New bothies and bunkhouses
West Challacombe Bothy, Devon
This basic stone bothy is a great base for walkers to explore the North Devon coast. It’s just five minutes from the South West Coast Path, in a remote spot surrounded by fields, offering ‘camping with walls’ experience for up to four guests. You’ll be on the fringes of the Exmoor National Park, surrounded by lush countryside, rolling hills and dramatic coastline.
St Mark's Bothy, Brownsea Island, Dorset
This small building probably began life as a dovecot in the late 1800s before becoming a gardener's cottage and then falling into disrepair. It's been given new life as a beachside bothy, sleeping five people, with simple rooms and basic facilities for resting at the end of a day exploring the island and enjoying the beach. It's next to larger South Shore Lodge, a bunkhouse sleeping 12 people.
Watkin Bunkhouse, by Hafod y Llan, Gwynedd
This spacious bunkhouse is right on the Watkin Path, leading to the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) for a challenging 8 mile walk there and back. It has all the facilities you need for a walking weekend or holiday, including a woodburner in the shared sitting room, a kitchen and dining room, and a drying room with storage lockers.

What is a bothy?
What is a bothy?
Bothies offer stripped back accommodation in remote locations. Close to walking trails and national parks, they’re a great option for walkers and people who want to get away from it all. Simple brick or stone structures, bothies offer a 'camping with walls' experience. There's usually no electricity and water often comes from handpumps. All of our bothies are self-clean and do not include caretaking. Image: Heddon Orchard Bothy, Devon
