The bothies is breath taking amazing and just beautiful, from your names on the floor at the door to the comfy beds the beautiful wood smell you can’t get any better. We 100% recommend the bothies price perfect the cabins are just out of this world. Go find out you will NOT be disappointed.

Awww Chris and Jessica, what a fantastic review! So sorry that you only had the 2 days and say that you would have liked to stay a week. That is praise indeed for a tiny house cabin, thank you so much. And glad you think our price is good too. You made us laugh with your comment about the compost loo - I think a lot of people who have not used one before can't get their heads round the concept, but once they use it they wonder why they stressed. Used properly, following the instructions in the Digital Guide, there is no smell. And being inside in the en-suite bathroom it means there is no trek outside to the loo (or the shower!). We hope to see you again in the Glen one day, and can't wait to see the video which you have done for your YouTube. Mark and Ally :)

My stay at the BackTrackBothies was wonderful! I could tell that the bothy was constructed and furnished with so much love and attention to detail. The result is stunning and a place to feel safe and very very cosy, whether you are staying there with other travellers or on your own. Glenfinnan has beautiful nature and many other perks to offer, plus the bothy hosts Ally and Mark are lovely and always happy to help. Thank you guys!

Oh Jana, what a wonderful, 5-star review! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay, and you could feel the 'hug in wood' of the Bothies. You had some pretty rainy weather when you were here, so we were glad to hear that you were so cosy. You definitely saw that there is more to Glenfinnan than just the Viaduct. Although it is spectacular - whether you like the Harry Potter films or not - there are other things to explore, see and do here. We offer discounts for longer, more sustainable stays and for returning guests, so we hope to see you back again in the Glen one day. Ally and Mark :)

Thank you so much for this wonderful, 5-star review, Andrew. It was lovely to host you and the rest of the family in all 3 of our Bothies. So glad you felt comfortable in your Bothies - especially coming to a wet summer in the Highlands from your native Australia! We're also glad that our Digital Guide proved useful during your stay. We hope you enjoyed treading in the footsteps of your ancestors. Ally & Mark :)
