Is Tack Bothy Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Tack Bothy is quite small at 17x11 feet and designed as a romantic retreat for couples. While kids might enjoy the wildlife pond, stream and 43 acres to explore, the compact space makes it less suitable for families. The hot tub and garden are great, but with just one studio room, there's limited space for children to play indoors.
For Couples
Tack Bothy is perfect for couples seeking privacy. The hot tub under starry skies is genuinely romantic. The wood burner keeps things cosy while you snuggle up watching Netflix. Wake to birdsong and breakfast with eggs from the owner's chickens. The compact space means you're always close and the total seclusion lets you truly reconnect without distractions.
Pet Friendly
Dogs will love the large fenced garden where they can run safely. The 43-acre wildlife site offers fantastic walks right from your door. Two dogs are welcome at £20 each. Previous guests mention it's ideal for anxious dogs due to the peaceful location. The stone floors are practical for muddy paws after countryside adventures.

Mark
We had a fantastic stay at Tack Bothy! Loved the stunning views, the hot tub was a real treatand the BBQ was perfect for relaxing evenings. Access to lovely walks and nearby amenities made it a great escape. Definitely coming back!
George
From the start, the directions were clear and easy to follow. Julia's pre-arrival message was a nice touch, making us feel welcome and well-informed without being overbearing. Dave and Jenny genuinely felt like old friends, their helpfulness and relaxed attitude really stood out. Their knowledge was impressiveand nothing was ever too much trouble. Honestly, best doggie holiday we've had. Thanks a lot!
Alex
This cottage was so charming and comfy, really gave us that homely vibe. Everything we needed was thereand we both left feeling totally relaxed. The hot tub was a highlight! The peaceful surroundings and friendly owner make this place a must-visit again soon.
Emma
The place is really lovely, super peaceful, perfect for a couple of relaxing days. Everything was handled really well!
Emily
Lovely little cottage! It is quite small but has everything you need. It's on a steep hill, so be prepared for that! There's an overflow fridge freezer, so bring whatever you need. A washing machine and drier are available if you need themand the hot tub was simply blissful.
James
Such a beautiful place! We definitely recommend it for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the scenery.
