The Wee Smiddy is a handcrafted shepherd’s hut full of rustic charm. Once a blacksmith’s forge, it’s now a cosy retreat with forest walks with stunning views over Grantown-on-Spey. Book into your host’s studio for Kriya yoga, hot oil massage and sauna for the ultimate retreat experience—perfect for solo travellers or couples looking to slow down and reconnect with nature. Inside the hut, you’ll find everything you need for a relaxing stay.
The space
The Wee Smiddy is in the heart of the village. The River Dulnain is across the road from the house - you can hear the water rushing at night! And there are beautiful forest walks behind the house.
Book into your host's yoga studio 'Highland Faerie' for a complete micro-retreat experience.
The hut is toasty and warm.
You will sleep in a beautiful wooden double bed from Get Laid Beds with a medium firm mattress and reading lamp.
The bathroom is spacious with an electric shower, sink, mirror, toilet and heated with a towel rail.
The kitchen is equipped with a fridge, induction hob, microwave oven, sink, crockery, glasses, mugs, cutlery, pans and cooking utensils, as well as herbal and black teas, tea pot, milk jug and coffee pods for the nespresso machine.
You can eat at a foldable dining table with 2 stools, which you can fold down for extra space in the hut after use.
There is an inherited silk chinese carpet, with signs of use but beautifully soft and cosy underfoot!
There are steps up to the front doors which open out to the patio.
Because of our rural setting, you might hear bird song as well as traffic early morning on the road. The hut is also next to a local Garage which starts work at 8am Monday - Friday. You may wish to bring earplugs if you think this will disturb you.
You will find restaurants, shops, cafes, artisan galleries and a community cinema in Grantown-on-Spey, 3 miles away by car.

Guest access
The whole of the Wee Smiddy is yours to use, as well as the patio in front of it.
Other things to note
There is no phone signal this side of the river, so please connect to the wifi when you arrive and ensure voice over wifi calling is enabled if you wish to receive phone calls.
The hut is next to the village garage so on a week day there may be noise from 8.00 am.

My work: Kriya Yoga Teacher
Hi, I’m Aurelie!
I live at the Auld Smiddy, next to the Wee Smiddy, and I love sharing this peaceful corner of the Highlands. I enjoy forest walks, river swims, bird song, and foraging. I’ve created a cosy space so others can slow down and enjoy the magic here too. I also teach Kriya yoga and meditation—guests are welcome to book a class for a deeper retreat experience.
