"The hotel is a bit far out from the shops so unless you’re reasonably fit , you might need a car. Our room was large an good sized en suite. The other problem I would point out is that, iagain if you’re struggling with walking ,or require the aid of a stick or other walking aid there’s a lot of stairs to reach some of the rooms. My husband did struggle with them. Ideal for a one night stop over."

Top Isle of May Hotel Reviews

Fairmont St Andrews

Fairmont St Andrews

10/10 Excellent
"I recently stayed at the Fairmont and had a fantastic experience overall. The staff were attentive, professional, and always willing to help, which made the stay feel truly welcoming. The rooms were comfortable, well-appointed, and provided everything needed for a relaxing stay. The golf facilities were excellent and a real highlight of the trip, with the course being in great condition and offering a superb experience. My only criticism would be the breakfast service. While the food itself was very good, the queues were extremely long and resulted in a considerable wait each morning. Improving the breakfast flow would make a significant difference to the overall guest experience. Despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would happily return."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Isle Of May cost?
Budget hotel prices in Isle Of May vary, but you can find a great deal from £56 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
When is the most affordable time to visit Isle Of May?
The most affordable time to visit the Isle of May is generally during the shoulder seasons, specifically May or September, just outside the peak summer months. During these periods, you can often find better deals on accommodation and travel, while still enjoying favourable weather and abundant wildlife.

For solo travellers, visiting in May offers the chance to see the island's puffin colonies return and nest, often with fewer crowds than in high summer. September provides a similar benefit, with the added bonus of witnessing the seal pups. Ferries to the island operate less frequently outside of peak season, but booking in advance can secure better rates. Additionally, many local guesthouses on the mainland, in towns like Anstruther or North Berwick, might offer reduced prices.
How can I save on a budget hotel in Isle Of May with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Isle Of May. Join One Key™, our free travel rewards programme, to unlock Member Prices across a range of hotels. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on hotel bookings. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
What free activities should we do in Isle Of May?
The Isle of May offers several wonderful free activities for solo travellers seeking to immerse themselves in nature and history. The island itself is a National Nature Reserve, meaning much of its beauty is accessible without charge.

A primary free activity is exploring the island's walking trails. These paths wind through stunning landscapes, offering breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and the North Sea. Solo travellers can spend hours observing the diverse birdlife, especially during nesting season when puffins, guillemots, and razorbills flock to the cliffs. The opportunity to witness these incredible creatures in their natural habitat is truly special and costs nothing beyond your ferry fare to the island.

Another engaging free activity involves discovering the island's historical landmarks. You can visit the remains of the 12th-century monastery, providing a glimpse into the Isle of May's ancient past, or explore the exterior of the historic lighthouses, including Scotland's first lighthouse built in 1636.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Isle Of May as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Isle Of May for you.
