any compensation claim. Please ensure you take out cancellation insurance prior to your trip.

This guide has been split into five sections for the following accommodation categories:

Pricing The prices of accommodation, services and facilities stated in this guide are based on information received from the relevant advertisers.

Please note that prices include VAT where applicable and are for your guidance only (VAT as at December 2012). Please check prices when you book accommodation and confirm exactly what the quoted price includes.

• Hotels and Inns • Guest Houses and B&Bs • Self Catering • Camping and Caravan Parks • Hostels/Activity Accommodation Establishments are listed within these sections in alphabetical order by location and then by business name. Each entry has a map reference (see example) relating to the map which appears on page 81 of this guide. The maps are helpful if you don’t know where a particular town is in relation to the area that interests you. Where establishments are listed as ‘By’ a city, town or village it is wise to check the exact location online and with the operator before making your journey.

Some listings have a distance beside the location; this indicates the approximate road distance in miles from the location. These mileages are voluntary provided by the businesses themselves.

Booking Accepting accommodation by telephone or in writing means you have entered into a legally binding contract with the proprietor of the establishment. If you cancel or fail to take up that accommodation, for whatever reason, the proprietor generally has the right to ask for compensation. You should always check the cancellation terms in advance and, if you must cancel a booking, advise the management immediately. Online bookings are also subject to terms and conditions, please check direct with the provider for these.

Insurance and cancellations Should you have to cancel for any reason, it is reassuring to know that you can be insured against

Smoking The majority of Scotland’s indoor public places, including pubs, restaurants and cafés, are smokefree by law, creating a healthier and fresher environment for residents and visitors to our beautiful country. Hotels, B&Bs and guest houses are also smoke-free but can designate bedrooms where guests can smoke, if they wish to do so.

To check the availability of such bedrooms, please check with the establishment directly when booking. For further information, visit www.clearingtheairscotland.com

VisitScotland is committed to equality of opportunity and is working through its Accessible Tourism Project to educate and inform all our customers about the requirements under the law. We have encouraged all our business customers to use the assistance dog symbol in order to comply with law, or make it clear in a statement that they welcome all assistance dogs. It is always advisable to check with each establishment prior to booking.

v Hearing Loop Induction loop and infrared systems help people with hearing loss hear more clearly by reducing the effect of background noise. When a building has been fitted with a loop or infrared system, you will usually find this mentioned in their adverts, newsletters and at the entrance to the building.

Informative signs and symbols should be displayed such as the loop sign above, it is always worth asking if it is not obvious. Please note this icon is not verified by VisitScotland Quality and Standards Department. , Dogs Welcome

Argyll & The Isles offer a fabulous range of quality assured accommodation as listed on pages 22-76.

Establishments which display the above symbol offer short breaks. Contact them direct for current special offers or to make a booking.

Assistance Dogs The new Equality Act 2010 protects anybody who has or has had a disability and people who experience discrimination because they are linked or associated with a disabled person.

In respect of assistance dogs the law quite clearly states that to refuse admission to a registered assistance dog is now unlawful and constitutes discrimination under the Equality Act 2012 under three possible categories: 1: discrimination arising

In this area some/most of the population speak the Gaelic language (as well as English), so if you wish to stay with Gaelic speakers please look out for the symbol within entries and ask when you book your accommodation to confirm that this is available.

Our spectacular sea-shore location enjoys ever changing sea views to the Island of Mull. The two luxury toilet blocks with disabled room, parent and baby room and information room provide the very best facilities. The park provides an ideal base for those who want to sail, water-ski, canoe or fish, cycle on the quiet side roads or tackle the mountains nearby and grab a Munro. For a quieter holiday there are gardens and castles, and for those who just want to chill-out, the park provides a quiet location to enjoy the view and take a gentle stroll along the two miles of shore.

Millions to see.

One way to go.

From

.nd7tw0o £C6ar7 a gers passen return

*Price is based on Oban to Craignure route.

Argyll & the Isles is famous for its wildlife and the best way to see it is from a Caledonian MacBrayne ferry. Sea eagles, minke whales, bottlenose dolphins and occasionally humpback, orca and sperm whales have all been spotted by our passengers. What’s more, with ancient castles, standing stones, burial cairns and historic battlegrounds to explore, there’s lots to do too. Just bring your camera and a sense of wonder.

Caledonian MacBrayne and CalMac are trading names of CalMac Ferries Ltd.
