An absolute gem! We absolutely loved our stay in this little gem! The bothy is situated in an area of outstanding beauty where you will find total peace and tranquility. Despite being on a farm we didnt hear any noise. The owner was great, making sure we had everything we needed. The underfloor heating and log burner made it extremely cozy. Perfect little retreat that we will definitely return to. Nothing.
