The Bothy is very clean and comfortable but quite small and expensive.Beds very comfy, kitchen adequately equipped. There were some maintenance issues... tv did not work and not fixed by the owners whilst we were there.

We arrived and unpacked, then went to wash our hands NO hand soap anywhere in the property. We have never had to bring our own hand soap to any holiday destination - really poor start. Property comfortable just not a great amount of room in the kitchen. There was no 'hot' water, shower was luke warm and washing up was not easy, which we had to do often as there was only one set per person (4 people) granted there was 2 of us but one coffee and one tea and that was it. We only stayed for a long weekend, but that was enough.
