"The Bothy was an excellent find on Sykes."
We felt settled and comfortable very quickly. The Bothy had pretty much everything we needed.
We were very warmly greeted by the owners and it was great to meet them both.
Glen Clova was stunning. The view of the hills from The Bothy was amazing.
We were chilled and relaxed all the time we were there.
We missed that there was no WiFi at The Bothy, but this actually enhanced our holiday and how we were feeling. We learnt some fabulous lessons about re-connecting with each other and we’ll take those lessons home with us.
We would recommend The Bothy 100% and would absolutely love to stay there again, maybe for longer than a week.

"Magical place."
For dog owners: The garden is secured by a 4/5 foot rabbit proof fence all around. It was enough to contain a curious and very energetic staffy. The rest. Peaceful, tranquil and beautiful. The bothy is small but perfectly formed, and the owners are friendly, knowledgeable of the local area and walks while being intrusive.

Dog friendly garden. Super friendly hosts. Amazing location. The river burst its banks while we were there leaving some minor roads impassable. Su, the owner, took the time to show us on a map a detailed route home to avoid the flooding. Please note that the flooding is quite rare so don’t be put off by it. Would definitely go again.

"The cottage is so homely and comfortable, it had everything we needed to make it a relaxing stay."
The area is amazing, there are so many walks we didn’t do!! Sue and Ian were so lovely and friendly, happy to share their knowledge of the area and the dogs thanked them for it, the walks they recommended were beautiful and dog friendly. We explored every day and there was still so much more we could do. We will most definitely be back and explore more, we were sad to leave. The garden is fully enclosed so the dogs loved running around in it and the birds on the table and feeders were amazing l, we did sit and watch them a lot and tick off which ones we had seen. I loved the little extra touches in the cottage and we sat many nights and played cards or board games and we didn’t miss not having signal on our phones once. I would definitely recommend this cottage to people who love exploring and tranquility.
Thank you for having us.

"Peaceful and beautiful !"
The Bothy offers real cosy comfort and being off grid a chance to really enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We really enjoyed challenging ourselves with some walks while nature spotting all the time. Our dog was relaxed from the moment we arrived which proves what a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere Su and Ian have created at the Bothy. They have put care into the detail like the supply of food for the bird feeders which gave us hours of pleasure. My husband loved the log burner and enjoyed making us warm and cozy by lighting it on cooler evenings. Su and Ian were in no way intrusive but still shared their passion for the area with us making some excellent suggestions for our explorations. All in all we had a really wonderful visit and although we had excellent weather it was just the icing on a fab holiday. Returned home relaxed, comfortably exercised and making plans to return.
