Live your Cottagecore Dreams in the Scottish Countryside
As the days grow longer and the warmth of summer beckons, there's no better time to plan a getaway. This year, why not escape to the enchanting Scottish countryside? Far from the bustling city life, Scotland’s rural areas offer a tranquil retreat filled with breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and most intriguingly, the unique interior aesthetics of British cottages. I have personally spent the past three summers in the Scottish countryside and the lush greenery and unique beaches are some of the reasons I keep coming back. So, here's why the Scottish countryside should be your top summer destination.
Surround yourself with nature
Scotland’s countryside is a mosaic of rolling hills, serene lochs, and lush green pastures. Each region, from the Highlands to the Lowlands, offers a distinct landscape that promises peace and solitude. Here, you can immerse yourself in nature, enjoy leisurely hikes, and explore quaint villages. The true beauty of Scotland lies in its untouched, natural scenery that provides a perfect backdrop for relaxation and adventure. Make sure to pair your getaway with "tartan inspired" pajamas to blend in with the Scotsmen and their kilts. Oh, and bring your own nature-inspired bedding because although the countryside is cozy and serene, you never know if the bedding in your accommodation will live up to how amazing Ever Lasting's bedding is.

One of the most delightful aspects of British cottages is the personalized touches that make each home unique. You’ll find antique furniture, vintage crockery, and an array of quirky, decorative items that tell a story of the countryside's history and the lives of those who have lived there. These touches add character and charm, making your stay feel like a step back in time. Bring a vintage feel in your bedroom with cottagecore bedding.
