Perfect place to stay!

We stayed for 10 days in this very nice cottage. Wonderful place, very clean, confortable and decorated with lots of taste. A lot to see in the area (and beyond of course): Cairngorms, Stirling, Edinburgh to name a few... Aberfeldy, the town nearby, is very nice with all we need (as well as good restaurants with very good recommandations from Elizabeth). Last but not least we had the chance to see deers passing by near the house almost every night! We were sad to leave the place... Would recommend 100%!

Fabulous holiday

We had a wonderful time, the cottage was rustic but had all mod cons. It was very well equipped and we loved cooking with the aga. We enjoyed sitting in the garden and saw some deer come through. We did some lovely walks from the cottage including walking to Dull a few times. Scenery was beautiful. We also enjoyed white water rafting with ‘Splash’ in Aberfeldy and managed to see the beavers. We would love to go back and highly recommend the cottage for a holiday.

Absolutely idyllic!

Smithy's cottage is the most delightful little cottage imaginable and everything about it is absolutely perfect. It is very cute and pretty, in a lovely setting, very nicely furnished and maintained, and totally comfortable in every way. (Even the wifi works perfectly!). It feels beautifully quiet and remote, but is near everything. Only 10 mn drive from the lovely little town of Aberfeldy and in the middle of a beautiful and interesting part of Scotland with much to see and do. We saw lots of beautiful butterflies in the garden, many red squirrels, dears, pheasants and even a couple of hares while walking or driving around. We visited castles and gardens, lovely little towns, saw spectacular landscapes and the oldest tree in Britain! We could have played golf or gone canoeing or fishing or even gone to the iconic cinema of Aberfeldy... But most of all, we loved returning to the cottage everyday and were sad to leave. Thoroughly recommend it!

Nice house terrible gardens

House was excellent but description of garden and surroundings including the “spectacular views” was totally misrepresented. The garden and surroundings would be better described as an “overgrown wilderness.” The main website page showing the views of the garden and immediate surroundings are extremely misleading and bear no resemblance to the reality,

Perfect private cottage

For ourselves, this was a perfect place to get away, totally private and extremely quiet. It's about 200m up a single track lane so you have to hope nobody is coming in the opposite when arriving or leaving. The garden in front of the cottage is totally enclosed so you cannot see the lane. The cottage is not large, but is very cosy and is ideally equipped. The Aga takes a bit of getting used to but there is also a small 2 ring electric hob if you do struggle. The Jacuzzi bath is a luxury, especially after a long walk. One thing to be aware of is that at night the area is in total darkness, so unless you put a light on you cannot see anything so a middle of the night toilet visit means feeling your way around trying not to bump into anything. The nearest town of Aberfeldy about 5-10 minutes drive, has everything you require including a nice café serving coffee and cakes. If you enjoy walking there are plenty of walks in the area, including Dull Forrest which you can do from the cottage door. For a more challenging walk Schiehallion is about 20-25 minutes drive away. Will deninitely try to return again next year.

July 2021

We really enjoyed our stay at Smithy cottage. We had very hot weather and found the cottage quite warm because we couldn’t turn the aga off-I’m sure most of the year this isn’t a problem!! It’s a perfect spot for exploring the local area, few minutes drive from Aberfeldy but in a very quiet spot. The garden was quite overgrown meaning our kids aged 9 and 4 couldn’t really explore as there were lots of nettles/thistles. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need making it a real home from home. Would happily return for another stay.

Heerlijk verblijf in sfeervolle cottage

De cottage is prachtig gerenoveerd, met prima voorzieningen (zoals een jacuzzi, heerlijke opgemaakt bedden en handdoeken). Fijn dat er in de keuken veel aanwezig is, waar gebruik van kan worden gemaakt (zout, specerijen, etc.).De tuin is prachtig en fijn beschut, zodat je er al snel kunt zitten. Aberfeldy is een leuke plaats op een paar kilometer afstand. Boodschappen doen gaat prima op de fiets!~ Het inchecken ging niet helemaal goed, omdat wij de instructies niet hadden ontvangen; maar dat werd door Elizabeth (telefonisch) gelukkig snel opgelost. Kortom, een aanrader.

Sehr schönes Cottage!!

Dieses Cottage ist absolut reizvoll. Es ist liebevoll eingerichtet und hat alles, was man braucht. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Wir haben nichts vermisst. Da es sich ein klein wenig außerhalb von Aberfeldy befindet, kann man wirklich Ruhe und Erholung finden. Es bietet sich aber auch gut an, um von hieraus zu vielen Ausflügen zu starten.
