Lovely place to relax for a few days. The dogs enjoyed the walks and we enjoyed chilling. Jackie & David, North Yorkshire.

A really lovely property – beautifully and thoughtfully furnished and laid out and in a great location. Would definitely use your company again if looking for a holiday house in Perthshire area!

Auld Smiddy is an extremely charming cottage in a quiet location just minutes uphill from pitlochry with its many amenities. The cottage was comfortable and we enjoyed the back yard and next door pub a lot. The cottage is very quiet. Parking wasn't hard to find nearby.
