How we checked the room guides

Rough guide built by YachtSync from published average prices for mid-range hotels and guesthouses in each town (travel-cost guides, tourism sites and travel price indices), with at least two sources per town. Never from Booking.com. Refreshed quarterly.

  • Glasgow, £80 to £150, checked 23 Sep 2026. Published averages for 2-star to 3-star hotels in Glasgow, per room per night. Sources: BudgetYourTrip (2-star hotels average £85/night; 3-star hotels average £145/night); Champion Traveler (hotels range $37-$155/night, average $67; one person sharing a room averages $101 (£74)/night).
  • Warsash, £35 to £95, checked 23 Sep 2026. Based on nearby Fareham and Southampton (Warsash itself has negligible published hotel data); budget to mid-range hotel averages. Sources gave USD; converted to GBP at the ECB rate on 2026-09-22 and rounded. Sources: Champion Traveler (Southampton hotels $45 to $116 per night, average $79); trivago (Fareham budget hotels $40-$67/night; Southampton typical price around $130/night (range $57-$342)).
How to read this table.
  • Dates and prices come from each school’s own public pages. Re-confirm with the school before you pay.
  • A price is shown only against a date the school is still selling, or the price it publishes for the course when it lists no dates. A price with conditions we cannot compare like for like (several options, an extra charge with no figure, a price before VAT) is shown in the school’s own words and listed after the complete prices.
  • Prices in another currency are converted at the European Central Bank reference rate published on 25 Sep 2026 and marked approx, with the school’s own figure under them. An estimate for comparison, not what your bank will charge.
  • Most schools here do not publish what their price includes, so ask the school before you book.
  • “Other costs” is about the town, not the school: a rough guide to a room there where we have sampled one, never a live price. “Variable” means we have not sampled that town.

Ordering. Sorted by price or by date, whichever you choose, never by commission. No school on this page pays YachtSync a commission. How we rank providers.
