Most essentials provided. Suggested dustpan/brush and ice cube bags/trays. Blacksmiths Cottage is next to main road which is busy at weekend, especially with fast and noisy motorbikes during the day. No issues with traffic noise during the night. Its also near the bins, so there are people from the other cottages passing the gate on a regular basisRead more. There are a couple of steps from living area to bathroom and bedrooms, then a couple of steps down into the bathroom. Comfortable bed. Large wardrobes. Hide
