A home away from home

Relaxing Rooms
In the Kitchen you will find a fridge/freezer, electric cooker and hob, dishwasher and washing machine.
The two double bedrooms each have a small fitted wardrobe with hanging rails along with shelves/drawers for folded clothes.
The bathroom has a bath with shower over.
A Stunning Setting
The Bothy, is attached to historic Bowhill House itself, but a later addition from the main house which dates back to 1812. From the living room and main bedroom windows you can look over the private House gardens with views of the loch and the surrounding Valley. The bathroom and second bedroom windows also provide fantastic views of the Estate. Bowhill is great for walking and the Bothy is dog friendly making it ideal for country walks enjoying the Scottish Borders countryside.

Our Guests Reviews
"We had a truly delightful stay at The Bothy From the moment we arrived to the peaceful beauty of the setting—surrounded by nature, with rolling hills and woodland walks right on the doorstep. The property itself was clean and thoughtfully maintained, offering all the comforts we needed for a relaxing getaway. One of the highlights was the charming café just next door. It was the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or a light lunch, and the quality of food and service was excellent throughout. The staff across the estate were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and happy to assist with anything we needed. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat or a base to explore the Borders, Bowhill Estate is a wonderful choice. We left feeling refreshed and already dreaming of our next visit."
