Accommodation in Scotland
Congratulations! You have chosen a really great destination for your holidays!
You can find B&Bs not only in almost every little village but also in very remote regions. There it's particularly the farm houses who are offering inexpensive but excellent accommodation. Just look for "B&B" signs on the road and I guarantee you you will have success. Before I bought 20 acres of Scotland I had visited this charming country many times and there was only one reason why I had to drive 3 hours to find a free room. It was on the first Saturday in September and the evening after the famous Braemar Gathering ...
Beside this I really NEVER had any problems but if you travel in July or August I nevertheless give you the good advise to look for a B&B in time (from 3 or 4 pm).
KNOWING SPAIN.KNOWING SPAIN. THE TOWN OF CREIXELL (TARRAGONA-CATALUNYA) Are you interested moving to .....
If you really cannot find a B&B you don't have to worry. There are enough other accommodations like the more expensive hotels, a lot of cottages and youth hostels and the numerous well-equipped camping places. Moreover the 141 tourist offices throughtout Scotland will certainly try to find a suitable accommodation for you.
In the main saison I think it would be better to stay two or three nights in a B&B making day trips from there. If you prefer to explore a region and discover its timeless beauty this is the best you can do. There are so many things to do and to see in most regions of Scotland that you could visit the marvellous castles and palaces or unforgettable view points even on foot!
Accommodation Prices: When I was in Scotland for the first time in 1986, the common price for a clean B&B was 9-12 pounds per person and increased to 18-22 pounds during my last visit in Sept. 2003. Most of the B&Bs are within these limits and I don't think that the prices were raised since that time. So if the price is around 22 pounds it really don't pay to go on looking for a cheaper one.
Hotels are, of course, much more expensive. In rural regions, little towns and villages you'll have to pay 40-65 pounds. In the big cities the price depends on the stars a hotel got. We even once paid 108 pounds so take care!
