Absolutely fantastic in all respects! Delightful location; great tasting experience - both the guns and food; staff polite, professional and could not have been more helpful. No pressure to complete our visit and a great shop and relevant exhibitions to look at. Outstanding value too! Completely recommend!
What a great experience! We really loved the gin tasting. We felt so warm and welcome and had an amazing time with delicious gins and great company by the other guests. At first we were a bit surprised that the tasting was not accompanied by a person but with a video. But actually it was really good that way, because during the tasting itself we to know the other guests better and had a lovely time together with them! We also ordered an additional sharing platter for two people and shared it among us three. We definitely can recommend that experience! Even if you're more into whisky tastings that's an awesome experience.
We did the Classic gin bothy tasting with the ploughman's tasting board. We were the only people on the 12pm session so had the bothy to ourselves. It was a fantasticly set up bothy with the tasting session run over a dvd by the owner Kim. There were 4 different gins to taste with 4 different mixers and 4 different garnishes. There was tea & coffee available for the driver and a driver's pack of 2 small bottles and a mixer to take away and try at home. Laura looked after us very well and apologised that the other 2 bothies that you can normally look around were out of commission due to the recent flooding. The experience was well worth the money and we would return and do it again. Plenty of gin, jam and other goods to purchase in the shop as well.
Amazing pre-booked private tasting and lunch experience at The Gin Bothy with Lyn, the Manager. 4 different gins to try and stories with each as well as different fruits and cordials to put in them to make the most of the flavours. Great for groups up to 8 or 12 people. Would definitely recommend (and recommend having a designated driver / hired mini coach!)
Whilst on holiday nearby I did afternoon tea & gin tasting here with my mum. The food was delicious, gins lovely, authentic atmosphere with bothy singing. Very friendly, helpful staff. We loved it! Wish it was nearer as we would definitely visit again.
Really fun, though you "only" watch a video and follow your tasting along with it. But it works! Because I was driving, they let me only taste one of the gins and gave me the small bottles for the other 3. So be aware of that if you're driving - you can't get the full tasting experience on-site. But it's ok! You get to take home the gin! The shop is also very good with more gin to buy... oh my... plus marmalades and soaps etc.
