Benefits of Staying in a Remote Cottage

Slow-Living. A remote location offers the visitor the ability to focus without distraction and persue areas of interest, artisitic ambitions and projects or hobbies such as painting, reading, writing, stargazing. Or simply, to sit still, and sip coffee.

Digital Detox. The solitude and peace that comes from holidaying in a remote place, often allows for a complete switch-off. The quietness allows for deep introspection and relaxation. A sense of clarity may check in anytime.

Peace & Privacy. Cottages that are located in remote places offer excellent seclusion, connection with nature and little distraction that often comes from being in shared spaces. Give yourself the gift of tranquility.

Charm. Fireplaces and wooden beams, brass beds, even outdoor loos, rustic homesteads and unique, quirky architecture help to create a charming atmosphere and unique experience by the bucketload.

Immersion & Connection. Surrounded by natural beauty, remote holiday locations offer a key way to foster connection with nature, and in so doing, help to reduce stress, anxiety and boost your feel-good factor many-fold.

This was our 4th visit to the Auld Smiddy. We love the location of the cottage and the cottage itself is excellent. Being next door to the Moulin Inn is ideal. The cottage is easy walking distance to the town of Pitlochry too. We have 2 small dogs and the layout of the house and the fully enclosed garden and decking area are perfect for the dogs. There was nothing nicer than sitting in the Dining Area with the door open listening to the birds and the little stream running behind the garden. So relaxing! There are so many lovely walks to do from the cottage. Perthshire has so much to offer. We definitely would love to return.
