The one element about self catering that appeals to most people is the freedom to come and go as you please you are not restricted by meal times and in some cases access to your accommodation. It also can be cheaper depending on how many are in your party (as self catering is generally charged per unit) and, of course, how often and where you eat out!
Most self catering units are priced by the week but more and more operators are offering long weekend breaks in addition to 2,3,4 day (and longer) short break rates.
Scotland does have a large number of self catering properties. Most are "one unit" operators who generally have a second home that they let out for most of the year. Many are also seasonal although the number opening over the winter months is increasing.
The general principle with offering self catering accommodation is that the quality offered should surpass that which the purchaser/guest has in their own home. To be sure of the standard of a property check the accolades. You can also be sure of operators who are members of certain consortia who have their own strict standards - The Association of Scotland's Self Caterers is one such group which is highly recommended by YesScotland.com
There was a time when self catering just meant accommodation and nothing else not now, however. There are a large number of operators who offer a plethora of facilities and activities and will always be able to offer advice and help on what to see and do in the area with probably some home secrets about the area as well.
If you do not already know the establishment, check the website (the "guest book" especially if there is one) and the accolades. And, it may appear strange to you, but, try and support the area in which you are going to stay. Don't bring all of your groceries from home, support the local shop and other local services - if you do you will enhance the value of your stay, believe me!
Be prepared for rain, by bringing games, videos (if a video is supplied) and books and also be prepared for the dreaded midge (a tiny but annoying fly), mostly to be found on the western Highlands but not entirely! Best time to come? Late May and June late September and October. July and August are both very busy with families tied to school holidays and this is peak season. Late May and June offer long hours of light, few midges and colour - the rhododendrons and azaleas in particular - Late September and October, also off-peak, offer fantastic autumnal colours and relatively quiet roads.
Happy self catering!
