Accommodation Explained

Your tour price does not include the cost of accommodation.

• Accommodation is pre-booked by Heart of Scotland Tours (or by yourself) and you pay card or cash at check in or check out. Please note some Bed and Breakfasts (B&Bs) only accept cash.
• If you would like us to pre-book your accommodation you will receive an email prior to departure confirming location, costs and payment arrangements.  The price of accommodation can sometimes fluctuate depending on season/ demand.  In the unlikely event we are unable to book accommodation within the price range outlined below we’ll contact you to discuss options.
• Accommodation in rural areas such as Skye can sometimes be located 10-15 minutes walk from the town centre. We use several providers and allocation of rooms is determined by availabililty rather than date of booking. Taxis are available if necessary.
• The prices and pictures below are for guidance only.

Our accommodation providers are very busy and we would advise booking early.
