Now that's something you don't see every day

Yes, not one but two computer screens in the front office at Clachaig! And yes, you would have said now that's something you don't see every day. But not any longer. All change. You'd better get used to it.


We've just spent the last 2 and a half days installing a brand new Property Management System here at Clachaig. Its been a fairly intensive couple of days. Firstly came the computer with all its settings and set up, plus network wiring. And then the software installation. But all of that was a doddle compared to actually working out how it works! My head now hurts. A lot! And so do my eyes.

We're busy transferring all the bookings currently held across from the oversized reservation books to the computerised system. I don't think we'll have it all done in time to throw the old books on the bonfire tonight, but maybe we'll still have a ceremonial burning of the books to mark the point at which we joined the 21st century.

And apart from 'computer says no' (cough) being a more common response to your enquiries, what else is there to expect from this quantum leap forward? Well, online booking is just a week or two away now. Give us a chance to get on top of things and we'll have real time online room booking before you can say, 'do you have any availability at Hogmanay, per chance'. (The answer is sorry, no.)
