We really enjoyed our time at Tack Bothy, and so did our dogs. It was great for them to have secure space to run around in, in both the garden and the field. The area is beautiful and we enjoyed walks around the lanes as well as across the stream to Wales for the nearest shop and pub. Our friendly hosts had definitely thought of everything we mightRead more need. Any potential visitors should be aware of the size of the bothy - we were fine with 2 small dogs, but larger ones would have been difficult. Hide
