Unicorn Tours is happy to give info and advice on your accommodation options and to send you contact details of accommodation providers. Your night time accommodation is separate and unconnected to the daytime tour you are booking with Unicorn Tours. You should book your accommodation directly with the accommodation provider.
The tour throughout the day will remain the same, no matter if we pick you up in the morning /drop you off at night at a 5* hotel or hostel, this allows you to pay as little or as much for your accommodation as you like.
Once you have settled on your own personal preferred itinerary, we then suggest some suitable towns to stay overnight.
It is then entirely up to you, to either book the hotels, guesthouses, self-catering cottages, hostels, etc. yourself.
We are happy to send you some links, ideas, suggestions, and recommendations. we just assist with the accommodation booking.

Accommodation is not included in the tour cost.
This is to be flexible and allow everyone in the group to stay at the place you like the best.
As all Highland towns are small we can drop you off at night/pick you up in the morning from any hostel, Bed & Breakfast, hotel or campground of your choice.
We normally prefer for the group to stay together, but if some wish to stay in a Bed & Breakfast or hotel and others at a youth hostel, it is ok for our group to be split, for example, some to stay in a hostel and for the others to be in a Bed & Breakfast. Usually, the places are just next door or across the road from each other.
We will always discuss, advise and recommend places for you to stay and can assist during your enquiry and booking process, but it will be you who is paying for your accommodation.
