Accommodation
in
Scotland |
|
| |
After receiving a number of
requests for information on accommodation in Scotland from
members who are planning a trip in the future I have carried out
a quick piece of research and I have found that the cheapest and
most cost affective way of staying while visiting this beautiful
country is in my opinion not to stay in bed and breakfasts but
rather if you can you are better served to consider booking a
cottage for a week. |
|
|
 |
|
If you consider that the
average cost of a double room seems to be around £45 GBP per
room per night or in many cases per person per night you will
see that for a |
| |
couple to stay in bed and
breakfast accommodation for one week would cost them around £315
GBP per week and this is for one double room possibly with en
suit and breakfast usually consisting of fried food, couple this
with a responsibility to 'keep the noise down' because of people
on the other side of the wall and just four walls to look at on
a rainy day and you will see that although the B&B may well be
clean warm and comfortable it does have its drawbacks over a
full week. |
|
|
|
A cottage usually consists of at
least two bedrooms (some en suit), a lounge, Kitchen bathroom,
heating, TV, etc, in fact all mod cons you would expect and many
also provide |
 |
| |
full bed linen, further many also
allow a dog, no noise restriction and you can come and go as you
please at any time of the day and night without disturbing
anyone, in most cases you also have the added benefit of
seclusion and stunning views. It therefore does not take a
rocket scientist to see that the advantage of renting a cottage
for a week is vastly superior to B&B for the same period of
time, that is not to say that B&B's are bad, in most cases they
are very clean and good value but in my opinion there is no
comparison with renting your own private cottage instead. |

I have been so struck with the
quality of one particular cottage hire firm that I have decided
to devote this page to it for the benefit of members, for
example take a look at one of their typical cottages: |
|
| |
The firm 'Unique
Scotland' is one of Scotland's premier companies in this
field and enjoys a reputation to be envied. |
