Well that's why I'm asking the question if it's likely to be busy!! I am well aware that it won't be appreciated!
They are likely to settle ok in the bothy if it's just us or a one or two others, but more people = more excitement. Mine would be fine on his own, but the two dogs together are excitable.
As I said, a tent with them would be hard work, but we would bail to the van. My dog is tent sized and is in tents often, but the other one is bigger and not in them so much.
