    A super, modern property providing a great base from which Scotland can be explored.

    Nothing of note; unfortunately, the predicted bad weather of Storm Babet meant that we had to terminate our break earlier than expected but we will be back!

    The property is excellent; very clean, smart and capable of hosting four people with ease. Communication with the owner was first-class and we intend to visit again. It is a great base from which to investigate many areas of Scotland, especially with the train station at Gleneagles located just two miles down the road (you can even get to London directly from there!).

    Smiddy House was beautiful. Very spacious, exceptionally clean and had every convenience you need with stunning views. We enjoyed our stay so much and felt just like at home. Jim was very thoughtful to leave arrival gifts of local produce and contactable and on hand to help when ever needed. I can't recommend a stay here enough if your In the area. Fantastic accommodation.

    Property was a little hard to find. The owner sent through the postcode before our arrival and we entered this into the Sat Nav

    Great property. Nice and quiet and plenty of space inside. Well furnished and nicely decorated. We would certainly use again when we return to Scotland.

    The Smiddy House ist a pure gem. In the middle of the Perthshire countryside its a great spot to start all your daytrips from. The house gives a homey feeling, has everything you can possible need and was super clean. An amazing bonus were the delicious welcoming gifts of the host. With whom the communication was really easy. We would totaly recommend staying there. We had a lovely stay!

    We stayed at Smiddy Cottage in a spell of exceptionally hot weather - our only complaint was the duvets, they were beautifully warm but not suited to the extremely hot spell!!

    Three adults staying together - we loved the cottage - it was great to have the two shower rooms. I would certainly stay here again and have no hesitation in recommending it to others

    Nothing to dislike to be honest.

    As mentioned before, the photos on Booking.com don't do the house justice.. a lovely 2 bedroom house in a small hamlet.. very clean and well equipped.. Great location for getting to local towns or the Gleneagles Complex.

    We received a lovely welcome gift. The house was spotless and so much larger than expected (the photos really don't do it justice). We had all wee needed in the house, cleaning products, cooking utilities, toilet roll, towels, everything that you need for your stay they have it. I would recommend coming here if you drive, there is a 2 car driveway and garden is beautiful. There is a seating area around the back. I would highly recommend, this house was beyond my expectations.

    Aside from the fact I can’t buy it, the downstairs bathroom window faces the front of house and isn’t frosted so passers by could see in. There is a roller blind in place to prevent that from happening but it diminishes the natural light. To be honest I’m nit picking though. It’s very hard to find fault here.

    What wasn’t to like? It is spacious and comfortable with lots of natural light. The whole house felt as if it had just had a major renovation. Very well appointed kitchen with cutlery, crockery, glasses, mugs and appliances. Huge comfortable bedrooms with a nice hill view and lovely big bathrooms. Patio dining was available but most days the weather was not conducive to it. Very good WiFi. Big television in the lounge and a small one in each bedroom, all of which had access to satellite channels. Excellent property and one I’d definitely stay at again. Thank you so much for providing a wonderful home from home.

    There were a few little touches that could have made all the difference: - there were no logs for use with the log burner, not even a little starter pack - there were no dishwasher tablets - the hand soap in 2 of the bathrooms were empty - there were no instructions for the heating system and the house was cold when I arrived - there wasn't a hairdryer which is usually the norm .

    Location was beautiful, very handy for both Crieff and Aucterarder. House is a great size...far bigger than it looks in the pictures. It's been beautifully modernised with great bathroom and kitchen facilities, and a nice patio area for use in the better weather.
