You mention a microwave (always a good idea for travelers who might not want to eat out) but unless you put it underneath in a cupboard, it may look quite crowded. You may consider putting the toaster in a cupboard as well, allowing the guest to bring it out if needed rather than cluttering up the counter. LOVE that there is a kettle (for tea or coffee). Everything turned out so lovely! Have you considered offering prints of your house sign? That was AMAZING and I would buy one even though I live in the states. ❤ (Or maybe a postcard or coaster?) Well done!
Was expecting a very high price. This is pretty reasonable for such a nice location
I'm amazed that you have a way to shut the windows when it rains!! Definitely going to look into that for my tiny cottage!❤
What area do you live in? I've thought about going to Scotland!
George, congratulations on your new Airbnb.... May I make a suggestion, Make a tiny flyer or something there at the Airbnb that shows what the points of interest around the Airbnb. .. like restaurants, walks, lakes....you know things to do.... I wish you all the luck in the world with your Airbnb!. 😊
Oh yes, I love when Airbnb's have a list of recommendations
Yes - a small "you are here" map showing restaurants, gas station, nearby points of interest is incredibly useful.
In addition to places of general interest and the necessities of life, why not add a short history of the house and its name. Some may not be interested, but many will be .... just like those of us who enjoy your vlogs. In addition, once people feel an emotional connection to the house they will automatically take better care of it during their stay. Win! Win! Good luck with your venture. PS: Your mum is correct about the microwave. Mum's are usually right, whether we like to admit it or not.
@@cherylreid9165 That's wonderful... I don't know why I didn't think about that... ☺️
He’d be writing all day! This cottage is in Kinnesswood, right by Loch Leven where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned.
I don't have a microwave either but this is considered very odd. I think you should get a smallish one and it will also mean people will be less likely to mess up your oven, much harder to clean.
I agree.
Gotya, that makes sense.
Thing is, what do you do in a microwave? Unless you have learned how to cook in one, it's mostly just to warm up leftovers. The oven let's you do all kinds of quick, easy stuff that doesn't need a lot of equipment. The perfect thing for a "home away from home". I'd much rather not have a microwave than live without an oven.
@@Volkbrecht Supermarkets have acres of microwaveable ready meals. Someone is buying them!
Very nice.
Yes get the microwave. I think people that are on vacation do very little cooking, mostly just beverages and snacks, but prefer to eat out a lot. It might also help with having less wear & tear on your stove!
I do hope the guests will treat your property with respect. You worked so hard on it and it really turned out beautifully. 😊
The little flies from the potted plants are probably fungus gnats. There are various ways (see online) to address those, but I think you are right in taking your plants out. As for your AirBNB tiny house, do add a small microwave. It is inexpensive and your renters will be grateful.
Yes when you get those bugs only water from bottom. Usually hard get rid of those gnats (their eggs are on top of dirt).
As a horticulturalist, the flies can be remedied by switching out your soil and getting some plant food. The bugs are attracted to plants that are unhealthy and in some form of decline. Swapping out your soil, cleaning your pots (bleach depending on how bad the situation is) and adding a slow release food - follow the directions on the package. A quick fix is to sprinkle cinnamon over the soil. It’s not toxic for you or the plants and the bugs dont like it.
enjoying your channel. Good luck with Airbnb! I’ve hosted, and only had good experiences.
Thanks for the tip :)
What about one part hydrogen peroxide to three parts water on the soil? I’ve had good luck with this on fungus gnats.
For me, yellow stickers really helped. Not sure if there are different kinds of these flies though
'Mosquito Dunks' or 'Mosquito Bits', put them in the water overnight in your watering can, you can them out in the morning and let them dry out to use a few more times. Water your plants thoroughly, making sure to cover the entire surface of the soil. It harms no living things except for destroying mosquitoe and fungus gnat larvae. Use the yellow stickers for plants to catch the adults. Repeat for the next couple waterings to ensure you get all the eggs and larvae.
