The whole place stays true to that theme, which was really charming. The location’s spot-on and the amenities are top-notch - the hot tub was so relaxing and privateand the underfloor heating kept us cosy even in February. The arrival gifts were a lovely touchand Kirsty was super helpful whenever we had questions. The TV with Amazon Prime was just the cherry on top. Brilliant stay!

We really enjoyed our time at Blacksmiths Cottage. Kirsty and her team made us feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble. The place was spotless and looked lovely. Our little one, who’s two, had a blast exploring the farm and making friends with the animals. Stargazing with the telescope on clear nights was magical; you don’t get that at home. Definitely planning to return soon!
