Is 2026 the year of the destination house?

Meg Honigmann suggests that for self-catering holiday bookings in 2026, the location may not be the primary priority for travellers. Meanwhile, in Scotland's 2026 Town of the Year, an award-winning chippy is being recognised as perfect. The establishment is praised for consistently providing food that is fresh, full of flavour, and perfectly cooked. These developments highlight shifting preferences in destination housing and the continued excellence of traditional Scottish culinary offerings within award-winning local towns.
