Accommodation is payable to the provider upon check-in. Please note that many Bed and Breakfasts do not have card machines and do require guests to pay in cash.

2. What is the difference between a Hostel, B&B and Hotel?
Hostels are budget accommodation. Many hostels have kitchen facilities where customers can prepare their own food. B&Bs are privately owned Guesthouses. Guests are given breakfast (continental or full, depending on the B&B) but cannot prepare their own food. Hotels are the most expensive choice of accommodation. Rooms come with a full breakfast (unless stated), and guests are unable to prepare their own food."
3. What is the difference between ensuite, standard, twin and double rooms?
Double means one double bed which sleeps two. Twin means two single beds, where you share a room but not a bed. Ensuite rooms have a private bathroom/toilet/shower within the room. Standard rooms have communal facilities that are shared with other guests.
4. How much luggage can I bring?
Luggage is restricted to one medium-sized suitcase per person. For guidance: a medium-sized suitcase is 60-69 cm high and roughly 45 cm wide. If you have more luggage than this, you can store your surplus bags with Unbaggaged (additional charges apply). Unbaggaged will collect your bags at a time and place convenient to you! They then store them at a secure central location and return them to you, again, wherever and whenever you like! "
5. Do I need to book a table for dinner in Portree?
We recommend booking restaurant tables in Portree, Skye, if you would like a sit-down meal in the evening, as many restaurants have limited seating.
6. Do I need to pre-book the optional extras?
No, you don't need to worry about pre-booking any of the optional extras. All the optional extras can be booked on the day and your Driver-Guide will advise you of how to book.
