We had an amazing stay at the Smithy; it couldnt have been more relaxing. The cottage, grounds and Trentishoe area are beautiful - we fell in love with it, particularly the gardens we had access to on the property! Stuart and Suzi were so friendly and welcoming and the property was unbelievably well equipped. The road to the cottage, and in generalRead more in that area, are narrow, windy and steep but are generally very quiet (and we visited over the bank holiday and half term). We cannot recommend this enough and Im sure we will be back in the future! Thank you so much, for such a lovely holiday. Hide

A lovely cottage with everything you could wish for. The hosts were very helpful and fresh flowers, Prosecco and scones, jam and clotted cream were a lovely touch on arrival. A lovely walk to Heddons Mouth and onto the North Devon coastal path can be reached from the cottage. Would definitely recommend and revisit

The cottage, its location (and the weather!) were all perfect for a weeks stay for two.
