Amazing stay at the Bothy. Catherine and Charles were amazing hosts and nothing was ever too much trouble. They gave us a tour of the farm and me and my partner learnt a lot about farming.We enjoyed it that much we’ve booked again for October.

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 😊
