Well equipped, comfortable and fantastic location. Really great for a multi generational trip as grandma had her own downstairs bedroom and bathroom. Very comfy, quiet except for the lovely sound of owls in the woods. Just perfect. Well equipped, comfortable and fantastic location. Really great for a multi generational trip as grabdparents had their own downstairs bedroom and bathroom separated by a door from the family space. Plenty of room for teen age 15 to grandparent age 79 to spread out. Very comfy, quiet except for the lovely sound of owls in the woods. Excellent kitchen with air fryer (yay!) Just perfect.

Glenbardie Bothy is exceptionally comfortable. Set back from the main road,a real sun trap. Only five/ ten minutes( for slow walkers!) from the village centre. Lots of walks from the door. Only issue was low slanted ceilings upstairs in bedrooms. I banged my head several times. Downstairs was perfect. Highly recommend this property. The photos do not show how spacious it is downstairs.

A really well laid out property with modern amenities and comfortable furnishings etc. Quietly 'tucked away' off a main road but very convenient for the village centre and a great base for walking and sightseeing in this wonderfully scenic location.
