West Highland Way Accommodation
One of the highlights of your walking holiday on the West Highland Way is the high standard of the accommodation you will enjoy. The B&B's, inns and guesthouses we use are hand-picked to ensure that you enjoy every minute of your stay. All offer a warm welcome to walkers, traditional country hospitality and delicious local food. We do recommend that you book this trip early as the area is always popular and the hotels and inns do fill up early, especially in high season. Our standard B&B package includes hand-picked B&B, guesthouse and country inn accommodation. Our hotel option uses only hotel accommodatino in each location.

Single Rooms:
This independent walking holiday is available to solo walkers but as all our holidays are priced per person based on two sharing there is a single supplement payable to cover the additional costs we incur.

The single supplement for multiple single rooms in one party may be higher than advertised so please contact us directly for a quote.
