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 availability 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.
