The Smiddy Haugh - A family-run inn with a large beer garden, dog-friendly rooms, and classic pub food
The Smiddy Haugh offers five bedrooms on the first floor, four with en-suite bathrooms and a family room with a private shower room. Each room includes a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee facilities, and garden views, with The Fine Scottish Soap Company toiletries provided. Classic pub food, featuring locally sourced ingredients like Glen Lyon coffee beans and seasonal dishes such as macaroni cheese and steak pie, is served in the Bar and Snug areas. The inn's craft beer fridge rotates tropical IPAs and milkshake stouts, while the gantry stocks a wide selection of gins and malts. Guests can relax in the largest beer garden in Auchterarder, equipped with picnic benches, or explore nearby activities like golf at North Inch Golf Course or hill walking in Perthshire. Three of the rooms are dog-friendly, with towels and treats available, and Jasper, the resident Labrador, greets visiting pets. The Smiddy Haugh is 8 km from Gleneagles and 45 km from Edinburgh Airport.
