I’m proud to be a small part of the Great Scottish Holidays campaign. A heartfelt thank you to all of my guests. In the words of the campaign, this is why it means so much that you opted to stay in my lodge….
A thank you to the guests who choose to stay in self-catering accommodation and in doing so, make a real difference to the places they visit.
Because that choice matters.
When guests book a self-catering stay, they are not just choosing where to sleep. They are supporting a much wider network of local businesses – from cafés and restaurants to shops, activity providers and visitor attractions. Together, these businesses help sustain rural, coastal and urban communities right across Scotland.
Self-catering businesses themselves are typically small, independent micro-enterprises. They form a vital part of Scotland’s tourism bedstock – particularly in areas where other accommodation options may be limited. Their presence helps ensure visitors can stay, explore and contribute to local economies year-round.
At the same time, self-catering relies on those same communities to thrive. The quality of the local experience – the places to eat, visit and enjoy – is what makes a stay memorable. It is a shared ecosystem, where each part depends on the others.
