5 Airbnb Rentals That Beat Any Luxury Hotel

Bored of overcrowded hotel lobbies and unsavoury guests? Then take a look at these 5 Airbnb holiday rentals that will beat a luxury hotel suite any day of the week. We’ve scoured the website to find 5 completely different and utterly unique properties for you to choose from.

1. DAIRSIE CASTLE CUPAR, FIFE, UNITED KINGDOM,

CASTLE-1---TGJ-compressor
CASTLE-2---TGJ-compressor
CASTLE-4---TGJ-compressor

Keeping it close to home, we turn first to this magnificent castle in Fife, Scotland. If you were to go with a group of 12 friends it would work out as a mere £50 per person per night – and to stay in such grand luxury, we think that’s pretty darn good. With stunning oak furnishings throughout the castle and large dinning and entertaining areas it’s simply asking for a week long house party (the old fashioned kind, that is!)

SLEEPS: 13

BEDROOMS: 6

BATHROOMS: 5

Marble floors and ornate furnishings are in abundance and the luscious gardens are all yours for the taking.
