Brilliant website

Since marketing my holiday property on Best Scottish Cottages a year ago I have had a constant stream of booking enquiries. As a property owner my listing on the website is very easy for me to operate; the ability to add special offers is particularly helpful, and I am also able to show an availability calendar which I can update myself. Where there have been technical glitches Alasdair is very quick to sort them.

Best Scottish Cottages really is a brilliant way for anyone who wishes to take direct bookings to market their property, and remarkable value for the publicity gained. My only regret is that I didn't join them earlier!

Outstanding alternative to OTAs – Just renewed for Year 3

We’ve used Best Scottish Cottages for 2 years to promote our holiday home (20A Kirkibost) on the Isle of Lewis, and the results are impressive.

It is very cost-effective compared to high-commission OTAs. If you take the time to tailor your listing to your target market and utilise their - competitively priced - add-on services (like their targeted mailshots), it pays for itself pretty quickly. We also regularly receive high-quality "matched enquiries" that keep our pipeline busy.

With great support and a direct-booking model, we have found the ROI is much better than similar alternatives. We've just happily renewed for another year!

We've had a really positive experience…

We've had a really positive experience using Best Scottish Cottages to advertise Gardeners Cottage. They're a small and helpful team who provide useful stats to ensure that we are getting a good number of views, enquiries and bookings and ensuring that we are getting a good ROI.

We have used Best Scottish Cottages to market the Old Salmon Bothy

We have used Best Scottish Cottages to advertise the Old Salmon Bothy since 2022. We have found the website to be well presented and easy to use. Customer back up is excellent and very supportive. We have seen a significant increased in customer interest and bookings since 2022 and I can highly recommend the service.

Highly recommend

We were one of the first to be invited to advertise with Best Scottish Cottages when, in its early years it was called Best 100 Cottages in Scotland and we have stayed with them ever since. Always found the website to be nicely presented and we have had a fair number of bookings through them over the years. Can highly recommend to anyone considering advertising their holiday cottages.

Great Company - Diligent and Hardworking

We have rented out our cottage with Best Scottish Cottages for the last 4 years. They are a great company, really supportive and helpful. Their communications throughout the COVID period were a god-send, and more recently their explanations of the new regulations have been excellent. They pay close attention to detail and made us feel like valued individuals - outstanding service.

Excellent platform with good property owner backup

Alasdair has driven Best Scottish Cottages onwards and upwards since fully taking the business over last year. Best Scottish Cottages has always produced consistently high levels of traffic to both my properties websites. New website design matched with Alasdair's high level SEO specialism has seen a marked increase in traffic and conversion to direct booking. Customer backup is faultless and we feel very supported with Best Scottish Cottages. Highly recommended.

Just a shop window - no feedback possible

Saw and booked a holiday cottage via this website, which contains some unique and luxurious properties. Unfortunately the one I picked was very average. BSC do admit (in the small print) that they
are just an advertising site, and all arrangements are handled by the property owners. But there is no way to leave a review on the site. Emails I sent were rejected. And I couldn't find a contact phone number. Just think people should be made aware.
