What a fabulously decorated accommodation in a beautiful setting! The Bothy is fitted out with top quality fittings, a wonderful shower and the largest, most comfortable bed and a comfy lounge area. Would be lovely in the Summer to sit out on the patio with the firepit burning and the amazing views.

Really lovely cottage for 2 people. Unfortunately, we werent able to use the patio area at the front, due to the weather, but it would be lovely to sit out and enjoy the peace and quiet. Very handy for getting to places too as its in a good area for sightseeing as well as lovely nature reserves.

Beautifully decorated property and lovely and clean. Well equipped with everything we needed and very comfortable. Loved the enclosed patio where we could relax without worrying about the dog running off. Owners were always around and about and offering help (not that we needed anything). Would definitely recommend.
