Pioneering ‘boutique on a budget’, Co-founders Roxane Gergaud and Richard Dana have travelled the world, bringing together a compendium of their favourite independent properties – all for around £100 per night – and each with their own unique charm, character and that little something special.
With the nights drawing in and winter on the horizon, now is the time to escape. Be it a European city break, a blissful beachside fortnight in South East Asia or getting off the beaten track on a South American adventure, the newly-launched Doris & Dicky offers a carefully-curated collection of 500 handpicked hotels, which won’t break the bank.
Pioneering ‘boutique on a budget’, Co-founders Roxane Gergaud and Richard Dana have travelled the world, bringing together a compendium of their favourite independent properties – all for around £100 per night – and each with their own unique charm, character and that little something special. Without a soulless ‘chain hotel’ in sight, Doris & Dicky offer some truly unusual bespoke properties – think B&Bs nestled in ancient Turkish caves, stylish Mexican beachside shacks, historic riads hidden down winding Moroccan streets or simply the best-value beds in the heart of Paris.
The idea for Doris & Dicky came to fruition while founding couple, Roxane and Richard were sitting on a beach in Sri Lanka. Seasoned and discerning travellers, they noticed a gap in the market for a website offering cheap – yet chic – properties, both at home and abroad. Keen to make their mark in a competitive online travel market, Doris & Dicky have burst onto the scene with a clean, simple and beautifully-designed website that offers a snapshot of each property, as well as a brilliant blog offering top tips on ‘Best Time To Go’ and Doris & Dicky’s favourite finds, from Penzance to Phuket.
Commenting on the launch of Doris & Dicky, Founders Roxane Gergaud and Richard Dana said: “Tired of trawling through long lists of hotel search results or finding great places that we just couldn’t afford, we decided there was a need for a site offering a curated collection of interesting, small and charming budget boutique hotels. And so, sitting on a beach in Sri Lanka, the idea for Doris & Dicky began.”
Reassuringly, all properties on Doris & Dicky have been carefully selected and thoroughly reviewed (anonymously) by the team. No one can pay to be part of the portfolio so you can be sure that each and every B&B and hotel has been chosen on merit. Likewise, Doris & Dicky promise unbeatable value, offering a best price guarantee meaning that – if you do find a cheaper rate elsewhere – they’ll refund the difference.
With flexible booking offered across the majority of the hotels in the collection, guests can book now and pay nothing until checkout. Many of the hotels also offer a full refund for cancellations, without an additional fee. Doris & Dicky offers full protection on payments with a safe and secure booking engine leaving you free to plan your great escape…
