“We really enjoyed our stay at Smithy Cottage, the location is fantastic and the space is really cute.”
Whilst the cottage is compact, the dressing room proved extra space where you could dry washing etc. and a boiler cupboard where we stored bags. The parking permit provided was essential, there is not really parking outside the cottage as it’s shared with the cottage next door. The hedges were overgrown with brambles and the road is used by delivery vans and bin lorries so we preferred to use the car park which was a short 5 minute walk away.
The stairs pictured are steep and narrow and would not be suitable for someone with accessibility concerns. After unpacking our case we did manage to get it upstairs with a “pivot” moment.
The kitchen was functional but several items need replacing, such as the knives, scissors, and non-stick pans. We did find the pans worked on the hob.
We were thrilled on arrival to be welcomed by a couple of amazing scones (the best we had on our trip), a bottle of wine, milk, washing up liquid, and soap. A nice touch to start our holiday. Overall, we would return to Smithy Cottage.
