Small remote cottage in Scotland

[Adenauer]

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?

I've been here before and it was excellent http://www.eaglebaycottages.co.uk/ Brilliant drive up...

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

Hmm, the week I would want to go has bleedin' Valentines day right in the middle of it, everything's booked up with couples doing a sexy time

Stupid question, but does it have to be Scotland?

I ask as these cottages are pretty good and also available:

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

Good point, BK, not really I suppose, no.

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.

Also had a really good time here last year, on the Applecross coast road.

Fearnmore Church

Those are also gorgeous!
