For those golfers who feel inspired by watching the spectacular links golf played at the Open at Birkdale and are in search of a golfing holiday with a difference, One Off Places offers individual holiday accommodation located just down the road from some of the oldest and greatest golf courses in Scotland .
With more and more people wanting to explore when they travel, and as demand for self-catering trips continues to grow, we have found that the more characterful properties are often swamped by bland resort style holiday accommodation. One Off Places offers visitors the chance to book unique and memorable accommodation.
One Off Places has a large selection of properties, many of which are in Scotland and the Isles.
Regularly named as one of the top 20 best courses in the world, the Royal Dornach is just a few minutes from Milton Lodge, a 19th century shooting lodge which accommodates up to seven guests. With far reaching views to the south and west of the highlands, this is the perfect retreat. For more information, see http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/viewPropertyDetails.aspx?ID=374
If you want to experience Scotland in its true colours and experience one of the world’s finest settings for a game of golf, then head for the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides. Scarista is a nine hole course, but created in the way the golfing gods intended, with its layout formed only by the actions of the sea, sand and wind. For accommodation, Kyle’s house is set on a hillside, surrounded by wild flower meadows and heathland, and overlooks the Sound of Harris with spectacular views across the sea to the islands of North Uist and Skye. The house sleeps six, and provides an ideal base for exploring this stunning isle. For more information, see: http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/viewPropertyDetails.aspx?ID=201
Glenturret Mill is a converted watermill with log fires and Victorian roll top baths where tradition and modernity meet, and is less than an hour from both Glasgow and Edinburgh airports. As far as golf courses go, visitors here are truly spoilt for choice. From the world renowned courses at Gleneagles, to the more reserved and classic charms of the nearby world famous Crieff Golf Club plus local 9 hole courses at Comrie and Mutthill there really is something for every visitor.

Greece – time for a little self-catering?
Holidays in Greece don’t always get good press these days. There’s often some story about an unfortunate soul booking his family vacation in the same hotel as the 100-strong stag party from Droitwich, or Mr and Mrs Jones’ luxury water-front hotel room actually facing onto the local sewage pipe outlet.
The problem is – you never quite know what you’re going to get in the large holiday resorts. You might have a breathtaking view from your hotel room, but food so bad that you won’t even give it to the bad-breathed stray dog sitting at your feet. More importantly - you’re missing out on one big thing. Greece.
Greece – from its lesser-explored interior to its multitude of islands – is one of the most beautiful places on earth. It didn’t earn its title as ‘the cradle of civilisation’ for nothing... From ancient amphitheatres to hilltop olive farms and whitewashed villages perched precariously on hillsides, Greece has everything to offer and more. And that’s just the location. What about the people – some of the friendliest you’re ever likely to meet and a culture that adores children? Or indeed the local food – mouth-watering olives, cheeses, meats, retisna – all home grown and beautifully prepared.
So how do you experience the real thing? If you want a real escape, with no strings attached, then try a self-catering holiday. There are plenty of tailor-made properties out there to give you what you really want from a holiday. Be it a secluded beach-front villa or a converted stone monastery – there will be something for you. And while you sit on your private patio, sipping your local retsina and watching the sun dip behind the horizon, you can reflect on the fact that you don’t always have to believe what you read in the papers…
