Bothy camping pod (deluxe, no pets)
Liked The site was in a quiet location and the grounds were tidy and other residents respectful and quiet, the shop was needed for milk etc
Disliked The Bothy was described as Deluxe, but it was very tired, the bed was two singles pushed together which created a gap, and the mattress very hard and uncomfortable, I left with backache and didn’t sleep at all for two nights. Cobwebs everywhere, inside and on the decking, and the wooden decking and doorstep were filthy and not mopped. No hot water to wash your dishes, there were towels & crockery, yet it stared to bring your own? As the websites had differing descriptions, I did message to clarify, but had no response. There was also a hot plate to cook on, but that wasn’t mentioned, so we had to make do with the microwave meals we’d resigned ourselves too after a long drive. The website needs to be updated. I felt the price of £250 for two nights, even in August, was far too much and left feeling ‘grubby’ instead of ‘deluxe’ I bet the ‘standard’ Bothy was no different and would have cost less. Very disappointing, I booked deluxe for a bit of luxury, but it wasn’t there. We would stay at the site again but only with a camper or a tent, as the grounds were well kept and it was a friendly quiet site, ideal for visiting the area but unfortunately we found the bothy very tired, dirty and not deluxe :(
