Absolutely wonderful stay- with a child or not! Our two year old was happy as a clam romping up to the station for breakfast and down to the inn for supper. The sheets were fabulously soft, the beer was wonderful and we had a fantastic soak in the rain in the tub. Wish we would have planned to stay a third night and done more hiking, or planned to take a ferry over to Skye.

If we had more time we would have planned to buy food in Fort William and cook some easy meals at the bothy.

Awww Zoe thank you so much for this brilliant review! So glad that you, Todd and wee Jack enjoyed your time at Back Track Bothies, all the way from Alaska. We would have been delighted to host you for longer - maybe on a next Scottish trip... So happy to hear you enjoyed the Swedish bath, Mark says you were telling him that you were thinking of having one at home - and spending time in the Back Track Bothies tub convinced you that you need one in your life. We think you won't regret it! Happy travels, thank you for being such great guests! Ally & Mark

Décors de contes de fées, très pratique, très bien isolé du froid, dans un environnement naturel magnifique et accessible en transport en commun.

Vous n’avez qu’à amener de quoi manger, poser vos valises et allumer le feu du poêle.

Merci beaucoup Titouan pour cette fantastique critique. Des mots si gentils. Nous espérons que le vélo jusqu'à Durness se passe bien et que les voyages lents vous permettront d'avoir beaucoup plus de conversations que vous aimez. Ally and Mark :)

A lot of love and care at the Back Track Bothies! Everything is thought off, the extern design really beautiful, the technique impressive and the interior creative, cosy and joyful. We felt very welcome because of our contact with Ally and Marc. It’s a quite peaceful place with lot of birds.

Dear Richard and Jakoline, thank you so much for this glowing review, we are so happy that you enjoyed your time here in Glenfinnan, it was a pleasure to meet you both. What great luck to find a cast antler on your hikes, we hope that you manage to get it all the way home safely. Happy travels! Ally and Mark :)

Thank you for giving us 5 stars, Neil. It was lovely to host you again. So glad that you and Jenny enjoyed your wee break. We look forward to seeing you back in the Glen next year, and will take you up on that glass of wine! Ally and Mark :)
