Torrdarach
Torrdarach House is an Edwardian style property that was built in 1901 as the summer residence for Mr William Briggs. The house has since changed to a contemporary Bed & Breakfast offering luxury accommodation. We have 7 En-suite bedrooms ranging from Standard Double Rooms to Superior Double rooms. Torrdarach House is fully licensed to serve alcohol in the guest lounge or gardens. The property is situated only 2 minutes away from the town center.
Hi there,
I am the owner of Torrdarach House B&B in Pitlochry, Scotland.
The photo that I am sharing is of one of our resident Red Squirrels that live in the woodland garden. Our guests can enjoy breakfast whilst watching some of the wildlife that come in to our garden like the Roe Deer, Red Squirrels, Pheasants, Ducks & over 30 varieties of garden bird.
Hi there,
I am Graeme and I run a B&B in the Highlands of Scotland.
I am hoping to pick up some tips on running the business and creating more bookings etc
Hi there,
We are finding the Extranet homepage very confusing regarding: Most recently booked & todays arrivals etc. Why can we not have a better overview of our business?
Sorry for the rant but we think that the BDC Extranet Homepage has been better!
Hi there,
We have mainly (mainland) europeans during the season. In Scotland we get Germans, French, Dutch and some British guests. The odd American or Canadian and some Australians.
We don't get many families in Scotland and when we do it is more the older generations than the younger ones.
Best regards from Pitlochry, Scotland
I know the following may sound a little negative but I always tell the truth. I often say things that other people are thinking and who are too scared to say.
I would have liked to have known just how little respect guests have for other peoples property!
I would have liked to have known how much people eat at breakfast times so that they don't need to buy lunch!
I would have liked to have known how cheap some people can be!
I would like to have known how disgusting some people are, like *** in the shower that we experience at least twice a year!
If I would have known then what I know now then I would have invested a lot less in to the property and instead of 4 star "Gold" I would have aimed at a maximum of 3 star!
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of people that I have become friends with and we have a lot of returning guests. There are some people that book, turn up, pay and leave again which is also fine. It is the handful of nasty people that really gets to me.
Who else is willing to speak the truth! :-)
Hi All,
As a small business I find it difficult to get my head around the Genius Program being beneficial.
Offering 10% off your room rate to the guest.
Paying BDC commission of a minimum 15%
Thats 25% of my room price gone before I even start deducting the normal running costs.
Hey guys,
Does anybody else believe that Booking.com should let us design our own offers and deals. All you can do on BDC opportunitys is offer discounts in the form of a percentage.
It would be fantastic if BDC would let people explain their amenities instead of using these terrible drop down choices where half of the options that we have are missing. Please BDC listen to what people are writing on this Forum and offer them a solution!
