For two, with one bedroom and firewood.

Book on their website
Welcome

Lassintullich Bothy is a small bothy for two alongside Lassintullich House.

It is cosy and quiet, with views across Glen Rannoch. There is a kitchen of its own, a shower room, and places to sit inside and out.

It can be booked on its own, or with the house, when it takes the party to eighteen. The bothy is two miles from Kinloch Rannoch, at the foot of Schiehallion.

Noise travels a long way in a glen: we can often hear the team gathering the sheep off the hill on the other side of the loch.
