We had a great weekend at Auld Smiddy Cottage. It is so homely and has everything you need. It is very clean and comfortable. Lovely decor. Best location, within walking distance to main part of Pitlochry. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Pitlochry. Thank you, Caroline

The cottage itself is lovely, clean, comfortable, has every amenity, including a lovely log-burner with plenty of wood included. The owners were very welcoming and available, though not at all intrusive. Definitely at the top of our list of places to stay.

Lovely cottage to stay at with friends, had everything we needed. The sunny dining table was a lovely place to sit and chat, play games and have a glass of wine. We also enjoyed the cosy living room with the wood burner when we returned in the evening. Great choice of restaurants for us en-route to the Festival Theatre. Would definitely return.
