The bothy is the perfect size for a couple and was exceptionally clean and well designed. The bed was super comfy and the views from the bedroom upstairs are fantastic! We loved the location as there were some good walks right at our doorstop which our dogs loved. We were also just a short walk from a nice/restaurant in Archiestown which was great. The bothy is perfectly located if you're looking to visit whisky distilleries in the area. Communicating with Andy was super easy and he was so kind and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend the bothy! ##### Page M.
