate set in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the heart of Scotland less than 2 hours drive from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness. We have built up an amazing portfolio of 24 self catering properties over the years, all at an exceptional standard furnished with a great eye for detail, style and individuality. Our seven cottages designed around the traditional farm courtyard, originally built in the 19th century as the home farm for neighbouring Taymouth Castle, have been carefully and sympathetically restored to create charming and luxurious properties with a mouthwatering range of modern amenities including private hot tubs, saunas and games rooms.

Our luxury four and five bedroom houses, The Bruadairs, are a hit with everyone! All three of these super houses are of 5* standard and have their own private gardens with hot tubs and stunning views over to Kenmore Hill. Easter Bruadair even has its own games room with pool table and Playstation area.

Built in 2009, The Gallops apartments sleep four, with big open plan living areas, under floor heating throughout, granite work tops in fully fitted kitchens, quality fixtures and fittings and amazing views. The apartments have a master with en suite shower and the second bedroom can be either a twin or king room (for maximum flexibility) with its own bath/shower making it perfect for two couples or a small family.

Our Castle Gardens development has a selection of three bedroom houses and one four bedroom house, many offering hot tubs and games rooms. There is something for everyone here!

All our houses will be presented in pristine condition with fresh linen and towels in every room. We have an exceptionally high standard of housekeeping here at Mains of Taymouth and never compromise on our level of cleanliness. Hot tubs are fully drained and cleaned after every departure and re-filled for all new arrivals.

The British preference for private holiday space has spawned a huge self-catering industry, but one that doesn’t always deliver. Too often, your average cottage rental can prove a protracted exercise in figuring out the eccentricities of how somebody else’s house works, not least getting into it in the first place: the key under the mat (eventually located under a flower pot); the unfathomable instructions on how to work the hot water; the aged plastic folder containing fliers for dubious local attractions.

Not here! Everything down to the last utensil and homely modern comfort is at your fingertips, with that all important and essential extra – the personal touch.

‘It’ll be brownie points for anyone claiming discovery of Mains Park Court for the next trip, a property with country character (yes, there’s a log burning stove) simultaneously offering the experience of a stylish boutique hotel. How many times have you rolled up to a castle or country mansion to have socks toasted by under floor heating?
Mains Park Court flies the flag for all that’s discerning about Mains of Taymouth Cottages, a redevelopment of courtyard steadings beside the pretty village of Kenmore.’
