The cottage was absolutely the best! I donât know how I could describe it more effectively than just saying it was the best. Our host was responsive and helpful in our stay was wonderful.
We spent 5 days here over Easter and had a great time. The cottage had everything the children and adults needed with plenty of space. The location of the property was perfect with great cycling routes around Guthrie.
We would certainly recommend the Smithy.
Booking was easy, found the property without any problem so supermarket delivery came on time. Plenty space and living area layout met our needs. The games room was fun ÂŁ1 per game of pool, unfortunately pinball was out of order. Nice house to spend time with friends.
We loved our stay in Guthrie. A super, clean, large property with two living zones plus a large games room. We visited as two families getting together (four kids ranging from ages 9-15). There was space for everyone to relax and have fun. Weâd definitely return. đ
GroĂzĂŒgig geschnittenes Anwesen mit sehr guter Ausstattung. Alles sauber und in sehr gepflegtem Zustand. Netter Vermieter, der sich bei anfĂ€nglichen Bedienungsschwierigkeiten des AuĂengasgrills sofort gekĂŒmmert hat. Eigentlich toller Spieleraum mit Billard, Tischkicker und Flipper, leider aber kostenpflichtig fĂŒr jedes Spiel, das war schade und hĂ€tte bei der Miete miteinschlossen sein dĂŒrfen. Wir haben den Zugang zu einem Staubsauger vermisst, um zumindest mal im KĂŒchen-Essraum und auch mal in den BĂ€dern kurz durchsaugen zu können (nur als Verbesserungsvorschlag).
Insgesamt jedoch sehr empfehlenswert!
Met with family to celebrate Xmas. Everything we could have needed provided, lots of space and great garden space for our 2 dogs. Didnât venture far from the cottage as there to spend time together. Quiet and peaceful surroundings
Lovely big cottage which has a traditional feel, includes the history but has a modern twist in areas. Very clean and exceptionally well stocked kitchen. Quiet location with short driving distance to local towns. Lovely gardens with bbq, outdoor seating at front and back and lots of extra seats in garden shed. Ample parking at rear of property (we fit 3 cars in) and also space for another car at the front if needed. Lots of games and dvds provided for entertainment. Just a shame we were too early for the games room extension however it looks really good.
Beautiful cottage in a very picturesque small village. Cottage was clean on arrival and had everything we needed. Excellent communication with Jim prior to and during our stay, who sorted out the travel cot for us. Would recommend.
Lovely property overall, looking a little tired in places but nothing so bad it would spoil your stay. Booking confirmation and listing costing need attention ie the listing stated pet fee was included but had to make an additional direct payment, also checkout was stated as 11am but was advised we needed to vacate by 9am although the owner did agree to us being there till 10am on the basis we would strip the beds. So lovely home, well equipped, triple check the detail.
This was ideal for our family reunion
Children were happy, so parents and grandparents were happy
Loved the country location and all the updated finishes in the house

Great house in lovely area.
As above - great house with everything you could possibly want and to a very high standard.
Had a great holiday here over New Year. The house was beautifully decorated with a Christmas tree and lights, the table was set with crackers etc for us arriving. The whole house was immaculately clean from top to bottom - they have a fab cleaner!
The beds are very comfy, the house is well heated and is cosy. The kitchen is well equipped with all you need. No complaints at all. As others have said note that you have to go through the second lounge to use the toilets which can be a problem for whoever is sleeping on the sofa bed. The sofa bed is a very comfortable king sized one which our teenagers all fought over.
We were two families sharing and there was plenty room, lots of hot water for showers which was a bonus after some pretty rainy walks. Thanks for a lovely holiday!
Smithy house is a very recent conversion of a historic property in the charming village of Guthrie outside Forfar. Superbly appointed, the renovation has been done to the highest standards with a light, airy and contemporary feel throughout but with tasteful details here and there to evoke a sense of place. Spotlessly presented, the owners have provided all the key equipment and appliances you could wish for and the furnishings are all new including very comfortable beds. A nice garden area and rural location right next to Guthrie Castle complete the picture. Do just note that if the sofa bed in the second living room is used, guests in the other bedrooms would have to cross that space to access either of the bathrooms. Overall what's not to like?! Very highly recommended.
The property is spot on and perfect in every way. It is very spacious, well equipped, and very clean.It is ideal for a family with children. A shame we could not stay longer. The location is very good and Angus is worth visiting. We will be back if we can. Highly recommend the property
We loved the history of Guthrie and surrounding area. Just by chance on a Sunday drive we passed the cottage and immediately fell in love with it. It was picture postcard and we knew with a bit of TLC it would be amazing.
Being in between the world famous Guthrie Castle and Church. We have since encountered visitors from America, Australia and Ireland who have all been part of the Guthrie Clan. It is a unique and magical place.
