Cosy accommodation for a few days in the Highlands. Comfortable and warm with great views.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2024
If you plan on visiting distillates, this is a great location and extremely nice cottage. I could not say enough good things about this property and the owner. I will be coming back in a year or two!

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage.
The location couldn’t be better for visiting a lot of the distilleries.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2023
My husband and I recently spent 4 nights at the lovely Taighsona Bothy with our two dogs. The bothy is the perfect size for a couple and was exceptionally clean and well designed. The bed was super comfy and the views from the bedroom upstairs are fantastic! We loved the location as there were some good walks right at our doorstop which our dogs loved. We were also just a short walk from a nice/restaurant in Archiestown which was great. The bothy is perfectly located if you're looking to visit whisky distilleries in the area. Communicating with Andy was super easy and he was so kind and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend the bothy!