If you have fungus gnats, you watered your plants too much. Just water a bit less or only bottom water your plants, than your fly problem will improve. Otherwise they will come back even if you switch out the soil
I love when content creators care and share about their fur family members 💖
That ceramic sign is beautiful. Such a good idea making sure there are no problems with the sky light windows. I agree with you that a corner couch would suit your new home. Wishing you the very best with this new endeavor. 💚
It’s looking lovely. I personally rarely use a microwave, however having done Airbnb myself, I think not having one would leave some of your guests bewildered 😅
Thanks for the update. Always loved your tiny house. Yes small microwave would be useful. Nice tribute to your grandmother.
Your creativity and imagination is incredible! I could be having the worst day with my anxiety/depression, watching your videos are an instant way to relax and get a good chuckle! Thank you!
It will be a wonderful refuge for travellers. Well done.
Hi George and Junior. You've been on my mind as of late !! Yes a microwave might be a good addition. Some people might not want to cook outright, but toss a meal in the microwave for a quick meal, and get out the door to enjoy the area. Anything to simplify a clients stay and experience. And maybe some items that might come in handy, (i.e. binoculars, umbrellas, rain slicks) you get the idea. It would behoove you to add those little things (also a full bathroom suite basket with Q-tips, cotton balls, band aids, soap and shampoo etc.) the goal here is to make staying there simple. I've seen this done on a handful of cottage flips here in Canada, where cottages are flipped and put on the rental markets in Cottage Country around Ontario and Quebec. If you add these little things, a little above and beyond other rentals, your location becomes a higher grade of stay and location according to the little perks you add for your guests.
That all makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.
That level of detail is not needed and quite wasteful. Would you really use Q tips in a rental? I wouldn’t.
The binoculars would disappear, even if not intentionally stolen.
@@nicolad8822 Do you watch cottage flip shows in Canada ?? I do. It's the little things that make the difference, but to each their own, I guess I would not rent from you !!
@@jeremy1350No why would I, that’s a bit niche. Renting cottages was a big thing in Britain way before Air BnB, I’ve stayed in plenty and that level of detail is defintely not needed. The place needs to be easy to keep clean and sanitary with a quick turnaround time.
Finally! It fills my hearth with joy to see a video again. I missed watching them on Sunday evening. Nice to see the tiny house on AirBnB. Added it to the list of places to visit 😁
Love the name of your cottage. It looks so very comfy and cozy.
Well done George.
Having cleaned air b&b's and holiday homes, a microwave gets used a lot. The other thing folk use is a coffee machine. Personally a coffee plunger and a milk frother works the best and is the easiest to clean/maintain.
Wishing you the best of outcomes with your endeavours.
you are so lucky to have a healthy helpful dad to help with all that moving and construction!! Seriously, my dad was a god-send, but I lost him younger. Dont forget to appreciate him. Glad its going to be an Airbnb, but I am sure there iss someone that would LOVE to own it too. Once it's shiney new glace isnt sending weirdos to see it. LOL. Much Love your way at Holiday time.
Looks great. What cool window devices! The name of your tiny house is perfect. And yes to a microwave. At least a small one. Guests will appreciate the convenience.
They are so good! Really pleased with them. And yup, I'm definitely getting a microwave haha.
Yes, not seen the window thing - very cool! 😎
Bowersburn Cottage looks great George! All the best with your new venture!
Thank you!
good luck with the bookings and maintenance ❤️ definitely get an 850W microwave, it’s so convenient for reheating meals especially for those who may not want to cook on a stove while they’re away on a break
Lovely build! I’m not a microwave guy either, but they do come in handy for heating up leftover takeout food. So I think Mom is right. ✌️
Good shout, and takeout food is the staple dinner of people on holiday.
🎉 Congratulations! May your new business prosper ❤😊
Thank you!
