Marketing that fills your luxury stay

Bespoke Social Media Services for premium stays

We’re Bothy Eleven Marketing, we help premium stays stop losing 15–18% in commission to Airbnb and other OTA’s, build their own demand, and turn social media into direct bookings.

What We Do

You’ve built a beautiful stay.
You care about the guest experience.
You’ve invested time, money, and energy into getting it all right.

But right now…

  • You’re losing 15-30% of every booking to Airbnb & Booking.com

  • You’re relying on platforms you don’t control to fill your calendar

  • You know social media matters - but you don’t have the time, strategy, or desire to run it properly.

And even if bookings are coming in…
You know they could be more profitable, more consistent, and fully yours.

That’s where we help…

  • Real Estate Social Media Journey

    We partnered with Rettie & Co over a 6-month period to deliver a full-scale social media uplift across strategy, training, and execution.

    Our work spanned everything from overarching platform strategy to on-site training with branch teams, alongside hands-on management of selected social accounts.

    We worked across multiple brand accounts on Instagram and TikTok, aligning messaging, improving content quality, and building confidence in organic social media at a local level.

    Within just 30 days of implementation, visibility surged and performance accelerated across both TikTok and Instagram:

    TikTok Performance

    • 114.5K views(+7,533%)

    • 126K views on top-performing post (+425%)

    • 3,525 profile views(+0.77%)

    Instagram Performance

    • 20.2K views(+1,918%)

    • 136.1K dashboard views(+78%)

    • Post views up +35%

    • Follower growth up to +14.8%

    All profiles experienced steady, sustained follower growth, with clear increases in reach, engagement, and profile actions - demonstrating the impact of a joined-up strategy that combines training, structure, and high-performing organic content.

  • I grew my own personal brand from 0 to 19.5K engaged followers completely organically in 24 months.

    Recently over a period of 3 months, we turned consistent content into millions of eyes:

    • Viral carousel = 2.5 million views

    • Reels hit 525K and 133K views

    • Over 3 million dashboard views total

    • Digital product launch sale soared

    Proof that intentional storytelling = exponential reach.

    I use the skills I learn from growing my own page on my client pages everyday. It works hand in hand.

  • We continue to work with Kinlochewe Lodges, as a long term client, delivering a consistent, authentic, emotional & storytelling led, social media strategy focused on increasing visibility, building brand trust, and driving direct bookings - without relying on paid ads.

    Results:

    • 50% booking increase from 2024 to 2025

    • 100’s of direct website bookings across 3 lodges in Scottish Highlands

    Significant month on month growth in organic traffic and conversions

    Viral content traction:

    • 554K views

    • 134K views

    • 125K views

    By combining SEO informed content, consistent posting, and platform native storytelling, we transformed social media into a reliable demand engine - increasing visibility, building trust at scale, and delivering measurable direct revenue for the business.

  • We work with Cabins & Cottages in Scotland as a long-term client to grow visibility, engagement, and direct booking demand through strategic organic social media content.

    Throughout Q1 2026, social media continued to play a key role in driving awareness, website traffic, and direct bookings across Instagram and TikTok. Through emotionally led storytelling, immersive walkthrough content, and platform-native creative, the strategy successfully attracted a high-intent audience actively searching for countryside escapes and short-stay accommodation.

    Across Instagram and TikTok combined, social media generated:

    • 331.8K+ combined views across both platforms

    • 10.9K+ combined followers

    • Strong audience growth across both channels

    • Multiple viral videos including:

      • 327K views

      • 83K views

      • 11K views

    • 45 attributed bookings directly influenced through social media activity

    The strategy also contributed to measurable business growth beyond vanity metrics:

    • 18% revenue increase from April 2025 to April 2026

    • 60% revenue increase for one cottage

    • Increased direct website bookings through social-driven demand

    • Stronger booking intent from a predominantly UK-based audience

    The result is a fast-growing social presence that not only increases visibility, but actively converts attention into direct website bookings and meaningful commercial impact.

“Annabel has been instrumental to the growth of our business since the launch of our social media channels. Before, we had no online presence at all, no website no social media not even a pin on google, now the online efforts have seen a 50% increase in new bookings for all 3 of our lodges in the North West Highlands.

By driving direct bookings, she has significantly boosted revenue and given us greater control.
