We loved the Stable Bothy. It’s the perfect place to come home to after a day of hiking. The bothy was furnished with great care and has all the facilities one needs. Not unimportant: it was super clean.

The Round Rogart Path is a very nice hike.

Thank you very much for your excellent review. I'm delighted that you enjoyed your stay in the bothy so much, as well as some of the local walks. If you return to the Highlands for another holiday, it would be a pleasure to welcome you back! Very best wishes, Iona

If you are looking for the perfect place to stay, then look no further. A magical holiday based around this beautiful accommodation & area. Ideally situated for exploring North, South, East & West. If it's views you want to wake up to, the Bothy is the place...simply awesome.

Tips for other travellers

The local walk around Rogart & immediately from the Bothy are a must. Very peaceful, relaxing & scenic. The walk up to the big Loch is well worth the effort. Seeing the local wild goats was lovely. So much to see in every direction. A week was not long enough. We will be back...

Many thanks indeed for your lovely review. I'm so pleased to know that you enjoyed your stay in the bothy so much and found it a good base for exploring the wider area as well as enjoying walks from the doorstep. I hope to welcome you back some time when the call of the Highlands reaches you again! Very best wishes, Iona

Iona is a fantastic host and a lovely person. Response to our booking was quick and her email contained lots of useful information. The Stable Bothy is exactly as described and is in first class condition both structurally and decoratively. The property is equipped with everything that we needed and more beside. The level of comfort is extraordinary from quality of bed linen to comfortable sofa and everything in between. The goodies provided were plentiful and, like everything else, of good quality.

Tips for other travellers

Phone signal for us was 4 bars. Better than at home! Wi-Fi signal likewise. If you have Netflix, you're in business! The information provided is exceptional, Read it and decide what's right for you. There is an extensive selection of reading material including OS maps for the whole of the N Highlands and lots of walking guiding guides. The Heritage Trail in Dornoch is well worth a walk and The Museum at Strathaven is worth a visit, particularly if you want to learn about The Clearances. Follow this up with a visit to Dunrobin Castle and you may find yourself somewhat conflicted!
