B&Bs & guest houses

There’s something special about the experience of staying in bed and breakfasts and guest houses in Scotland, looked after by a friendly host. Whether you stay for just one night or a whole week, wake up in a comfy bed and enjoy a delicious Scottish breakfast before heading out for the day to explore.

Why choose a guest house or bed & breakfast in Scotland?

Enjoy accommodation in a private house, usually run by the owner. With lots of personalised touches, great service and a warm welcome, make the most of your host and ask for their insider tips on places to visit, things to do, and walks in the area.

Start the day with a traditional Scottish breakfast (haggis optional) or full continental, which will include cold meats, cheese, fresh fruit, and bakery items, and other dietary requirements. Some even serve evening meals. B&Bs and guest houses do not usually provide facilities for you to cook for yourself.

Many B&Bs and guest houses in Scotland offer extra facilities such as off-road parking, pet-friendly rooms, or handy storage for bikes or golf clubs.

Whilst both B&Bs and guest houses offer a bed for the night and breakfast the next morning, B&Bs will usually host no more than six guests at one time, offering a personal touch to your stay. Guest houses tend to be larger, with at least four bedrooms for guests.

Different types of B&Bs

Whether you are looking for a cheap bed and breakfast or a luxury guest house, we have accommodation to suit all budgets.

Cheap bed & breakfasts in Scotland

Looking for an affordable and practical stay in Scotland? Lots of guest houses and bed & breakfasts in Scotland offer budget accommodation in beautiful buildings that are set in stunning locations.

All B&Bs and guest houses offer a range of room types, including family rooms. However, budget guest houses and cheap bed and breakfasts are more likely to have shared or private bathrooms, rather than an en-suite.
