Children and dogs are allowed to roam freely and safely in the acre of fenced in garden. Guests and their dogs are free to wander around the 43 acres of grounds. There are many walks directly from the property, without having to drive anywhere. There is total peace and solitude, with fresh mountain air and pure spring water on tap.

The shower room has a shower and WC and dry off with fluffy towels as you plan your day’s activities.

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
