Ardoch Bothy is sometimes available for Short Breaks of 3 nights (minimum), or longer. Rates vary but, as a rough guide, a 3 night stay works out at just over two thirds of the weekly rate for the time of year. Flying to Inverness with (say) Easyjet, and hiring a car, makes this a very cost effective way of enjoying a long weekend amid glorious scenery and in a peaceful and tranquil environment.

May
“You have created a perfect refuge in a paradise setting. To enjoy the changing scenery through the two big windows, and to be able to walk into the wonderful surroundings was healing in itself. It’s so good in this frantic world to be able to come to a refuge like this and reset our bodies and minds…”

July
“We’ve had a fantastic week…the peacefulness and tranquillity of the setting was perfect – we have felt we were in our own little bubble. Not looking forward to going home, as we will miss the fantastic views from the Bothy and round every corner. We have made sure we’ve left a few things to do for next time though…thank you for your hospitality, and for creating a little haven.” August
