Cramped metal box made into bothy listed on Airbnb at £500 for two nights

A bothy made from a shipping container with no toilet or kitchen has been listed on Airbnb for nearly £500 for two nights.

The Remote Container Bothy is near Lochgoilhead, on the Cowal peninsula, but has no reviews yet.

Photos of the listing show a metal container with a futon inside which converts into a “comfortable mattress” and an interior consisting mostly of plywood.

No electric kettle is provided but guests can heat up a metal kettle on the stove.

Sleeping bags are available to rent and the service charge is £66, pushing the cost of two nights towards the £500 mark.

The owners of the listing – managers of the Carrick Castle estate – were approached for comment.
