Top Arbroath Hotel Reviews

Fairmont St Andrews

Fairmont St Andrews

8/10 Good
"Property was very comfortable. Spacious room and good value for the price. The biggest let down was the staff. It was difficult to find the valet every time I needed the car and, on the first day that I was seated for the complimentary breakfast, no server ever came to my table. Beyond that, the property is as advertised, has several amenities with good offerings for food on site. There were many activities for people of all ages to where this property would be very family friendly."

Which area of Arbroath is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious travellers seeking affordable accommodation in Arbroath, focusing on areas slightly outside the immediate town centre or exploring options within the town's residential zones often yields the best value. These areas tend to have a higher concentration of guesthouses, bed and breakfasts, and smaller independent hotels that are more competitively priced than those directly on the waterfront or main thoroughfares.

Solo travellers might find good deals in the quieter streets just a short walk from the High Street, where many guesthouses offer single rooms at attractive rates. These locations still provide easy access to local amenities, including shops and eateries, and are often well-connected by local bus routes for exploring further afield.

Couples looking for a good blend of affordability and convenience could consider staying in properties located a little inland from the harbour area.

For solo travellers, visiting in these quieter months means more competitive pricing on guesthouses and B&Bs, which are prevalent in Arbroath. The weather is often pleasant enough for exploring the town's coastal paths and historical sites like Arbroath Abbey without the summer rush. You might also find more availability for last-minute bookings, offering flexibility for spontaneous trips.

Families looking to save money will also benefit from off-peak travel, as prices for self-catering cottages and larger accommodations tend to drop. Attractions like the Signal Tower Museum or a boat trip along the coast might offer reduced rates or special family deals outside of the busiest times.