Congratulations on your move into your new home, George. Wishing you much success with your cottage as an airbnb. ♥ I like the name and the plaque is lovely. ♥♥♥
One way to reduce the house plant flies is to put gravel over the top of the exposed soil. You can get small decorative gravel that works quite well to reduce their numbers, worth doing just for yourself as those flies are annoying.
thanks for the tip
Ah well done and you done all the right things as well for safety, at the end of the day it is your property so you need to keep it safe and the velux rain thingy is great. Microwave and toaster a must, I would however think if you can somehow secure the tv to the wall, as one bump from a kid or adult and bye tv, Good luck my love its all coming together xxxx Dede xxx
Very nice, wishing you much success in your new new home and venture. I agree with your mom. A microwave is a plus in an air-bnb.
Congratulations Patchy new place really looks great . Happy you put 1st house on air B&B , just an fyi all the air B&B , cabins ect Ive ever stayed at , it was required that you the customer bring your own linens, means you bring your own towels, pillows and blankets . I totally get it , much less work for the owner . Im sure your mom doesnt want to be doing endless laundry 😊
Good quality cottages in Britain always include linens. It’s expected.
Looks terrific, definitely get a microwave. Love the house name. Enjoy your new home and Ihope you get lots of rentals.
Your videos always make me feel good because you accomplish so much, and your sneak attack humor. Your speech is so calming, I don’t expect the joke coming. And your jokes are always so absurdly funny, they leave me with a euphoric feeling through the video. Thank you! 😃😄
I feel like visiting the village and staying in your tiny house would be a lovely couple of nights.
I might try to book it for next year. 😊
Thx ☺️
‘Antique Roadshow’ is really important and so is a microwave in a house.
I like the changes you’ve made for potential customers. Fake plants are a godsend 😂
Yes a microwave is a necessity especially for people who are on vacation. To be able to just heat something up in a quick and easy way is paramount.
The house looks great, good luck to you (and your mum)!
I haven't looked it up, so I don't know what the food/supermarket situation is in the village the house is at. I would consider this when you put things in the kitchen, like do they need to cook every day cause there are no restaurants? The pots and pans etc need to fit accordingly.
And then you need to decide, or know, what kind of guests you will host. Like is it outdoorsy people? Just for business in the area? People passing through? Etc. That will also decide the kind of stuff you need in the kitchen (and house).
Most important is how clean the house is. And the stuff in it, especially cutlery and such.
Okay, I had to check the link 😎 (as a family of four, we wouldn't fit your house) and I have one more suggestion: tell the guests what kind of coffee machine you have. I would prefer one of those machines that you put in beans and water and the machine makes you coffee. We've spent some time in a few places and we never knew what kind of coffee machine there will be. And unfortunately, they always had those fancy machines where you have to buy very expensive cups for or a Senseo, which just doesn't make good coffee.
@@s0846856For the size of this place a cafetière would be just fine.
I bet your dad is proud of you. ❤ Good luck with your new business adventure. 🎉
Great photos of your cottage on AirBnB, especially the view across the village to Lock Leven. Good luck with this venture. 😀
Hi George, i think that you need a one big wooden shelf( staring from your top cabinet to the end of the kitchen furniture, and 2 small wooden shelves under the end of the big one. Maybe you can find a colour for these wooden shelves that goes with your floor. Greetings from Romania!
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉.... Thanks for the update!! Thank Goodness no other cats or Jr. was hurt during this filming 😅😅😅...
Thanks for watching! And no no, they're all good. 😸
Yes a microwave oven or toaster oven is a nice-to-have item. I can't remember staying anywhere where i didn't use one and I am sure your quest will like it too.
I bought a small retro style microwave for my tiny kitchen from Amazon. They come in colors instead of the standard black or stainless steel. I bought the cream color and it is very unobtrusive. I wish you all the best on your new venture.
