We had a lovely stay at The Bothy! The hosts were super friendly and made us feel really welcome. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed, including a comfy bed and a stunning view.

The cake in the welcome pack was delicious-highly recommend!

We've stayed here a few times now and always leave feeling relaxed. It really feels like a home away from home - super comfy, peacefuland quiet. The location's perfect for exploring nearby shops, eateriesand sights. The hot tub is a real treat, private and great for stargazing if the weather's clear.

The Bothy is a wonderful property. Set in spacious grounds it is decorated & fitted to a high standard. All appliances are of a high standard & the furnishings are all most comfortable. The hot tub is a lovely added bonus where you can relax and check out a rather magnificent view. Theres plenty of good walking nearby.
Lucy
Super clean and comfy! The hot tub was kept pristine and a brilliant addition...even when it was raining! The bothy is way bigger than it appears in the photos. It's also really dog friendly with plenty of space for them to let off some steam. The owners were very friendly too.
Rachel
The cottage was absolutely lovely. It had everything you could need. Very clean and comfortable too. The welcome pack was nice. The hosts were really accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We received free-range farm eggs from the hens, homemade lemon drizzle cake on arrival, wood for the fireand a torch to help us find our way to the amazing hot tub. They even supplied robes and slippers. Our dogs adored all the walksand we enjoyed the dog-friendly pubs and cafes nearby. Definitely recommend! Thanks a lot.
