Happy New Year to all our guests. The Bothy is now taking bookings again from April-July via Airbnb. We look forward to welcoming you in 2024. We have had to increase our prices slightly this year as our costs have risen exponentially. However, we are confident that that you will find us competitively priced for similar accommodation in the area. The area is continuing to grow as an outdoor enthusiast's paradise with the exciting new additions of the superb bike park in Boat of Garten and the new MTB trails at Cairngorm mountain. The Bothy is the perfect base for bikepacking and gravel adventures in the Cairngorms with miles of trails straight from the door.

Lots of fun to be had this summer in Boat and Aviemore. Walking on the beautiful Speyside way, biking in Deshar woods with its easy beginner friendly MTB trails, swimming or SUPping at Loch Vaa and when it rains why not visit Route 7 Cafe & Flying Sausage BBQ Hut with its Crafty capers area and try your hand at ceramic painting. All within off road walking or biking distance from The Bothy. 🚶‍♀️ 🚲 🏊‍♀️
