Location, Location, Location: Consider what kind of experience you want. If you're looking for tranquillity and scenic views, a hotel by Loch Ness or a quiet rural location might be perfect. On the other hand, if you want easy access to the city's attractions, a central Inverness location is ideal.
Book direct: There are many good reasons for booking direct with an accommodation.

Many offer better prices if you book direct, it’s a great incentive and benefits you and the local business.

Last minute bookings can be subject to a higher demand in peak season and therefore an increased room rate. Booking in advance also ensures you get the best selection to choose from.
Peak or off peak… that is the question: Consider travelling out of peak season, there are a number of reasons this is a good choice. Ok, we all want longer days and the potential for sunnier weather…. but this is Scotland, it is still possible to get four seasons of weather in a day in August! Booking in the shoulder months and out of peak season means that you may benefit from a reduced room rate, it is less busy and easier to get about, get dinner reservations and don’t worry, the majority of the attractions and activities are still open and looking forward to welcoming guests.
Amenities and Facilities: Consider what amenities are important to you. Do you need Wi-Fi for work or leisure? Is a pool or fitness centre a must-have? Make a list of your priorities to narrow down your options. Remember, your choice of accommodation can greatly enhance your travel experience, so take your time to find the perfect place that aligns with your preferences and travel goals.
