The Smiddy Haugh Inn

Four-room village inn with dogs in the Cosy Bar and Snug

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A small village inn at Aberuthven, just off the A9 between Perth and Auchterarder, with four bedrooms. Three of the four rooms take dogs, and the Cosy Bar and the Snug are both open to them. It suits owners who want a relaxed pub stay with a dog at their feet at dinner.

Why it's in the collection

There are field walks straight from the village. Auchterarder, with the Provost's Walk path circuit round the town, is about three miles away, and Craig Rossie in the Ochil Hills rises above the valley to the south.

Dogs can't be left on their own in the bedrooms.
