This modern bothy, situated on the edge of ancient forests, would make an ideal holiday or base for adventures. As well as local walks and the riverside village of Nethy Bridge, it's only a short drive to the Cairngorms for skiing, hiking & biking.
The space
The Bothy is recently redecorated and was built about 10 years ago. It has its own decking outside and front door to enter. There is space to sit out on the decking and outdoor seating. However, please note that our house is on the same site and shares the large garden. Please also carefully note that the Bothy does not have its own 'garden' and we do have two small children who do play all around the garden. However, we will do what we can to respect your privacy so that you can enjoy your holiday and are always looking for ways to improve.
Downstairs there is a large open plan living area with kitchen, dinning table and sitting area and washing machine. The kitchen is an Ikea style "kitchen in a cupboard" with electric rings, sink, small fridge/freezer, and a combi oven/grill/microwave.
Upstairs there is a king-size bed in a large double bedroom with ensuite bathroom (shower but no bath). There is a small double sofa bed that sleeps 1 adult or a child.
No smoking in the property or outside in our garden.
1 well behaved dog allowed but not allowed upstairs in property.
Guest access
Please note that the Bothy is on the same site as our house. Also we do access the garage/bike store which is part of the same building as the Bothy to access our bikes in the mornings for school run.
