The beautiful Island off the North West tip of Scotland is very popular among couples as a romantic weekend retreat but it is equally suited to a family break from the norm. Once you have crossed the famous Skye Bridge - mountain biking, hill walking, nature trails and simply taking in the scenery and slower pace of life are what to expect on your trip to Skye.

The Island is full of charming holiday cottages, self catering accommodation and welcoming guest houses, but you can also spoil yourself with a 4 star hotel stay if you so choose.

Our Skye Hotels section provides visitor ratings for guest houses and hotels on Skye and allows you to compare room prices for specific holiday dates. Don’t forget that all accommodation on Skye is also protected by our best price guarantee.

We sincerely hope you enjoy your trip to The Isle of Skye.

Edinburgh hotels and guest houses will be preparing for busier times already, and a walk along The Royal Mile this week will already show an increase in sightseers. It once was the case that Edinburgh's tourist season ran for several of the best summer months but now it is an all-year-round affair with only a slight dip over the worst of the Scottish winter (although even then there is a separate influx for Edinburgh's hogmanay celebrations).

Tourists and visitors are spoilt for choice when it comes to finding Edinburgh hotels to suit all budgets, and tastes.  Of course you can choose to stay in magnificent accommodation such as The Scotsman Hotel on North Bridge, but there are also many more affordable options in the form of hostels and guest houses across Edinburgh.

Visitors from overseas usually have the need to book in advance, but for those of you planning a trip from somewhere closer it can sometimes be left until the last minute, so be sure to book in advance where possible. As summer approaches the influx of visitors doubles the population of Edinburgh at it's peak, so many as there are, available Edinburgh hotels become harder to find. This is especially true towards the end of summer, during Edinburgh Festival time.

Its great to have a holiday in Scotland, but it doesn’t always have to be a full-blown two-week extravaganza. Scotland is a great place for a weekend, a few days or even a two-night treat.
