After i saw your post i got on the phone and booked the bothy for the family the next week.

We had a short paddle from a nearby jetty (we didnt go from the share centre)

The grass is still to grow back where groundworks have been completed and the little harbour could do with improvement but the bothy is GREAT! It is all finished to a very high standard.

The lights and sockets aren't live and just remind you that you don't have power.

We celebrated my daughter's 9th birthday that day with a little party: just my singing for pass the parcel and tea lights for disco lights.

We plan to book it in the summer for as long a stay as allowed.

Well worth a visit.
