Below is a recent review,
" The Bothy, An Honest Opinion
My husband, better known as The Gadget Man, thinks I’m mad.
This is partly due to the fact that my idea of heaven is to spend quiet time in old fashioned cottages with few modern amenities, just rolling meadows and hills outside. Who needs television when all you need is to gaze out the window? Who could ever miss central heating if a turf or log fire is the alternative? Who wants to be a slave to a double oven and hob when two gas rings are enough to produce a wholesome meal?
There is something infinitely satisfying about going into a solid, thick walled, whitewashed cottage and expending a little bit of honest effort to keep yourself warm and fed. Savouring silence and scenic surroundings feeds the soul.
The Bothy, originally from both, the Old Irish for hut, provides the ideal venue and perfectly complements the activities which Ardclinis offers. After a rigorously satisfying day of climbing in the beautiful Glens, what better way to unwind than nestled in the heart of the countryside, sitting in front of a roaring fire, with only a passing sheep to disturb you?
This cottage was uninhabitable until Ardclinis took it over last year. If an Estate Agent described it as having been sympathetically restored, comprising spacious sitting/dining room, kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, magnificent views front and rear, then he/she would be correct. (There’s a big bath, which looks particularly inviting.) The Bothy can sleep up to eight people in its bunk bedrooms and is only £45 per night. Heaven comes cheap here and the view is free.
I would personally garrotte anyone who used a mobile phone in this little oasis of peace, but I believe Ardclinis staff are a little more forgiving!
