Guest Reviews

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.

Hi Bea, As we didn't manage to write a comment in the guest book I wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed our week in Pitlochry (13th-20th July). As a family of 4, with two teenage boys, the cottage suited us perfectly as it was so spacious and had everything we needed. The location was superb, near to the centre but far enough away to provide a country feel. Loved the views of the hills!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Ruggles over the New Year period. The house is very cosy in the cold Scottish winter, and plenty of logs and coal were provided so that we could keep the fire going whenever we were at home. The beds were very comfortable and the showers in both bathrooms worked very well. The kitchen was well provisioned for making meals. The location of Ruggles is stunning with some beautiful walks straight out of the front door. A particularly nice touch was the bag of monkey nuts that was provided – we put some out on the feeders opposite the front door and were almost immediately rewarded with the sight of a red squirrel coming to eat them. This was our second trip to Ruggles and we’ll almost certainly be coming again.
