What Scott Mason doesn't like about The Bothy:

The Bothy Bar at MacDonald Hotel in Kinlochleven offers a lovely atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service with a view of the stunning West Highland Way. Despite some minor hiccups like limited seating and slow service, the bar's menu offers a variety of options including vegetarian dishes and locally brewed ales. The welcoming staff, cozy fireplace, and beautiful terrace make for a perfect dining experience, especially after a long day of hiking or traveling through the Scottish Highlands. Overall, The Bothy Bar is a charming hidden gem worth visiting for a relaxing evening in Kinlochleven.
