Good location

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.

Cozy cottage

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! Heather and John

Fantastic!! Highly recommend.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Rachael Wood

Smithy Cottage is owned and run by the Wood Family - Mark, Rachael and their son, Frederick. We only live a short distance away in the same village and are on hand to give local information and insights on visitor attractions and how to live like a local!

Why they chose this property

We spent around a year lovingly restoring Smithy Cottage to the highest standard of accommodation ready for visitors to beautiful Highland Perthshire. Everything in the cottage is new and fully restored whilst keeping the character of the original Blacksmith's Cottage. There is a large, mature garden with plenty of space for eating out of doors and relaxing to the sound of the River Ardle which runs past the garden.

What makes this property unique

Smithy Cottage is located in a peaceful rural village, yet still enjoys the amenities of a village shop, cafe and pubs. It's only 20 minutes' drive to either Pitlochry or Blairgowrie for a larger range of shops and restaurants. The cottage is also within easy distance of larger cities for day trips such as Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee.
