Scotland under $100/night

First of all, thanks to those who have posted Scotland information..Sheila and Tony especially. I have been planning a trip for November. Bought the tickets, figured out the scope of the trip, now trying to come up with some hotels. <BR> <BR>The parameters of the trip are going to be (roughly) Aberfeldy to the north, Glasgow to the west, the North Sea to the east and Hadrian's Wall to the south. <BR> <BR>We decided we'd like to keep the accomodations under $100 U.S. Dollars per night or under about 60 pounds per night. <BR> <BR>We'd like an inn or B&B with 5-10 rooms. Don't feel comfortable in someone's house with one or two rooms to let...don't want to stay in anything that resembles a chain or big hotel. <BR> <BR>Can anyone make any recommendations? <BR> <BR>Thanks for your help! And I'm really excited about visiting Scotland!!!

Nancy <BR> <BR>I'm sorry I'm off tonight myself for 2 whole weeks in sunny Greece. i don't have time to think about this properly. Here are some suggestions to be going on with. I haven't checked the Tariffs but expect them to be roughly where you want them. And remember to negotiate. These guys will often come down from the rack rate <BR> <BR>E-mail if it can wait till after 8th Sept. <BR> <BR>Craw's Nest Anstruther <BR>Tormaulkin, Gleneagles <BR>Ailean Craggan, Weem, Aberfeldy <BR>Moulin Inn, Moulin Pitlochry <BR>Bein Inn, Glenfarg, Perth <BR>Ailean craggan, Weem, Aberfeldy <BR>

About a week ago in Edinburgh we stayed at the Ravenseuk Guest House - 0131-667-5347. It was really nice, maybe the nicest place we stayed in the UK. I guess they have about five rooms. It's about a mile+ walk to the Royal Mile but there are busses nearby. I think we paid 50pounds. The host was nice and the food good.

Also was in Edinburgh about a week ago and stayed in one of the best B&B's I've ever stayed in. Cameron Toll Guest House (has about 10 rooms I believe and was 60 pounds per night). It's a few miles south of town center on Dalkeith Road near Cameron Toll Roundabout. They have a carpark in front and are also on a major busline that will take you to town center very quickly. They have a website and their email address is "[email protected]". The hosts were very friendly, helpful and well-informed, lots of info there on the city, beautiful rooms, great food, dinner available if you want it, comfortable common rooms and a seemingly loyal customer base who come there on a regular basis. I can't say enough good things about them and they are well worth checking out.

Thanks for everyone who answered. I am still checking out places on the internet and found Lenymede B&B in Callander. Wonderful website at <BR> <BR>http://www.lenymede.demon.co.uk/index.html <BR> <BR>and the prices seem inline with what we want to pay. <BR> <BR>Will take all suggestions! The neatest places are found through word of mouth. <BR>
