Sit back and enjoy the views.Secluded from the bustle of town life.
Well appointed .
Place is compact and very cozy for 2 of us.
Great amenities ,extremely clean and warm throughout..
High standards.
Literally roll down the hill amongst the sheep and land at the world famous 3 chimneys restaurant- a must try- book ahead.
A place to relax and we stared at the moon and stars from our loft bedroom with attic windows .
The owners have put a lot of time and effort into making this space a remarkable place to stay. It’s clean and welcoming. The kitchen was well stocked - we were grateful as most restaurants were booked or closed for the season. Be prepared to bring food or make reservations in advance. Our host was incredibly gracious, offered great tips, and there are several guide books available to help plan adventures. The views are astounding-just so beautiful! If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful place with gracious hosts and incredible scenery then this is your place to stay!
Very good. It will be better when the decking is finished so the patio doors can be opened. Also, a note about the path to the track down to the Three Chimneys and some signposts would be helpful.
We had a lovely stay, the Bothy is compact but beautiful. There is a wonderful view from seating area and bedroom. We would definitely recommend it and hope to visit again!
