A beautifully renovated building the perfect location for peace and quiet. Very well equipped and very comfortable. If you were going to choose a âbolt-holeâ and build it to a perfect specification this would be it!

Isolated amongst fields. The Brothy was well maintained with good quality amenities. Loved the hot tub. Really recommend for anyone wanting a quiet time to relax.

The location is second to none, both in good and bad weather - with dry moments presenting the opportunity to enjoy the surroundings whilst in colder, wet weather, the log-burner turns the Bothy into a lovely cozy space to watch the weather from. We will most certainly be back.
