    We could not have wished for a better accommodation in an area of Scotland that we love. Our hosts were friendly and made us feel welcome. The Shepherds hut gets five star rating from us.

    Perfect location to explore the Black Isle (& beyond). The bothy itself is a great size with all amenities and very tastefully finished. Cosy and comfortable. Neil was a brilliant host, very knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you for a great stay!

    Great location, close to Inverness but not too far away. Peaceful. Very clean and everything decorated and finished with lovely taste. Space to park. Had everything you could need. We really liked it!

    Exceptionally lovely accommodation. We were in the Black Isle for a rowing regatta so we were out a lot and sadly didn't make as much use of the outside seating etc as we might have. Great shower facilities. Easy communication with the hosts...

Just a couple of miles from the North Coast 500, you'll find our idyllic Shepherd's Hut, Bothan a' Bhuachaille. Munlochy is seven miles north of the Highland capital city of Inverness. Completed in the spring of 2025, Bothan a' Bhuachaille offers you brand new, high quality accommodation with 'rustic luxury' at the heart of your stay. Our self-contained holiday let is set in a large private garden, surrounded by trees and wildlife. This quiet corner of the village offers peace and tranquility and yet is just a two minute walk from local amenities like bus services, a grocery shop, 'The Allangrange' gastro pub, and local woodland walks. Bothan a' Bhuachaille accommodates two people. We may be able to accommodate one well-behaved dog. There is parking for two cars. Raised decking sits alongside the hut with seating for al fresco dining and enjoying the views. A wood stove guarantees a cosy evening. (Alternative heating is also available.) A smart TV and WIFI are provided. There are two single beds, lounge seating, a well-equipped kitchen-dining space, and the bathroom has a large electric shower. Luxury towels and bedding are provided to complete your restful and relaxing stay. Visit bothan-a-bhuachailleDOTcoDOTuk for more photos and details
Isabel is a Music Tutor and plays in the Animato String Quartet. She's also an On-Call Firefighter with the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service. You may see her rushing to respond to her pager. Neil has retired after 20 years offshore as an Inspection Engineer. He now runs Bothan a' Bhuachaille and enjoys gardening. Apologies, but he doesn't wear his kilt everyday!
Munlochy is a small, quiet village on the Black Isle with a population of around 700 people. It is surrounded by farming land, woodland and forestry. Munlochy Bay in the Moray Firth is visible from the Hut (in winter) and there are lovely beaches and dolphin spotting within a 15 minute drive. Red kites and other wildlife are regular visitors to the Hut garden.
