Holiday Cottages in Scotland
|
|
|
Many fishermen will
appreciate the luxury of the traditional Scottish fishing hotel, whose
experienced staff will go to great lengths to ensure a successful
fishing trip, taking care of every detail of the holiday, from the
arrangement of the fishing to the provision of full board and lodgings.
Others will prefer the freedom and relaxed informality of the self
catering option, a holiday cottage from which to explore the fishing
opportunities in the lochs and rivers of the vicinity. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or
perhaps the chosen fishing beat is tied to a conveniently located self
catering cottage. There are numerous self catering houses and cottages
available for rent in Scotland, with easy access to trout and salmon
fishing. Many are listed in the brochures produced by VisitScotland and
available from tourist information offices throughout Scotland.
On this page, you will find details of Scottish
self catering accommodation with a bit of information about
the fishing opportunities they offer. Those who own or let self catering
accommodation with access to game fishing in Scotland are invited to send details to me by
e-mail for inclusion in the
list below - see panel below for required information. |

Orkney
is a fisherman’s paradise with a variety of lochs for
wild brown trout fishing and a long coastline offering
lots of opportunities for sea angling from boat or the
shore. We can arrange boat hire, ghillie services
and ‘visitor membership’ for the Orkney Trout Fishing
Association prior to your visit. We can even arrange to
have your ‘big ones ‘vacuum packed and /or smoked for
you to take home. The larger Lochs of Harray, Stenness
and Broadhouse are approximately 20 mins drive away and
the smaller Kirbister Loch is just a five minute drive
down the road! – Ideal for that evening ‘dabble’! |

trout from estate boats on Dunalastair Reservoir (Loch) and on the River
Tummel between Kinloch Rannoch and Tummel Bridge. The
cottages vary in size, sleeping from 2 to 8 people, and each is
separately sited in locations around the estate with three close to the
water. There are plenty of activities in the area for non-fishing
family members and there are other lochs in the area which can be fished
with permits obtained from local shops. These include Lochs
Eigheach, Kinardochy and Bhac.
Dunalastair is approximately 2 hours from Edinburgh and Glasgow and 35

Doonbank Cottage is a beautiful thatched property
set within four and a half acres of its own secluded
private woodland on the banks of the River Doon,
perfect for a family, fishing or golfing holiday.
 Situated
in the picturesque village of historic Alloway, a
short walk to the world famous Brig-a-Doon, and
close to the main town of Ayr on the west coast of
Scotland, the cottage has glorious views of the
idyllic River Doon, which runs for 3/4 mile as the
property's eastern boundary. The woodland contains
deer, rabbits, squirrels, pheasants, partridges,
quails, owls, herons, ducks, blue-tits and many more
species, offering excellent opportunities for bird
watching and riverside walks.
Doonbank Cottage is just 1 mile easy
walk from the stunning Ayrshire coastline with its
sandy beaches and a short stroll from the Burns
Monument, Burns Cottage, Alloway Kirk, and the
world-famous Brig O'Doon, inspiration for Robert
Burn's poem 'Tam
O'Shanter'.
Doonbank Cottage is easily accessible
by road, by air (Prestwick Airport 15 minutes) or by
train (Ayr station 10 minutes). The cottage is
available for holiday lets and short breaks
throughout the year and has a pet friendly policy.
Sea fishing is available
locally and trout and salmon fishing is available on
various angling club beats and private beats, such
as the Doonfoot fishings, on the River Doon.

The Gate House is located in woodland not 40 yds.
from the river Snizort, the Isle of Skye’s most
acclaimed salmon and sea trout river, and only a two
minute walk from the ghillie’s office. The cottage
is rented by the week and costs £320 for two people
at any time of the year. There are 8 miles with 12
beats of classic spate river for you to chose from.
The river falls from the hills
through basalt gorges down to the meadows and the
estuary, giving the full variety of river
conditions. The cottage accommodates two anglers in
a single bedroom which can be arranged with one
king-size bed or two singles. It is beautifully
furnished and fully equipped with everything you’d
expect in your own home. Permits can be booked at
the ghillie’s office or you can take your chances
that there will be beats available on the dates you
chose to stay. Permit charges vary according to the
time of the season but range from £20 for a half-day
ticket in early season to £60 for a day ticket in
September and October. To see more details of the
river and the Gate House see the website link above.
If you want to fish on the lochs or other rivers on
Skye there is a big variety to chose from and
