We stayed for 2 nights, as some of the group had entered the Etape Caledonia. Was exactly what we needed ? A nice walk into Pitlochry for us spectators. Having a lovely pub nearby was a bonus, as well as having a garden to sit out in. I would definitely book again x

We had a lovely stay in Auld Smiddy Cottage. The history of the house is clearly explained and artefacts and pictures give a taste of the smiddy. The house is comfortable with everything you could need. We particularly enjoyed sitting outside in the garden, relaxing to the soothing sound of the stream. The bedrooms were bright and spacious. Thank you for our stay.

An amazing stay in Moulin, just a few minutes from the center Pitlochry. The cottage was absolutely lovely with everything provided for including a wood burning fireplace. The pub next door is a great option for a drink and pub food.Highly recommended

Fantastic cottage within easy walking of Pitlochry. Very well appointed accommodation in a very nice quiet village with a pub with food and drink next door.
November 2024
Lovely house, fresh, clean and well equipped. Great pub with excellent food next door. Would recommend a walk to Ben Y Vrackie, straight from the door, we were lucky with fabulous weather for late October

Hi Bea & the team,
We really enjoyed the holiday, so much so that we have booked it again for next year, as you will know. The set up was great for us and our friends and their dogs.
October 2024
A lovely, cosy cottage for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. It was clean, with everything we needed and lovely comfortable beds. We could walk into Pitlochry in 7 mins and there’s a lovely Inn next door serving great food. Auld Smiddy Cottage was a perfect base to explore this lovely part of Scotland.
August 2024
We had a great stay. The house is perfectly placed with a good pub next door and easy access to walks in the mountains or into the town. Overall, highly recommended and we will definitely want to come back again.
August 2024
Beautiful, cosy cottage. We loved the location next to the Inn/Pub. The walk into town was nice and didn’t take too long. The walk back up was a little harder :) Loved our stay and wish we’d stayed longer.
July 2024
This was a fantastic place , Auld Smiddy Cottage! The five of us all give it very high marks. The location was super, walking distance to Pitlochry. However, quieter than being closer to town. All the rooms are very well appointed. We did not lack for anything, in the public rooms as well as the bedrooms. Had we stayed longer we would have taken advantage of the lovely back garden area. All in all I highly recommend this wonderful cottage.

April 2024
Excellent property in a great location and just the right size for six adults and a dog. Great base for exploring Pitlochry and the surrounding area.
April 2024
This was our 4th visit to the Auld Smiddy. We love the location of the cottage and the cottage itself is excellent. Being next door to the Moulin Inn is ideal. The cottage is easy walking distance to the town of Pitlochry too. We have 2 small dogs and the layout of the house and the fully enclosed garden and decking area are perfect for the dogs. There was nothing nicer than sitting in the Dining Area with the door open listening to the birds and the little stream running behind the garden. So relaxing! There are so many lovely walks to do from the cottage. Perthshire has so much to offer. We definitely would love to return.
April 2024
A lovely cozy but deceptively spacious cottage even for 6 adults and a dog. We had an enjoyable Xmas break going for walks and of course visiting the Moulin Inn for great food.
December 2023

February 2023
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.
August 2022
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.
August 2022
Wonderful cottage. Location is quite and the back yard is a wonderful space. The cottage was cool during the heatwave. Easy to walk or get the bus into Pitlochry. Inn next door has good pub food. Parking was always available. We enjoyed our stay and would go back.
July 2022
Great stay at the Auld Smiddy. Perfect location for some great walking across to Edradour, Black Spout. And we climbed Ben Vrackie and Criagower from the front door. A short walk down the hill to Pitlochry and all that little town has to offer. Cosy comfort inside the cottage. Would definitely return on our next trip to Scotland.
May 2022
This is a lovely well appointed cottage beside the peaceful and friendly Moulin Hotel. Great place to stay
May 2022
Lovely cottage and the sun room was a delight, opening into the garden in the sunshine. It’s really cosy and in an ideal location, central with a charming pub next door. We would highly recommend it.

This is a lovely cottage in the centre of a beautiful village and right next to the superb Moulin Inn. The cottage was very clean, very well furnished and well equipped - the back garden was a sunny safe enclosed space next to a babbling brook. Highly recommend this cottage!

Comfortable well appointed cottage. Adjoins the Moulin Inn which is a pleasant bareatery. We worried about this making the cottage noisy but this was not the case. Conveniently placed for facilities in Pitlochry and local walks. Ann