If I ever make it to Scotland, you better believe I'm staying at Bowersburn Cottage! And I'm sure your many subscribers feel the same. Look to be fully booked and stay that way!
Cha-ching, Patchy!! $$$
I love the way you are so careful and thoughtful about your actions. I have just moved into an old house and I am feeling quite overwhelmed that I will have a beautiful house at the end of the day. You reassure me that it is possible. Thank you.
So happy to get another upload from you! You're my new comfort UA-camr/lifestyle inspiration. I really admire how you've turned UA-cam into a career to afford you a simple and comfortable life. The Airbnb will surely be a great additional stream of income, congratulations! And I love that you renamed it to make it special and meaningful to you ❤
Btw, yes to the microwave! I heat up milk for my instant cappuccino every morning, and it's much more convenient than using the stove. Also easier for reheating food, defrosting stuff, etc. so if you ever have guests who want to book the place for longer than a few days, I think it's an important thing to have.
Windows with shades that close automatically? Very kool. Yes on microwave. Does Junior have her own channel yet? Hope so. Thx for the update ❤
The way Junior ran out of that carrier, you'd be convinced George really had put a hit out on her.😸😸 Yes to microwave.
I am not too fond of microwaves but it seems a must have item in most households. So, go for it. As for plants, I had for many years hydro cultured (hydroponic) pot plants with no soil but special pebbles and needed watering once a month. There are UA-cam channels explaining how to maintain these. Fabulous check it out ! Love the name of your tiny home, the rain sensors and wish you great Airbnb success!
AirBnb guests mainly live off pizza and fry ups in my experience but a microwave is always a good option. Definitely a coffee maker of some sort and a few locally produced “welcome goodies” are a nice touch. Best of luck!
Love both your places George.
Probably good to have the microwave a lot of people use them. So just in case it is good to have it. You don’t want someone marking it low because it doesn’t have one. They have small ones you can get
A microwave should be added, because many people choose to cook at home, but with the quick, and easy microwaveable meals. Especially if they plan on staying only a night or two. It saves on meal costs.
It looks so nice! Honestly it looks awesome compared to other similar places nearby
The tiny flies are fungus gnats, you are probably watering a bit too much. Make sure the soil is totally dry before you water again. They thrive in damp soil.
Sometimes they come when it is dry. I like to have plants that love water. I put them in a lot of water for 2 weeks so it kills the flies
Other good advice I have seen/used is to cover plant soil with fish tank gravel and insert unused matches in the soil (head down) as this contributes to killing of the gnat eggs.
Hey, love the rugs, I think the house looks gorgeous. Wish I could come and stay for a month with my kitty. Best wishes love to you and Jr. ❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸
Beautiful place still! Hope it does well on Airbnb! :)
It looks so lovely! And very reasonable in price. I think you defo need to offer a microwave, just a basic one. Sometimes I make something in advance for our first night, maybe a stew or a spag bol. I freeze it and transport in my cool bag with other cold food. It often won't have defrosted by the time I get to my destination, so a microwave is handy. Also, if you don't have huge choice of places to eat in your village, your guests may not always want to drive to eat out.
Looks great George! How considerate of you to think of all those details for your guests, praying you get the best guests, and that this adventure pays off. Best of luck.
So glad to hear there's no contract out on Jr. Hope your air BB is a success and that you and Jr. have wonderful life in the new home. ❤
I don't have a microwave, either. For the tiny bugs, I put out a small lidded glass jar, with very small holes nailed through the lid, with a little vinegar inside. Leave it near the plant and the jar will catch the bugs. Loved seeing Junior's little hop into your parents' house, super cute. Best of luck in your venture!
Definitely a microwave. Most handy on holiday when you don't want to do much cooking, so quick and simple things easily warmed up are much appreciated. And it saves on cleaning up, as well as allowing for a hot cup of cocoa at bedtime without a pot to wash, or a warm up of your cup of tea when you let it cool off, distracted by UA-cam videos. Nice job on your wee but n ben! 👏😊👍
4:13 Omg that’s a nice setup. It should be installed on more windows.
