Everything was wonderful! We had flight delays and got in later than expected, but the lockbox was no problem to get in. My 6yr old daughter loved exploring the secret garden and the corner store had odds and ends but a trip to the larger Co-op got everything for breakfast and dinners in. The driveway was a little tricky to get out of but traffic was always pretty slow. This was a great place to set out from each day and we loved having the fire which was pre-set for an easy start when we arrived. If you’re looking for a quiet out of the way place, this is it!

Lovely cottage conveniently located in the gateway to the Highlands. We used the cottage as a springboard to all the places we wanted to visit; Perth, Pitlochry, St. Andrews, Balmoral, etc. Great location for accessing hiking opportunities as well.

Smithy Cottage is a perfect place to stay for a small family or group of friends that want to explore Scotland. It is very cozy and comfortable. The location is only a short drive from the A9 and you are able to easily go in any direction to explore. There’s a small shop next door that is great for getting a drink or small snack. The cottage is well fitted to be able to cook every day too. The garden is so green and lovely. Very quiet village. We loved our stay and the hosts Rachael and Mark are fantastic! We highly recommend and hope to be back one day!

This is the most perfect cottage. It is very well maintained and has pretty much everything you need. The owners live very close so if we needed anything they were very helpful. Would definitely recommend it

We had a lovely time at the cottage, visiting lots of lovely places around and about, the cottage was really nice, we had BBQs in the garden and on a night when it was a bit chilly we sat with the log burner on making it lovely and cosy...as with another review the only criticism is that the conservatory really needed a clean
10.0 / 10.0
Lovely well equipped property, responsive hosts,comfy beds, good location.
As it is a restored old cottage you have to be careful not to hit your head on the sloping ceilings.
Only small comment is that the conservatory needs to be cleaned.
Otherwise a great stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Smithy cottage. At first we were taken aback by its location in the centre of the village, yet the cottage was quite private as it was tucked below a bridge, and the village was very quiet. The Village shop next door was a great convenience, and we enjoyed forest and hill walks every day, as there were many trails nearby.
The cottage itself had lots of character, with a lovely sun porch, and great view from the counter and stools in the kitchen. It was tastefully decorated .and had all required amenities. We did suggest that the saucepans could do with replacing,, but the kitchen was well equipped otherwise.
The driveway was a bit tricky getting in and out, but despite this, we would highly recommend this cottage for rentals, and would happily stay there again if we are ever back this way. Thanks Rachael and Mark, for your hospitality and welcome gifts! It was a pleasure dealing with you!

We had a fantastic 3 night stay. The owner's were lovely, very communicative & excellent to deal with. The cottage is well appointed & so spacious. We were expecting a tiny cottage with small rooms but found a spacious haven which was immaculate. We're already planning our next stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Smithy Cottage. The personal touches that Mark and Rachael made to our stay was much appreciated.
Location wise it had it all for us and some really good walks (for the dog) right on your doorstep as well as a friendly and local Village Shop and Pub.
The cottage had everything that you need from the kitchen to keeping entertained if it happens to rain. A real home from home.

Smith Cottage, home from home.
Recently returned home from a weeks holiday at Smithy Cottage with my family. The cottage is very well equipped and furnished to an exceptionally high standard. The grounds are exquisite and our dog enjoyed exploring the secret garden. The cottage is well situated to visit a wide and varied number of attractions including Balmoral and Loch Ness. Mark & Rachael are fantastic hosts, and very welcoming. As a family we can’t recommend Smithy Cottage enough and hope to return sometime in the very near future.

A delightful cottage. Highly recommended
A real home from home. Rachel and Mark are excellent hosts and their welcome was very warm and friendly. They left a welcome basket with some delicious treats as well as the essentials of bread and milk. The cottage suited our needs perfectly and is well-stocked for self-catering and extremely comfortable. There is plenty to do in the area and we had a fantastic week here.

Lovely cottage in a very nice village
Perfect location in the Perthshire Highlands for hillwalking, dog walking and general chilling. We went to both village pubs and had two very nice meals. The house was very comfortable, and the garden nice to chill in. It's a traditional cottage refurbished to modern standards. The hosts live nearby. They were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. A brilliant spot for a holiday

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location
We had a warm and friendly welcome from the owners and the cottage was spotlessly clean and recently refurbished with lots of thoughtful features such a as eggs, bread, wine, shortbread and milk left for us to use. The location is very convenient next to the community shop and opposite the Kirkmichael bar! Beautiful walks from the doorstep and many interesting places to visit including Braemar, Linnh of Dee, Pitlochry, Dunkeld, Glamis Castle and House of Bruar. The cottage gardens are pretty and sunny. We were a party of 5 adults and 3 dogs and found the cottage very spacious. We would recommend this cottage to anybody and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
