We had a lovely stay over Christmas. The cottage was perfect for our needs, had everything we needed, and was beautifully decorated for the festivities. Loved the bag of treats waiting for us too- thank you. Lovely and clean, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Shower downstairs mouldy and not very clean.
Shower downstairs mouldy and not very clean. I sprayed with bleach spray no scrubbing and it made a massive difference. Needs more attention to detail. Floor on main bathroom had hairs over it and back of toilet very dirty. Dirty table
Needs outdoor table and chairs to be able to eat outside
Overall cottage was lovely and had everything you needed. Wouldn't hesitate to come again but cleaning needs looking at

Absolutely 5* We have stayed at the Old Smithy a few times now and itâs just amazing! House is just perfect and itâs like home to home. Location is brilliant and a 30second walk to the village pub which serves the most scrumptious food! Couldnât recommend it enough. As my daughter says âitâs a little gemâ
