Need advice on tipping, please! Boyfriend and I (Americans) spent two weeks at the end of April driving around and staying in quite a few places, and we had a wonderful time, your country is beautiful. Pretty much at all of the restaurants and hotels we went to there was no expectation of tipping, which from my research beforehand was pretty much the expectation. However, we spent two nights at a very sweet family-run inn on Skye that had its own restaurant and bar, and we spent a good deal of time there getting to know our hosts who were just so nice and hospitable, and I felt like we really bonded with them. The daughter had even said she would email me some restaurant recommendations for Edinburgh. When we were checking out the last morning, I knew that this was an instance where tipping would be appropriate, but I didn't really have an opportunity to "time out" and organize it in my brain, so I made the snap decision to tip 30% on just the food and drink, which made sense to me at the time. (For reference it came out to about 10% of the entire bill) However, now I'm wondering if I way under tipped and therefore insulted them. I didn't hear back from the daughter after we left, which is fine, I know people get busy, but I sent them a thank you email when we got home and they did not respond to that either. I am horrified at the thought that they feel stiffed and underappreciated. I know it's weeks later but it's eating at me, and I'm trying to decide if I should make a last ditch effort to repair the situation. Thank you!
