Full Licence Number: HI-60037-F

October 2021

It has been a while since the last update- it's because we have been incredibly busy with Betula over the summer! 

Since reopening after the second lockdown we have been fully booked until early November. What a summer it was, thanks to all of you for your staycations in amazing Scotland!

​

We have very few availabilities in November this year and the calendar is slowly filling for 2022. So don't wait and book your favourite time of year with us. We can't wait to welcome you and share this beautiful part of the world with you.

With summer in full swing we have now a BBQ available and you can set your breakfast, lunch or dinner table outside on the deck. How about that?

Covid-19 UPDATE

​

The Coronavirus outbreak has big implications on everyone's life. Unfortunately it meant that we had to close the Chalet mid-March. 

However, here at Betula we try our very best to deal with the situation and make your stay as safe as possible. During Phase 3 of the route-map out of lockdown in Scotland we were be able to re-open and could welcome guests again on July 15th.

​

To make your stay safe we introduced a few measures 

- a keybox is in place, hence there is no need for any interaction between guests and hosts

- we extended your change-over period between guests; this will give us more time to clean/disinfect and we follow the CDC recommendation for the hospitality sector 

- we introduced an advanced cleaning protocol according to the Scottish Self-catering Association and we signed up and implemented the Airbnb 'commitment to clean'

- cleaning products and other hygiene articles are available to guests at all times

Summer 2020

a touch of luxury arrived at Betula with the introduction of the amazing and local products by "The Highland Soap Company"!

And if local and organic is not already good enough: we refill all bottles to reduce plastic waste.
