Hi all, Need some advice. I'm looking to take a break either in Scotland or the South of Ireland. My first choice is to rent a cottage/lodge from the actual owner like this site Home Away.

I have used this site twice before for Austria and Spain and was well pleased. But I cant find anything suitable this time so I need to look on other websites. Any recommendations.

    I've used this site successfully before now
    http://www.holidaylettings.co.uk/

    I've only used it for English properties myself, but there are over 1500 showing for Scotland and over 1300 for Ireland.

    I find the search criteria really helpful - you can drill down to individual towns if you want.
