Have you tried Airbnb?
Type in your area and price and see what’s around. |

You could do LEJOG straight into the NC500 and then on to loch Lomond, the route works out pretty well. You can do the Eastern leg of the NC500 to get to John O'Groats then continue the NC500 which leads you nicely towards Loch Lomond
As for accommodation I too would have a look at Airbnb 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

We went to a nice one at the bottom of the loch but it’s for up to 8 people https://www.lomondappletree.co.uk
Or if you fancy going higher up one of my customers let’s this out https://www.homeaway.co.uk/p6730373 On a personal note I would bypass Loch Lomond and go higher up the west coast Loch Lomond is a bit boring unless you have a boat. |

Hi Clayton,
Don't be a stranger now, when tackling the NC500, and make sure and ask if you fancy any 'local knowledge'. Cottages - only stayed in one that I can remember in that area - it was called the East Lodge, just outside Callander, on the south shore of Loch Venachar. It's a dead end, so no through traffic, and a raised deck/balcony oveflooking the loch. Not 100% sure it's still on the market, but I think we found it via 'love to escape' - though I am going back several years now.

RR classic - fitted with 200Tdi 1984 RR classic - V8 with ZF auto box 1993 Discovery 300Tdi not to mention the minis and the Type 2 VW camper... |

Thank you mick, they are both very nice places, but the top one is to big and the bottom one is really nice but a bit to much away from where we want to be , thank you again

Going to do the NC500 after the weeks holiday around Loch Lomond and then making our way home slowly so making it a 2 week holiday as we do not do holidays, the last holiday that we did was in 1989  that was for a month though
Thanks George 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up.

I can recommend www.caledoniancottages.co.uk
Alongside Loch Ness and close to the end of the NC500 Time is precious, waste it wisely... Defender 90 D200 |

We're going to do Scotland ( including the NC500 ) this year as we can't get one of our dogs inoculated for rabies, so our trip to Switzeland & Austria has to wait, however given my past experience of Scotland, this isn't too bad!
We leave here on the 17th ( Devon ) and and get into Edinburgh for New Years Eve after travelling up through Loch Lomond and the West coast ( including Skye ), along the top ( staying in Wick ) and down through Cairngorms national park. We're camping in the roof tent and have a small cottage booked through Airbnb in Wick for Christmas eve, day & boxing day. Price wise it was £45 a night for this place; https://www.thrumster.co.uk/the-lodge-house Totally away from where you want to be, but gives an idea of price etc. I'll share any information i find to you when we get back |
