How Scotland's Hotel Landscape Has Transformed the Road Trip Experience

How Scotland's Hotel Landscape Has Transformed the Road Trip Experience

A Scottish road trip used to mean comfortable but unremarkable accommodation along the route. That is no longer the case. The variety of hotels in Scotland has evolved considerably, and online booking sites such as My Hotel Break provide road trippers with access to the full range, from converted castles and boutique highland hotels to modern coastal properties and characterful town-center hotels worth planning a route around. Hotels on a road trip had a serviceable function for a long time. They were the place where you slept between interesting parts of the trip. The best Scottish hotels now have transcended that role. A night in a converted Victorian railway hotel in a highland market town, a stay in a cliff-top coastal property with views across to the islands, or a room in a working distillery hotel that serves its own whisky in the bar are all experiences that contribute to the memory of the trip in their own right.
