About Smiddy Cottage.
A former working Smiddy famous for the making of the Cameron plough. The plough was exhibited in Edinburgh in 1886 and won a number of gold medals. The plough can be seen in the garden of the cottage.
Smiddy Cottage is a self-contained 'home from home' wing of the main house in Tullimet near Pitlochy, a beautiful setting within the Perthshire hills. The cottage is south facing and has the benefit of views of the countryside.
Entry into the cottage has three steps and there after the accommodation is on one level. The cottage accommodates 2 people and is entirely private with glorious views of the surrounding countryside.
Ideal for guests wishing for a quiet break to relax and unwind, there are many walks around the local area, and for the more energetic guests you can venture up the hills to some of the lochs.
Just 10 minutes’ drive takes you to the tourist town of Pitlochry; Dunkeld, Blair Atholl, Aberfeldy and Perth are all within a half hours drive making Smiddy cottage a perfect base for exploring Perthshire.
I have taken over the running of the business from my parent's who have run it as a holiday let for the past ten years with great success and many returning guests. The cottage had renovations completed in 2017 which took longer than expected but it was well worth the wait as our guests have said many times.
What does our cottage have to offer you?
The large size of the cottage is often commented by our guests.
The entrance of Smiddy Cottage is through the french doors into the large spacious living area which gives our guests a welcoming, warm and luxurious first and not last impression of the property. After a day of exploring the countryside that Highland Perthshire can offer, relax on the large comfortable three seater couch while watching the freesat television or watching a DVD or sit on the reclining chair while reading a book, on your tablet with the full use of WIFI or sit back and enjoy the countryside around the cottage from the comfort of the cottage. There is also a comfortable dining area, which is perfect for romantic meals together. There is also a spacious fully fitted kitchen with intergraded appliances, fridge, four drawer freezer, hob/oven, microwave, dishwasher plus all crockery requirements so as you can show off your culinary expertise. For less formal dining you can sit at the breakfast bar to have your meals.
Heading into the hall way you will find ample space to leave those muddy boots and jackets after your day of exploring the countryside plus a washing machine. The tiled floor leads smoothly to the new shower room with underfloor heating. The bathroom has fitted units that house the sink, WC and ample storage space. The shower has a double outlet shower which is an overhead shower head and a hand held spray head.
In the bedroom you are met with a super king size bed (zip and link bed) that can be a twin on request with an amazing large unique headboard. The bedroom has double aspect windows to the back and front of the property where you will be able to see sheep and lambs in the spring time. The room has the added bonus of blinds and curtains to keep the room dark at night as many people prefer this for a good nights sleep.
