A Scottish ‘bothy’ that has been described as “gorgeous” and “a gem” can now be booked for a winter getaway.

The accommodation sleeps up to two guests. It could be well suited to either a romantic getaway or a solo holiday for those needing to clear their head after the busy festive period.

Stepping inside, the cabin features a double bed, a “luxury bathroom“, and a wood-burning stove. There is also a hob, a fridge, and “everything you need to cook with”.
Meanwhile, The Bothy has no mobile signal, internet, or television. While guests can use the hosts’ landline and internet, the listing states that the accommodation is “great for a digital detox”.
Outside, guests have access to the three-acre property’s garden, woods, and fire pit. According to the listing, The Bothy is also situated close to “many excellent walks and cycle rides”.
Currently, The Bothy has an average rating of 4.93 out of five on Airbnb based on 529 reviews. It is also classed as a ‘Guest Favourite’, meaning it is among the “most loved homes” on the website.
One recent guest shared: “What a gem! Tim and Judy are incredible hosts who have created a little piece of magic up in beautiful Glen Lyon, welcoming to people, dogs, and wildlife alike.
“We stayed in the Bothy for a weekend which was well kitted out with everything we could need, such a gorgeous setting surrounded by trees and hills. Absolutely loved the thoughtful, unexpected extras – including a roaring fire, a fresh loaf straight from the oven on arrival, and homemade clementine jam!”
A second Airbnb user wrote: “The Bothy is gorgeous and has everything you need. Tim and Judy were very welcoming and lovely hosts!
“We really enjoyed our stay in Invervar which was a winter wonderland while we were there.”
Meanwhile, a three-star review reads: “The location of the cabin was lovely and quiet. I really enjoyed being able to hear the sound of birdsong.”
Even if you do not like the look of The Bothy, there are plenty of other accommodation options in Aberfeldy. These include the Townhouse Aberfeldy bed and breakfast, the popular Moness Resort, and the three-star Schiehallion Hotel.
