ACCOMMODATION
Hostels, Bed and Breakfast houses; Guest houses; Small hotels; Luxury hotels

Like many others, you are welcome to come and arrange your own cycling holiday by choosing your own routes and arranging your own accommodation.
By using our service you can rely to good quality tried and tested cyclist - friendly accommodation.

Most of our accommodation places are in small towns or villages where other services are available. We are aware that a hearty breakfast is a high priority for cyclists as well as the ability to obtain a packed lunch if required. All accommodation will have suitable cycle storage and drying facilities.

Where possible we use premises that are part of the the VisitScotland "Cyclists Welcome" scheme, as long as they also come up to our other standards of excellence.

Accommodation charges are per person based on two people sharing a double/twin room.

Four Categories of Accommodation

Youth Hostels
There are 2 excellent youth hostels in our region which are part of the Scottish Youth hostel Association scheme. One is fairly remote but in a stunning location with great views.  There are also a few other privately run hostels in the region. 

For a budget walking break, both youth hostels and/or cheaper B&B's in areas where no hostels exist can be used as a base.

 
Bed and Breakfast/Guest Houses

This accommodation is in our tried and tested private houses which offer excellent value. The property owners all provide a friendly and personal welcome. You are more likely to sample more of the local culture with the informality of a bed and breakfast house. They should be able to provide a packed lunch if required.
