If you fancy spending your holidays in Scotland this year then it’s worth checking out something a little different than the usual hotel or bed and breakfast.
There are plenty of more quirky places to stay to suit all budgets – from chalets overlooking lochs, to treehouses on the edge of a national park.
Here are 10 of the best according to reviewers on www.booking.com and Tripadvisor.

. Iona Pods
With mountain views and sandy beaches a short walk away, the Iona Pods offer a great chance to get away from it all. Each of the pods come with either a double or two single beds, power sockets, a microwave, fridge, electric hob, kettle, kitchenware and cutlery. Outside there's a picnic bench and a fire pit for alfresco snacks. All this is just 12-minute walk from Iona Abbey on a working croft on the tiny Scottish island. Photo: www.booking.com
. Lochend Chalets
Set on a 38 acre estate on the banks of the Lake of Menteith, the Lochend Chalets are in the heart of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Each property has a seating area with television, a private bathroom, a kitchen with an oven and a fridge, along with a dining table, kitchenware and a welcome pack containing fresh milk and tea, coffee and biscuits. There's even an on-site cooking school if you need inspiration to cook up a storm. Photo: www.booking.com
