Such a delight to holiday in this magical converted stable. The photos certainly do not do justice to this gem of a place. The Stables is a light and airy tasteful conversion, with great and sympathetic attention to detail. A home away from home, it is filled with lovely touches: the candlesticks on the dinner table, fresh flowers in vases, a fully equipped kitchen with Tupperware for picnics and tea lights for romantic evenings…everything has been well thought out. Its views are spectacular (and the weather was beautifully sunny). This has lead us to want to return in winter so we can try out the modern log burner! All rooms are beautifully decorated with pictures & ornamental touches enhancing the property while leaving it spacious and uncluttered. The outside private space gives beautiful views in all directions & is enhanced with wildflower areas with paths mown through it and a small orchard with lots of grass & cottage garden flowers. There’s different benches to catch the views and table & chairs for outdoor dining. Thanks to Clara and Ron who made us feel welcome but also gave us our own space. It was a wrench to leave & we look forward to returning to this idyllic spot.

Had 4 enjoyable nights at Auld Smiddy Cottage. Great facilities in the cottage and the location is perfect - quiet and peaceful with a short walk into town and near both cycling and walking routes . The courtyard with the stream nearby is a great place to sit out.

A beautifully designed and appointed cottage. The perfect base for exploring this lovely area.
