A cosy home from home cottage set in a wonderful location. A small walk to Croyde Bay and an even smaller walk to the lush Thatch Pub. We have had the most relaxing Christmas at the Smithy. Kitchen was fully equipped with good quality utensils. Everything was that you needed which made our even more enjoyable. Highly recommended

Smithy cottage was lovely! Weve been to Croyde many times before so we knew the area well, the cottage was super clean and very cosy with the log fire. As others have said in the reviews, the shower isnt great but its hot and clean! The courtyard is nice but it does open straight onto the road so if you have a dog then this is something to be awareRead more of, the kitchen is really well equipped with milk left in the fridge for us along with coffee and tea and lovely biscuits. A great little cottage in a fab location Hide

Pleasant stay at Smithy - a house full of character be it a bit dark for us in the day in the lounge but the gorgeous log burner made up for that in the evenings Well equipped kitchen and great to have some biscuits and milk and tea n coffee stuff left. Beautiful crisp white bed linen and property felt clean Not a great shower in bathroom as Read moreothers have said as water pressure poor but not an issue as chose to use the bath instead. Location amazing in spitting distance of The Thatch and brilliant to have a parking space at the back of the property. Hide

Small but adequate cottage in the beautiful village of Croyde, be mindful of the busy road as you walk straight out from the property.

The Smithy is a cute, quirky ( the well in the kitchen, ovens in the fireplace etc.) cottage in Croyde village, excellently positioned close to the local pub, The Thatch (lovely place to eat and drink.) and to the beach. There is a parking space behind the cottage, which is a bonus. There is a little courtyard and gated area so you can sit outside Read morebut as we came at the coldest and stormiest part of Jan, we were not able to use it, instead, we stayed cosy indoors watching tv.
