"We loved our stay in this Bothy."
It was so warm and well equipped. As our stay was only adults, filling the daytimes with outdoor activities. We would have preferred a comfy little sofa and a larger tv to relax in the sitting room. The table was pointless for adults as not enough room. The breakfast bar and stalls were a great addition to the kitchen. The cooking ring was so fast, loved it and the combination microwave was great, all really easy to clean. As we had dogs, a little fence just securing the tarmac yard with a gate would have been great to just let the dogs & us relax a bit more with back door open to enjoy the beautiful view. All that said we had a fantastic stay, thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your helpful feedback and we’re so pleased you had a good stay! The eating and sitting arrangements are top of our list - and a dog/child proof gate outside is an excellent idea. We’re planning to replace the glass in the kitchen door to bring the spectacular view inside as soon as we can - which will help in keeping an eye on what’s going on outside too. Property Owner
