Wonderful stay in this charming bothy. Feels very cosy and had everything you could wish for to make a welcoming comfortable stay. The setting is beautiful, we were surrounded by red deer in the evenings and had great views of the stars in the dark sky. Great location for day trips around the Cairngorms.

It was our 2nd visit, but our first in Cow shed 2. And we loved it!! Warm, comfortable, welcoming, relaxing... everything we needed. The best bits - The warm welcome from Kirsty and Steve. The fact every detail is thought through. The peace and quiet- best sleep in months.
