Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Plockton?
The best area to stay in Plockton is the village centre, particularly along the waterfront.

This area is the heart of Plockton, known for its picturesque row of whitewashed cottages facing Plockton Bay and the surrounding hills. It's a small, compact village, so everything is within easy walking distance. You'll find the local shops, pubs, and restaurants primarily along Main Street and Harbour Street, which run parallel to the shore. The village is particularly famous for its palm trees, which thrive in the mild climate.

Couples looking for a peaceful and scenic escape will find the waterfront ideal. Many accommodations here offer stunning views across the bay, superb for enjoying a quiet evening. You can easily access boat trips from the harbour, and there are lovely walks directly from your doorstep, such as the path to the headland for panoramic views.

For those seeking a more secluded and quiet experience, particularly for a relaxing holiday, staying slightly set back from the main waterfront, perhaps on the roads leading up the hill from Main Street, can be a good option.
When is the best time to go to Plockton?
The best time to go to Plockton is during the late spring and summer months, from May to September, when the weather is generally mildest and the days are long.

May and June offer pleasant temperatures and fewer midges, making them ideal for outdoor activities like walking or boat trips to spot wildlife. The rhododendrons are often in full bloom during this period, adding to the visual appeal of the village.

July and August are the warmest months and are excellent for enjoying the lochside activities and longer daylight hours. This is peak season, so the village will be at its busiest, but you'll experience Plockton at its most active, with many local events and opportunities for boat excursions.

September is also a lovely time to visit. The crowds begin to thin, but the weather often remains agreeable, and the autumn colours start to appear in the surrounding landscapes.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival.
