My “competition”, another village B&B a few houses away, has closed down recently. For the sake of sanity (she’s a most unpleasant, bullying individual…) we only listed with Airbnb and TripAdvisor, not BDC as that was her bailiwick, and jealously guarded. It was bad enough that we existed in the first place, although our offering is very, very different to hers.
We are now going to list with BDC as winter sets in instead, in the hope of more bookings from people working in the area. She used to get a lot of staff from English Heritage and The National Trust monitoring the various castles hereabouts.
Yes, a misunderstanding, but an odd one. I just hope the info helps others.
