Why are small self-catering businesses quitting Airbnb...? 🌿

The Big Shift 🏡
Many independent hosts are leaving mass booking platforms due to rising service fees, hidden guest charges, and rigid booking rules.

What about us here at The Green House Cabin?
We’re keeping our Airbnb listing so new guests can discover us...
BUT there is a much better way to book your stay! ✨
Why Booking Direct Wins 💚

💰 Cheaper Rates: Save on expensive platform fees.

☕ Personal Touch: Tailored stays & direct chat with us.

🔑 Flexibility: Easy tweaks without automated bots.

Sustainability isn't just a word we use — it's built into how The Green House runs day to day.
Did you know that we have a Gold Green Tourism Award?
We have incorporated lots of features to be as green as possible.
Bird feeders, wildflowers, eco friendly toiletries, recycling facilities and rainwater harvesting to mention just a few; small choices, but they add up — and they're part of why guests keep coming back. 🌱

🌟 Double Finalists... Again! 🌟
We have some incredibly exciting news to share! The Green House has been shortlisted for both the Best Self-Catering and the Climate Action Award at this year’s South of Scotland Thistle Awards Regional Finals! 🏆✨

Reaching the finals in both categories last year was amazing, but being shortlisted for the second year running is hugely validating.

"I entered again this year to show that sustainability and warm hospitality can genuinely go hand in hand. This recognition tells me that the small, everyday choices behind The Green House really do matter."

A massive thank you to all of our wonderful guests and supporters who appreciate what we do. We love providing a cozy, unforgettable stay that’s as kind to the planet as it is to our guests. 🌿💚

Congratulations to all who have made the finals.
