    “Great Night Away”
    Reviewed 18 January 2015 for a stay in January 2015

    We had a great nights stay at the bothy. It was a perfect night spent relaxed in front of the TV with a wood burning stove to keep us cosy. The breakfast served the next day was lovely and a good end to the stay. I would defiantly recommend the bothy to others

    Reviewed 14 December 2014 for a stay in December 2014

    amazing night spent by a big log burner watching xmas films in a very comfy sofa, what more to ask for on a winters night. Ashley and Simon are perfect hosts and make a fabulous breakfast which was served in a the conservatory with stunning views.

    “Thoroughly Enjoyable Stay”
    Reviewed 26 November 2014 for a stay in November 2014

    We recently visited The Bothy, having won a stay on the Wedding Spot. This is a perfect place to stay for a relaxing break, the log burner is excellent for the cold winter nights. The Bothy is very comfortable and up to a very high standard, the breakfast in the morning was great and was arranged to suit us. The welcome we received from the owners Ashely and Simon was excellent they couldn't be more friendly and helpful.
    We would gladly come back to stay here, the place was so good.
    Good luck for the future.

    Karen and Andrew
