๐ฃ A little change going forward at Duirinish Pods & Bothyโฆ ๐ฃ
As another incredibly busy summer season comes to an end, weโve made the decision that going forward The Bothy will no longer be available through Booking.com during our busy summer months.
Weโve noticed some confusion this summer between our pods and The Bothy when booking through Booking.com. Our two pods each have their own private hot tub, while The Bothy is a completely separate, more budget-friendly accommodation without a hot tub.
Despite trying to make this as clear as possible through our listing, photographs and follow up booking messages, weโve still had a few guests arrive expecting a pod when they had actually booked The Bothy. Unfortunately, this confusion has also started to affect our review scores, with some guests marking The Bothy down simply because it wasnโt the pod they had expected to arrive at, rather than because of the accommodation or service they received.
During the quieter months we can often offer an upgrade if a pod is available, but in summer theyโre usually fully booked, so weโve decided this is the best way to avoid any future confusion.
Weโre very proud of our little Bothy. ๐ก๐ Itโs cosy, comfortable, beautifully finished and offers great-value accommodation in the same lovely Highland location. It will, of course, still be available to book directly through our website.
๐ And just like thatโฆ hello, September!
I was so busy over the summer that our July review post completely passed me by ๐
, so this time we have a bumper collection of July & August reviews to share.
A huge thank you to everyone who stayed with us over the summer and to those who took the time to leave a review. As always, we share them all - the good, the bad and everything in between! Your feedback genuinely means so much to us. ๐
Now itโs time to say goodbye to summer and hello to autumn - beautiful colours, quieter roads, cosy evenings and the perfect weather for relaxing in a private hot tub. ๐๐
