Traveling at the beginning of a pandemic is a little wacky but I cannot think of a better place to stay. Angus and Judy were a delight. The Bothy is super cute and was perfect for 4 adults for the week. Beds were comfy, the radiant heat was glorious, overall comfortable and cozy. Honestly I was hoping we wouldn’t be allowed to go back to the US and we would have to stay forever! It’s in a beautiful area and the farm shop down the road is great. My partner is from the area and I can’t imagine staying anywhere else when we visit from now on.
