A hotel blog to be enjoyed away from a naked flame
November 12, 2007
It is more than two and a half years since I helped the Isle of Eriska set up a blog (c’mon Beppo, time for a blog make-over) but it still provides a breath of fresh air among my daily reads.The hotel may be one of the smartest and most expensive in Scotland but it has always had a gung-ho, family-run feel to it and Beppo’s posts read like the polar opposite of the carefully crafted five star hotel press release.For example, when last did the general manager of your local Starwood Resort go through this sort of ordeal?
Then sheer panic as I realised the oil was rushing to the boiler house but that I had not yet reconnected the fuel hose so a sprint to the boiler house and before I could avert disaster the fuel was flowing so I grabbed the nearest recepticle- a welly boot- and let it flow
Some people might be put off a visiting a hotel where the manager resorts to filling wellington boots with runaway fuel but a bit of eccentricity is part of Eriska’s USP and most people love it.
