My wife and I had a very comfortable stay in the Bothy. It had all we needed and provided a good location for visiting the sights around the area.

The cottage was nice and cosy, The bed was comfy, the shower was good and everything we needed was there. Auchterader is a superb town, with everything you need for a holiday. There is a good selection of shops and places to eat out (or in). On the doorstep are numerous places for anyone who loves the outdoors. We chose the following for our week -Read more Crieff, Glasgow, St Fillans, Crail, Anstruther - and a visit to the Genturret distillery. Hide

We had a wonderful time at the Bothy, it's cosy and clean, the size was perfect for us (2 humans and 2 dogs). The garden is big and is fully enclosed, a big plus! It is located close to the big cities and many sights in the area, and great for a road trip to Glen Coe and Inverness, too. Kitchen is well equipped and has plenty of working space so weRead more cooked most of our meals there. We felt right at home during our 3 week stay, and will definitely come again when we get the chance! Thank you! Hide

Ideal location off main road, with stunning views 2 minutes away by foot. Small but perfectly equipped cottage. Thoughtfully decorated and wonderfully clean. Dog friendly - especially wood floor. Nice seating areas outside and cosy inside. All in all, really great value for money. Thank you for a great stay!

This cottage is really comfortable, the garden is just up the path, it is enclosed on three sides so not a problem provided dogs well behaved. Good parking on the roadside and plenty of space

The garden was a sun trap but unfortunately we couldn't leave our two spaniels out to sit in the sun as no gate to keep them safe from the busy main road
