Guest Reviews

Another most enjoyable stay at one of our favourite places to take a holiday. The Cow Shed was, once again, perfect for our needs. We love the quiet peaceful environment & the amazing views along the valley. A great base to explore Perthshire from. We enjoyed ascending Cairngorm on the mountain funicular railway (near Aviemore) for the spectacular views, followed by a journey on Strathspey Heritage railway from Aviemore to Broomhill.

We really enjoyed our time at the Auld Smiddy Cottage. The bedrooms were perfect for our family of 5, and we liked being able to have a fire in the fireplace. It was also really nice to have two bathrooms. We also liked being able to stay in a house that was built in 1860-we loved the character of the home.

It was our 2nd visit, but our first in Cow shed 2. And we loved it!! Warm, comfortable, welcoming, relaxing... everything we needed. The best bits - The warm welcome from Kirsty and Steve. The fact every detail is thought through. The peace and quiet- best sleep in months.