It's lovely and your Mom is correct. You need a microwave or your Mom will be getting phone calls asking about where you keep it. I suggest the smallest one you can find that will fit a dinner plate inside. Or one you can attach to the underside of the cabinet.
The Vellux shades and window closing device is genius. I hope that put your mind at ease.
I think you should charge more but you know better what the cost should be for your area.
Good luck and pat Junior for me.
i really love your house as that's when I discovered you channel! Would love to stay in your Airbnb one day!
The house looks great! I, personally, would find the cat hair comforting as I have 2 of the little monsters myself. But I think you were smart to think of non-cat people. 👍
If I’m ever in your area I would love to stay at your tiny ABnB home. It looks so cozy.
I love your little cottage! I hope it's wildly successful.
Love the houses name, very sweet. From an American perspective.... Microwave while on vaca is probably necessary but it doesn't have to be a big one... just to reheat leftovers or a cup of water. While I own a kettle most Americans don't. If you think you'll get a lot of us from the US then a small coffee pot or Keurig type machine might be good.... again not something I use but everyone I know has some type of coffee set up.... even just a French press would be nice. I think the price sound reasonable and fair, good luck and I hope it's a great success!
Very nice! I would add a microwave. It can be the smallest one available, but it's so handy.
Morning George, That's a nice touch naming your house after your grans.
I would say, yes to a small microwave, it would be handy come winter, heating up the odd haggis pie.
I totally get your worry over the windows, im always saying to the husband, have you shut that window.
The hills etc outside look stunning, I bet you have already got bookings.
Good luck George, cheers Millysue
Lovely video, and I can only hope one day to visit and stay in your lovely tiny house. It looks amazing, and your price is very good. As for the microwave, we couldn't live without one, especially on holiday.
The most important thing in an Airbnb for me is the cleanliness. The pictures are awsome on the website but sometimes you arrive to the place and it smells bad in the shower. Also, I stayed in one place and the sofa had a hole in it. No one mentionned it before the stay. So I worried about it because I didn't want the owner to think it is my fault.
I had those exact rain sensor velux windows and can confirm, as I lived in rainy Cumbria at the time, they worked like a charm!! Also, if any of it stops working, replacing the control battery is the first (and usually only) port of call for fixing it!
Wow, George! Oh how I wish I could stay at your bnb! But, I live so far away, in Cali, USA, and have never been off this continent. Kudos to you, my friend, and wishing you all the luck in the world! Give your sweet kitty a snuggle for me! TFS! Lil hugs xo
Yay George! Definitely visiting the Patchy tiny house on my way through Scotland 🥰 I would’ve checked on your plants for you! What a lovely story behind the name. I think a small microwave would be a nice addition, I use mine a lot lol.
Well you'll be more than welcome! You can make a special request for me to drop off a succulent for you to take care of during your stay. And everyone has sort of sold me on the microwave... will be buying one tomorrow I think. 😅
@@Patchy 😂♥️🪴🙌🏻! I’m looking forward to it! Now if only I could request a kind Scottish grandmother to welcome me into her kitchen for the day to teach me how to make shortbread the correct way, I will be all set! 😅😁
Good Luck with everything, George. 👍
Yes, on the microwave, a breakfast station has become popular lately. I would also scotch guard spray all the cushions, accent pillows and fabric that might get stains. Leaving a few local or regional magazines highlighting the local interests is a nice touch. A front door mat for both outside and inside if you don't already have that covered, it will help considerably with keeping your flooring nice long-term.
Congrats to you & your mum on getting on Airbnb! And yes to the microwave, please. (I'll make it there one day...)
Congratulations on taking that next big step to airbnb!! 👏👏👏
Congrats, so young and already with a business of your own, wishing the best ❤.
