“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, it pays for itself pretty quickly. With great support and a direct-booking model, the ROI is much better than similar alternatives.”
