The brilliance of these themed journeys lies in their simplicity – with just a few clicks, travellers can secure their accommodations and immerse themselves in a world of exploration.
What sets these itineraries apart is their unique connection to authentic, privately-owned accommodations. Visitors can rest assured that their stay will seamlessly extend their areas of interest. Cassie Bouverie, who co-pilots the North Berwick-based venture with her husband Archie, shares, "We began with whisky and golf as these are synonymous with Scotland... However, we plan to increase the themed itineraries to include things like, for example, bird-watching, cycling, wildflowers, and Scottish history."
The carefully curated itineraries offer more than a place to lay one's head. Each journey is adorned with insightful background commentary and local recommendations, ensuring that travellers can explore nearby eateries and other hidden landmarks.
The roots of Private House Stays trace back to 2007 when the Bouveries, having run a B&B on Edinburgh's Scotland Street for over a decade, founded the platform. With a dedication to offering discerning visitors an authentic local experience, Private House Stays focuses on privately-owned accommodations, each brimming with character and charm. This approach extends beyond a mere booking process; it's an invitation to immerse oneself in the warmth of local hospitality and gain insights from those who understand the area best.
As Cassie Bouverie aptly summarizes, "We focus on privately-owned accommodation which has character and charm, where you can stay with friendly local people who have local knowledge." This commitment to authenticity resonates through each property, ensuring that visitors truly feel like they're at home, even when away from home.
With a vision that aligns seamlessly with the spirit of exploration and connection, Private House Stays transforms the way travellers discover Scotland.
