In the evening the lounge area becomes a warm and inviting space to sit and relax, with the flickering flame from the electric wood burner, music playing or playing a game or two, and of course finish off the evening with a wee dram. Pure bliss!

Booked to spend time with our 2 Daughters, their partners and our Grandson. Very pleasantly surprised by this well stocked property. A real home from home and a very comfortable stay for 6 adults and a baby. The small touches were much appreciated, and the large enclosed garden was great for our Daughters 2 dogs and enjoyed by ourselves for some garden games. The outside space was also large enough for 3 cars. Highly recommended, and would love to stay again to explore the area more. We visited Floors Castle gardens for a lovely walk but there are lots of interesting places within an hours drive.

Stay was amazing, comfortable and cosy. Everything we expected and more. We lucked out with some lovely sunny weather for the end of October, lovely area with lots to see and do for all ages. Thank you Gail for all your pre- planning it was very helpful.

The property is exceptional! Every single thing you could want or wish for are included. Similar properties often require purchasing a few bits and pieces mostly for the kitchen, but we had no such issues here and the welcome packs for us and our dog were a very generous extra! The property is cozy and comforting a proper home from home, the garden is also exceptional with plenty of room for our dog to have a run and stretch his legs. Communication with the host was perfect and they could not have done more for us! Set in a lovely village the property is the perfect base for exploring the surrounding border towns or heading over to the east coast beaches etc. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely time at The Old Smithy. Gail was exceptional with making us feel we were at home. She made sure we had everything we needed. Gail went over and above to ensure we were happy. As far as making our granddaughter have good fun in the garden. I am sure we will be back at some stage. Thank you Gail for all you have done.

Beautiful, clean and well-equipped cottage in a lovely garden. Great views, over the river to fields beyond. Location perfect for us. Easy to get to lots of pretty towns and estates by car, with dog walks on the doorstep. Occasional traffic noise in the main room - but you'd expect a blacksmith to be near a road - and the bedrooms are quiet. Very enthusiastic and welcoming property manager. Thoughtful welcome package for us and the dog, including dog towels that came in very handy. Gail was brilliant keeping in touch after we left and returning a scarf I had forgotten. Good internet access at the cottage. Some mobile signal issues indoors, as might be expected in a stone-built property. We didn't find this impaired our holiday. The large main room was great for cooking, eating and socialising as a family and I appreciated the very well-organised kitchen drawers. Overall a great place to stay.
