Hotels in Scotland Scotland is known to have some of the world's best hotels. Hotel accommodation in Scotland has long since been a popular choice with both foreign and Scottish visitors alike. Many A-list celebrities frequent Scotland's luxury hotels. Scotland is becoming an increasingly fashionable holiday destination amongst the glitterati with many illustrious events being hosted here and with the rising popularity of the Scottish wedding, as favoured by the likes of Madonna. For those on a budget, there is also a vast range of cheap hotels in Scotland to choose from. There are hotels in every area of Scotland, from Edinburgh to Inverness, from the Borders to the Highlands. Affordable or luxurious, lively or peaceful - whatever you're after, you're guaranteed to find a Scottish hotel to match your needs. Scotland's cities have literally thousands of hotels on offer. For those looking for a romantic retreat, there are self contained hotels in the middle of nowhere where you can make a nest and go under-cover for a while. For group parties, there's a Scottish hotel to suit every purpose - maybe you're looking for overnight accommodation for a staff party or for a hen night or maybe you're after a family-friendly hotel close to local attractions, whatever your requirements, you won't be disappointed.
Bed and Breakfast Accommodation in Scotland Scotland is famous for its high quality B&Bs and guest houses, which truly are a home-from-home. Being away from home can be quite wearing and many people find staying in hotels a soulless experience. The great thing about a bed and breakfast or guest house is that you stay in a proper home. Generally considered less formal than hotels, B&Bs are a popular choice for couples, single people and families alike. By staying in the home of the locals, B&Bs offer a more authentic way to experience Scotland. Most offer a traditional Scottish cooked breakfast which is guaranteed to put meat on your bones! Renowned for being warm and friendly, Scottish bed and breakfast establishments are often located in beautiful areas. There are many B&Bs in the more remote parts of Scotland, such as the Highlands, and there are also many in Scotland's cities. If you're on a biking, walking or touring holiday in Scotland, bed and breakfast accommodation is often a good option as you can gorge yourself at breakfast before setting out for the day. There are almost as many types of Scottish bed and breakfast establishments as there are munros! You can choose from farmhouses, cottages, city mansions and country estates - all offer a unique experience. Read about B&B voucher programs.

Scotland Castle Hotel
Fancy staying in a Scottish Castle? Scotland has many castles dating from ancient history to the Victorian period and, as a country, is famous for its beautiful and unspoilt scenery, its distinctive culture and its dramatic history. With A-list celebrities such as Madonna opting for a Scottish castle wedding and with Scotland proving an increasingly popular holiday destination for the modern traveller, there has never been a more fashionable time to visit Scotland. Whether you're heading for a Scottish city or favouring a more rural setting, there's a castle nearby guaranteed to quench your thirst for a truly authentic Scottish experience, filled with the spirit of bygone days. With an abundance of self catering castle accommodation and castle hotels alike, there is a Scottish castle to suit you, whatever your requirements. So, whether you are seeking a romantic setting for a castle wedding or a holiday in accommodation with a difference, we offer the possibility to make your stay a memorable one. We are including in these listings two types of establishments: those in buildings which are ancient and medieval by origin, alongside more recent country-house buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries that were built in dramatic baronial styles with towers, turrets and so on - but this was all grand design and styling typical of that period and these buildings were never meant to see military action!
Borthwick Castle Only twelve miles from Edinburgh in a pastoral valley, this romantic castle stands on the summit of a knoll on the periphery of the romantic Borders immortalized by Sir Walter Scott. Borthwick Castle built in 1430 was once the refuge of Mary Queen of Scots and the Earl of Bothwell. All the bedchambers, tastefully furnished in period style. Guests will wonder at the miracle of the stone mason's art embodied in the spiral staircases, the fourteen foot thickness of the walls and the magnificent twin towers which stand 100 feet high from the dungeons to the battlements.
Dornoch Castle All 18 bedrooms are tastefully decorated with a strong emphasis on comfort, tranquillity but still having that baronial home feel about it. There are Superior Castle Rooms, Castle Rooms and Garden Rooms and there are several rooms of individual character. Many rooms which overlook the formal walled gardens and have wonderful views of the Dornoch Firth and to the hills beyond.
Dalhousie Castle The castle has 29 stylishly appointed standard castle rooms, all with private bathrooms. All Castle rooms are non-smoking. Aqueous at Dalhousie offers an excellent range of Spa treatments. Glenapp Castle was built in 1870 by the celebrated architect David Bryce for James Hunter, the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire. The castle and its lands were purchased in 1917 by James Lyle Mackay, subsequently the first Earl of Inchcape. Within the castle there are graceful lounges and elegant dining rooms as well as 17 individually furnished and decorated bedrooms and suites and seemingly endless oak panelled hallways and corridors. All are handsomely furnished with personally chosen antiques and fine oil paintings, and individually decorated to the highest standard in traditional style.
Inverlochy Castle Inverlochy Castle is one of the world's most luxurious castle hotels, and regularly plays host to a myriad of international stars and royalty. Its breathtaking charm has been enjoyed by the likes of Mel Gibson and Liam Neeson, and is even featured in the diaries of Queen Victoria who wrote "I never saw a lovelier or more romantic spot". Built in 1863, the castle is uniquely situated between two of Scotland's most famous landmarks - Ben Nevis and Loch Ness, and stands proudly within some of the most magnificent scenery in the Highlands. With just 17 palatial bedrooms, this "hidden gem" is wonderfully discreet, and is surrounded by 500 acres of fabulous landscaped gardens, leading down to its own private loch.
Kildrummy Castle Set in the heart of the Grampian Highlands, overlooking the ruins of the original 13th century castle, Kildrummy Castle Hotel offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the style and elegance of a bygone era. Kildrummy is a Scottish country house.
The Roxburghe Hotel & Golf Course. Also known as Floors Castle., the hotel is one of Scotland's finest country house hotels, set in 500 acres of mature woodland and rolling parkland, beside the River Teviot near Kelso. The Roxburghe has a relaxed, home from home atmosphere, which our guests find particularly welcoming and has earned a reputation for really good Scottish food and outstanding service. The largest inhabited house in Scotland, Floors Castle is home to the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe and their family. You can wander through spectacular State rooms with priceless European paintings.
Skibo Castle Throughout history Skibo has held a position of prominence. Its Celtic name translates as fairyland or place of peace. The checkered history of Skibo reflects the history of the highlands, and this provides much of Skibo's enchantment. This was the setting for Madonna's wedding. The castle forms the principle clubhouse, offering reception rooms with bedrooms and bathrooms of individual character Stonefield Castle Stonefield Castle Hotel is an outstanding example of Scottish baronial architecture. Built in 1837, the Castle stands high on the famous Kintyre peninsula commanding quite spectacular panoramic views over Loch Fyne
