Small remote cottage in Scotland
Discussion
Well, we have Karnival coming up here in Germany and it's a time that I absolutely loathe. Stupid drunken idiots all being 'happy'
So I'm thinking about buggering off to a little remote cottage in Scotland (preferably on the coast), for 5 - 7 days, to sit and drink a wee dram whilst I contemplate the meaning of life.
Anyone know of anything or have any good tips on websites or where else to look please?

However, that looks bloody fantastic And it's booked up for when I'd want to go
I'll definitely bookmark it for the future though

A little more basic/rustic than the above one, but its an Island. Not technically a private island, as anyone can go there, but that's the only house on it. Me and SWMBO will be honeymooning there in the spring

You want remote? Have a look at this baby. I stayed here for a week. Not far to Skye and coast etc
Driveway approx 10 miles long, takes 45 mins (must have 4x4) and you pass no other houses or people.
Utterly peaceful and beautiful. Take food in a cool box, you wont want to be popping to the shop for milk every morning.

I've stayed here too... it's a bit different but if you like biking, canoeing etc then this is really nice and very very quiet.

Stupid question, but does it have to be Scotland?
I ask as these cottages are pretty good and also available:
http://www.holidaycottageinnorthumberland.co.uk/
Right on the edge of Northumberland National Park and about an hour away from quite a few interesting sights (Alnwick Castle, Holy Island, Hadrian's Wall).
The cottages are really nice and it is really peaceful

We stay here for a week each year, about a mile outside Torridon on a private estate. One of the cottages is lochside. We normally stay in Gardener's Cottage.
Torridon
Also had a really good time here last year, on the Applecross coast road.

We stayed here a few years ago & it was perfect. Remote, by the coast, lovely cottage with woodburning stove, Aga etc. Empty roads & stunning scenery. Ticks many of my boxes. Would go back tomorrow if I could.
