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.

Thank you for your 4 star rating, glad you enjoyed The Old Smithy
Lovely cottage but rather expensive. Towels should be provided. Too dog friendly for me - extra cleaning would improve this.

Wow, stunning and breath-taking. Had an absolutely amazing time with my siblings. The accommodation was fantastic and in an idyllic spot. We will be back. Thank you so much.
This lovely cottage is in an idyllic setting and perfect for a relaxing break in the sun. We have enjoyed a wonderful week, walking and visiting some very interesting places and there are very many more to explore. We appreciate how well equipped this cottage is and especially Stuarts telephone call on Tuesday to hear that all was well. Many thanks.
Thank you. We had a lovely time in your amazing house. It really is something else! This countryside is just gorgeous , especially at this time of year. Just loved it all.
A wonderful home- the perfect place for a warm, cosy joint 35th/ 70th birthday weekend. Bitterey cold weather – the tail end of storm Emma but the Smithy was so comfortable, spacious and so interesting in terms of history and architecture. Managed to get some terrific coastal walking in and good birdwatching – black guillemots being the highlight. Thanks for all your help, we hope to be back.
A wonderful week! A family get together in a relaxing well appointed cottage. It certainly lives up to its billing and is faultlessly well equipped. Thanks to all for a much needed relaxing break. We will be back I am sure.
