Wonderful stay in this charming bothy. Feels very cosy and had everything you could wish for to make a welcoming comfortable stay. The setting is beautiful, we were surrounded by red deer in the evenings and had great views of the stars in the dark sky. Great location for day trips around the Cairngorms.

It was our second stay at “The Stables”, but definitely not our last. The cottage is absolutely beautiful and cosy, and everything was prepared for us with so much heart and care. We enjoyed the beautiful landscape and the stunning views surrounding the cottage. Thank you, Clara, for all the passion and care you put into this wonderful place. We hope to be back soon!

We really enjoyed our time at the Auld Smiddy Cottage. The bedrooms were perfect for our family of 5, and we liked being able to have a fire in the fireplace. It was also really nice to have two bathrooms. We also liked being able to stay in a house that was built in 1860-we loved the character of the home.
