The property is unique in that it is so close to the ruins of a castle that you can see it from the window and take a short walk to view it. It is quite isolated, which was perfect for us and we just drank in the beautiful surroundings. Colin and Penny were excellent hosts and provided us with delicious local specialty called a "buttery" along with some butter and jam. They were friendly and gracious and left us with good detailed instructions regarding dos and don'ts. The space itself is as advertised - small but very well appointed. We would love to return for a longer stay to explore the area on foot more!

We had a wonderful stay! Such a beautiful home and setting. Colin greeted us on arrival making us feel welcome in the very clean, cozy, comfortable and nicely decorated home. Throughout the space Colin and Penny took great thought and care to ensure we felt welcome, providing many extras including whiskey and lovely shortbread cookies, robes and slippers! The view of the castle was lovely, the hillside scattered with sheep and cattle added to the idyllic stay. We were delighted with our time and so appreciative of the hospitality. Thank you Colin and Penny.

We loved our stay at this property! The location was perfect for distillery visits and the view of the castle was truly amazing. Not to mention the visits from cows and sheep. I recommend this location and property and hope to visit again.

We had a great stay in this secluded property. It was very quiet and peaceful. Everything was as expected except the clothes washing and drying machine which was not what we are used to but we did get all of our clothes cleaned and dryed. Colin and Penny were very nice and right on property. We would love to go back.

The property was perfect. The location was stunning although not too far from local amenities.
The facilities in the property were excellent with everything needed for a break whether exploring the local eateries or cooking in the apartment. The bedrooms were lovely with beautiful views and the bathroom spacious with an excellent shower and bath.
The owners were very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend a stay at this property. I certainly will be going back

We had a wonderful holiday in that cosy holidayflat, which was very tastefully and individually furnished. Everything was of the best quality. When we arrived we got a warm welcome. We found nice little things for a typical scottish breakfast in the kitchen, flowers and a lot of good tips of every kind and for all interests. It was very clean. We were helped whenever we had a question.

It was just amazing to stay at Bothy Castle in the beautiful surroundings of Speyside / Dufftown. Colin shared with us a very friendly and warm welcome and our group enjoyed very much the cozy and spotless apartment. We immediately felt like being home and even one day of heavy rain could not dim at all our feeling of wellbeing - on the contrary: we took advantage of spending one day "home" in this comfortable apartment (and of the offered local whisky :-)). Thank you so much, dear both! Going to almost the end of the worls is definitely wort it !!

Loved loved loved it!!!!
The setting was absolutely incredible - where else can you go to have a castle close by - right out your window. The hills were beautiful and the wild flower garden right outside was so pretty too. The bothy was super clean and comfortable and the hosts provided everything we needed. Peaceful, private and relaxing.