I think it turned out amazing! All the details, the forethought you put into everything. I hope it is a money maker for you. Can not wait for more updates on the new house, and Joonya of course. 😄❤ Much love and respect from Florida USA
Wonderful :)
I would probably suggest to try to anchor the TV, either to the wall, or to the cabinet below it... not because of stealing, but it looks a bit unstable and easy to overturn when passing nearby (talking from the point of view of a very clumsy person... I once closed a jar with jam without noticing a part of my sleeve got "locked" into it and I almost killed myself when I raised up my arm to fix my hair :D I suppose I'm not the only one this much gifted :D )
😂😂😂
I really love the name of your Airbnb and the nice plaque with it’s namesake in the front. Looks beautiful!
I have no suggestions. The price is good - and would be a lovely place to stay!
Thanks Sherry!
I enjoyed watching your videos of when you first renovated the tiny house, and this one as well. I love your narration. Some of the things you say are so hilarious, and I can't help but laugh out loud. Thank you for that. You're adorable!
Canadian here. I bought my first microwave in 1984 and have had one in the kitchen of all the places I've lived in since. I do a lot of traveling throughout North America and microwaves are everywhere. If your potential clients are from North America, a microwave is almost an essential.
Travellers from anywhere would expect a microwave
Congratulations George! Your rehab of the tiny house was fun to watch. And now you are a small businessman, dealing with the public. Many wishes for you and your mom for a successful future!
Man, every time I watch any of your videos, I really just want to uproot my life and go live in a small cottage town 😂
Looks great! I think I'd be a bit surprised if a place I stayed didn't have a microwave so I'd consider adding one. Doesn't need to be anything fancy just a cheap one, and you could perhaps shove it in one of the cupboards so people can get it out if they need to use it but it doesn't clutter your kitchen.
Looks great! Yes, if there is room, a microwave would be great (perhaps under the cabinet?)
Airbnb gives me pause in life but good luck to you and the Tiny House.
How exciting for you! Hope it’s wildly successful. I’d be there in a minute if I didn’t have so much expensive Reno facing me at home and cutting into travel funds.
Don't mind me just admiring the scenery surrounding you in the background.
I am kinda blessed with the surroundings!
@@Patchy take a look at my cover photo on here reminds me of the scenery I'm surrounded by in USA. I'm an admirer of good scenery just makes me happy.
Wonderful!
For the flyproblem. You can buy packs of suuuper tiny insects, who kill the root of the problem. The babys in the soil. I also had a big problem with this. But after 3 uses i'm now fly free for a whole year :D.
Your tiny house makes me want to visit Scotland. My mothers mother was a MacGregor. Maybe one of these days!
I've seen some other UA-camrs that keep a lot of plants say that it's necessary to change the soil/repot every so often to prevent those flies you mentioned from appearing or coming back in their own plants. Maybe that can help you too? I'm a total plant noob so I could be wrong, but it's a random piece of info that's always stuck with me lol!
The place looks amazing! I personally would use a microwave at an air bnb but would say its not a make or break - also would be great if somewhere down the line you could make it so the minimum number of nights is 1 or 2 rather than 3 as this I feel like would be a great place as a stop off area for a bike packing trip!
That’s a lot of cleaning.
Well done, another interesting video. The cottage plaque is beautiful and a lovely tribute to your Gran.
I may see you this Summer! Nicely done!
I think having a microwave is a good idea. Especially for those who want a quick meal or warm up their leftovers from a restaurant. Man, I would love to visit Scotland and stay at your airbnb. Best and continue success George.👊👍
Your sense of humour is coming through wonderfully in this video.
Very enjoyable.
Your rates are very reasonable too.
Love the attention to detail you show for your houses and your videos. Personally I find it important that bedroom curtains/blinds provide a complete black-out, as I like it completely dark. This is not always easy to find on airbnb and also that information is often missing in the description.
