Smart, clean cottage with superb picture window/ balcony views over Loch Tay. Watching colours and skies change with weather and time of day was wonderful.. Locally can walk to Fortingall, other walks and Crannog Centre just a short drive away.

Had a wonderful time at The Bothy. The location is absolutely perfect, right on the banks of the loch with an amazing view. The house is really well equipped, very comfy beds and plenty of room. Would love to visit again.
