With Scotland’s Summer calendar being so jam packed this summer and with such a huge number of festivals being held up north, Scotland is fast becoming the preferred destination for many during the festival season.

Unparalleled scenery, characteristically friendly people, and an atmosphere that is unrivalled are just some of the things that make Scotland an absolutely essential holidaying destination. Famous for its historic castles, traditional Highland games and beautiful lochs, as well as the place for stylish shopping and the perfect stage for new and exciting events, there is nowhere else quite like it.

We have selected a few luxurious accommodation options for those planning on journeying to a Scottish festival this year.

Inverness // Belladrum & RockNess

Our highlight in Inverness, for those heading to the Belladrum Festival is the Rocpool Reserve Hotel. The only 5 Star Hotel in Inverness is a gorgeous renovated Georgian Mansion right in the centre of Inverness. Boasting stunning views over the River Ness, and being but a short walk from the centre of town and the elegant Inverness Castle, the Hotel is ideally located.

It’s also not too far from the hotel to the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival. Those wanting to enjoy the festival experience in style would do well to consider this stunning top notch Hotel. With bathrooms that are almost spa-esque, with big deep baths and rain showers, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better way of unwinding after a days heavy festivaling.

And also in Inverness we have the Glenmoriston Town House offers an impressive contrast to the cities traditional hotels. Whether you're a serious shopper, theatre-goer, culture vulture or on business, the Glenmoriston has something to offer you and with all the city has to offer literally a few yards away.

With Inverness not being too far away from the famous RockNess Festival, this could be the ideal place to convalesce from your weekend of heavy raving and party going antics.

Dumfries & Galloway // Wickerman

For those wanting a taste of luxury at Wickerman this year, Dumfries has Southpark House, a 4 star guest house in an impressive and peaceful location on the edge of town. Boasting panoramic views over the 3 valleys, in a totally unspoilt location, your stay at Southpark is likely to be the perfect antidote to the festival mayhem at the Wickerman Festival this year.
