Very high quality furnished renovated Bothy that was warm, cosy and easy to relax in. The walls are thick, so you hear hardly any noise from the working farm or roads. The hosts Charles and Catherine are lovely, friendly and very helpful with any queries and issues we had (mainly our car, not the Bothy!) You do need your car to get out to places, but found things within 45 minutes or less that were worth the trip, not too far to drive. Definitely worth a visit, enjoyed a relaxing break 😊

We had a very enjoyable week at The Bothy, very clean & well equipped. The hosts, Catherine & Charles were friendly & very helpful. Ideal location for visiting Edinburgh & Glasgow – we, however, didn’t do that as we wanted a totally chilled holiday – which we achieved 😊. Look forward to returning

Lovely place to stay with very friendly and helpful hosts. Easy to get to Edinburgh or Glasgow. We spent the long weekend walking, lots of local options. the Falls of Clyde were particularly nice. Would gladly go back again in the future
