Expanding our unique, distinctive collection...

Sheepskin’s collection of holiday homes is & will always remain deliberately small. However to meet the needs of our guests we are searching for a limited number of special places to stay.

We are looking for more distinctive and unique homes located in inspiring and fascinating locations, focussing now in England & Scotland and particularly cottages ideal for 2 or 4 guests.
