Absolutely beautiful stay at The Bothy in February. It was lovely and cosy warm in a fantastic location, tucked out of the way but still close enough to amenities if you have a vehicle.

The Bothy was a well equipped home from home, perfect for some time away to relax and recharge. We were greeted by Alastair on arrival who was happy to give us advice on the local area, places to eat etc. The Bothy is perfectly situated as a base for venturing out around the beautiful Lake District.

We had a lovely 5 days and found the Bothy delightful, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The courtyard is enclosed by a portable fence which wasnt a problem for our two labs but if you have a more robust, boisterous dog you may find they could jump or knock over. Certainly a stay here wouldnt disappoint and we would stay again.

If you like being away from it all, near farms and animals this the place to be. The owners and neighbours are very friendly. The Bothy is exceptionally well presented and equipped with the best TV/Audio system we have ever seen in holiday accommodation, plus a huge collection of DVD's if you need entertaining. Be aware that the steps up to the bedRead moreroom are very steep and the headroom up there is limited. Nevertheless we can highly recommend The Bothy. Hide
