Scotland 2022, Accommodation help.

[Sapper520]

We’re planning a trip to Scotland next year but haven’t finalised our route.

Our sons have surprised us with, ‘why don’t we meet up with you for a week?’. Fine with us, but we need a cottage / house that will take 6 adults and 4 kids. If we can find somewhere that will let us sleep in our van, then a place that will sleep 4 adults and 4 kids.

Dates are 27th May 2022 to 4th June 2022…..school half term of course.

The Inverness area is their preference, but almost anywhere would be considered.

Quotes for a reasonable place come in at £2k+ We’ve done 3 weeks in Spain on our motorcycles for that!

Anyone got any connections?

You're right, Spain, or France, would be cheaper than Scotland. Prices have gone through the roof.

 

[Grianan]

£2000 a week is going rate. But if you’re getting that for 6 people it’s less than £50 a night per adult with kids free

It’s £2000 for 5 nights. 6 adults, 4 kids under 7. That works out just under £700 for us adults each couple.

10 hour plus drive from home (if we’re not already touring), fuel, food and spending money probably totalling £1000 per couple.

Done a quick search for a large Gite in France (about 2 hours from Caen or Le Havre). We can take three vehicles over for a week, less than half the driving time and still not spend £3000.

What about a site that has static caravans and a touring area?

Eye watering prices as well. ……but thanks anyway.

As long as I feel I’m getting value for money I’m happy to pay……but I’m not feeling that, especially when I check out prices just over the channel, including all travel costs.

Not in anyway suggesting \ proposing (never been there) and maybe I'm mis-reading their website but seems to be £300-350 \ week \ static and £150 for a touring pitch.

Deeside or the Black Isle

 

[Puddleduck]

Maybe look at Millport, Isle of Cumbrae, not so far to travel ..... or Isle of Bute or Arran or any of the Slate Islands.
