We had a lovely week staying at The Bothy. The cottage is immaculate inside and conveniently located for getting into Edinburgh, Glasgow and other attractions such Falls of Clyde, Dumfries House, etc. The cottage owners Charles and Catherine were excellent hosts and gave a tour around the farm. A thorough recommendation from the two of us of The Bothy to stay. If ever we come back this way we will be checking to see if it is available. Lyn and Michael Bell
