The Old Smithy (1811)

Fabulous 400 year old cottage, oozing character and in peaceful location but just one mile from Beaumaris.

Beautiful cottage. Really comfortable and it had everything we needed. Super location which felt it was really rural but so close to the town.

The Old Smithy was outstanding and a real home from home with every creature comfort you could want. Definitely one of the best holiday cottages we've stayed at. Set in a quiet setting just away from Beaumaris and in easy drive of many beautiful coastal walks. And most importantly dog friendly with a beautiful secure garden.

Lovely cottage thoughtfully restored and updated where required. Very well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay and only a short walk into Beaumaris.

The cottage was exactly what we were looking for to enjoy a winter break. Warm, extremely comfortable sofas and beds and everything in the kitchen worked.Great area for walking and Beaumaris provided a number of good eating places.The only downside was the lighting in the sitting room. Great for mood but not for reading!

A lovely venue which was very dog friendly. Loved the boot remover at the front door. The check ins from the owner were appreciated.

Lovely cottage but rather expensive. Towels should be provided. Too dog friendly for me - extra cleaning would improve this.

Very comfortable and spacious. Everything necessary for cooking etc was provided. Lovely area.

The Cottage is very well appointed and comfortable. It's quirky layout adds to the charm .I would not hesitate to recommend this Cottage.Plan to return this year.

The owners have really made a wonderful job of enhancing a wonderful historic property .We arrived at night to a beautifully presented house in the darkness ,and went out in the morning to the car to see the most amazing view .Snow on the peaks across Snowdonia and the iridescent Menai straights .Quiet location ,FULLY ENCLOSED gardens great for the dog. The best supply of brilliant wood to keep two wood burners glowing . immaculately clean ,beautifully appointed with quality furnishings .A great house for a family gathering .The Bull in Beaumaris was great and The Midland tapas has won the Best restaurant in Wales 2018.What more could you ask for, for a Winter break .Truly exceptional ,and highly recommended .

Our 3rd visit to the property and again superb in every way, great cottage and location, lots of recorded history to it. The kitchen is one of the most comfortable kitchens around with a sofa, log fire and tv in it.

The old Smithy is outstanding in every way!! There is a mass of space that as been exceptionally renovated and decorated in both oldy worldly and modern. The main room is vast but when the fire is roaring and family and friends are relaxing with a drink or two after a walk on the beach it is so so cosy!! The kitchen is extremely well equipped with every mod con you could need. The Bedrooms are very very comfortable with there bathrooms situated in the rooms itself which I believe is a lovely touch. The cottage is well positioned on Anglesey wth all parts in easy striking distance. Stuart the owner is polite and always willing to help in any way with both the cottage and days out. Overall I would highly recommend this haven to everyone!!

excellent unique, quirky property full of character just the kind of accommodation we like to stay in .Fully equipped & in an excellent location minutes away from the sea & beach yet set in a quiet secluded area perfect.

So I booked this property after a recent move as I wanted to visit a few family members and this was the halfway point in a beautiful location!What a great choice of property! It is exactly what I expected and more, it was so quirky and had so much character, all of us loved it!As soon as we got there we planned on going out in the evening to a local restaurant, but the garden is so nice and was like a sun trap so we just decided to stay in and have food in the cottage. The garden is stunning, with nice lawn and flowers also has a BBQ there with plenty of logs with an honesty box. There's also a shed in corner of the garden which has loads of sun loungers, which came in handy for the beautiful weather we had. Now I was lucky as my sister did all of the cooking, but I remember her saying that she was very impressed with the kitchen and it was very well equipped. With a decent sized dining table and also a log burner in the kitchen, it was so cosy sitting in there and having food.The front room is amazing, with a huge fireplace where sits a log burner which is surrounded by 3 large comfy sofas, which is nice just to sit around, it would be perfect for Christmas! The master bedroom was by far my favourite room in the house, you access it by a spiral staircase in the front room and soon as you go in just looks so cosy and welcoming. With the roll top bath in this room, it was just great just to chill out after a long day with the skylight above you.There was lots of information in the property about the surrounding areas, an easy-to-read guide of how things work throughout the house and even a cool book about the history of The Old Smithy its self.Also although it is situated outside of Beaumaris, it doesn't take long to walk into Beaumaris its self. You leave the property and in less than a minute you're walking on a golf course, with amazing views of the Menai straight and the mountains across the water, this way will take you approx 10-20 mins to walk.All in all, we all loved The Old Smithy, the cottage made the holiday more enjoyable knowing you were going back to a cosy property. Would love to go back one day.Ryan

Tucked away in a leafy side turning, this delightfully quirky cottage is amazingly secluded yet still so handy for the coast and Beaumaris and the golf course. The interior is difficult to describe as regards the bedrooms, because it really is an unconventional layout, but the sitting room with its huge fireplace is beautiful, as is the conservatory. Lovely in both summer and winter. The owner, Stuart, couldnt have been more helpful and considerate; we had some last minute hiccups due to illness, and he was brilliant. The kitchen is amazingly well-stocked with pots and pans etc, and there are plenty of logs for the fire. The perfect place for a family holiday with a baby and dog! Dont miss the Midland Tapas restaurant in Beaumaris and Harrys Bistro at the golf club for sensational food (seriously!) NB get a Tesco shop delivered!

Such a beautiful cottage. It has a lovely cosy, homely feel but also plenty of space. Everything you could possibly need is provided and Stuart the owner is really helpful checking that everything was ok for us, providing information about the area and the best walkies for our dogs. Our fur babies didnt actually want to leave! They loved the garden and Id recommend The Smithy to anyone with or without dogs. We cant wait to go back

Excellent .................
