We are featuring the cottages as part of the "Brigadoon Estate" but for your self catering operation we can offer a bijou site specifically designed for self catering and small, independent accommodation providers - visit the site here

As well as a clean design your website also needs to be able to take low cost DIRECT bookings and it is a given that you should be pushing the message Book Scotland Direct. We can install your current booking engine easily or recommend various options that will work for your property depending on your type of accommodation.
It is essential that even the smallest provider is able to offer real time direct bookings and with such a simple low cost options such as provided by SuperControl or Freetobook that is easily in reach.
You should be promoting the Book Direct message at every point that you can!
The Brigadoon Cottage is only available to book directly from our own website and nowhere else. Booking direct means that we can provide our guests with the best price, maximum availability and stay in contact with you easier before and after your visit.

The Brigadoon Cottage is the self catering property we would all love to own but mythical hotels that open one day in every 36,500 don't produce revenues needed. The current situation has highlighted the high fixed costs of running a hospitality operation in Scotland and perhaps has focussed the mind a little on what we can do to take back control of our own businesses post COVID-19. Plan B Digital have been building hospitality website since 1997 and we think that we do it as well as anyone and with a little more thought and creativity than most.
Right now thought, we all know that the challenge is to maximise revenues, reduce our costs and improve the direct business to our bottom line.
It is going to be neither simple nor straightforward. We are all having to think like a start up; we are going to have to throw out previous practices that are no longer relevant. Fundamentally, we are all going to have to accept that there is no way but the hard way and we are going to have to get used to it.
This site is a novel idea but one we should have implemented ten years ago but here we are in 2020 and we have acquired a mythical property in almost mythical economic times in a legendary country - in many ways this is an allegory of every hospitality business in Scotland.
The Cottage at Brigadoon is, we think, the very minimum that your self catering property should be doing on line. You can do an awful lot more and we can help you grow into that larger digital presence but for the meantime we think this structure will work for many and provide a growing source of direct bookings as the recovery kicks in. We'd love to help you on the journey.
