    beautiful gardens
    narrow road
    lack of entertainment

    The garden views from our balcony were enchanting.

    Reaching the Old Smithy was a bit of a challenge, as the narrow single-track road felt daunting at first. While I eventually appreciated the seclusion, it did create a sense of isolation. the lack of nearby entertainment options left us feeling somewhat stranded after sunset.

    Chur, we had a fab time! Chris and Diane were super friendly, the cake was a sweet touch, but the area felt a bit quiet for night-time fun.

    The King Room with Balcony was simply stunning! Enjoying homemade cake and tea on the balcony while overlooking the garden was a truly memorable experience. Chris and Diane went above and beyond, ensuring every detail in the room was perfect.

    welcoming atmosphere
    challenging access road

    The homemade cake and coffee waiting for us upon arrival was a delightful touch that made us feel instantly welcomed.

    Reaching the property involves navigating a narrow single-track road, which took some time to get accustomed to.

    tricky road

    Loved the balcony views, but the single-track road was tricky at first.

    The king room with a balcony offered a fantastic view of the garden, which was filled with lively chickens and frolicking rabbits—one heck of a backdrop for relaxation. After a long day, enjoying homemade cake with coffee on the balcony became my favorite evening ritual.

    Getting to the property involved navigating a winding single-track road, which was a bit tricky at first, but you learn to appreciate the peace that comes with it. while the surroundings are perfect for peaceful escapes, the options for evening entertainment are practically nonexistent, leaving one with limited options after sundown.

    missing upgrades

    what a disappointment this stay was! the road to the Old Smithy is an absolute nightmare, and who woudl ve thought i’d be sharing a space with wild chickens? i almost wrote a good review, but the lack of complimentary upgrades or gestures was simply unacceptable. this place really doesn’t deserve any praise.

    A Relaxing Getaway with Scenic Views

    We spent three lovely nights enjoying the peaceful balcony views. The warm welcome included delicious homemade cake, perfect for relaxing evenings. Although the single track road was a bit tricky initially, it ultimately added to the charm. I recommend visiting the nearby park for stunning walks.

    fabulous view
    quiet park

    the park nearby was a bit quiet (could use some more activities). but the room was lovely with homemade biscuits and comfy bed. friendly hosts made us feel right at home, and the view from the balcony was fabulous.

    pleasant stay with beautiful views

    Chris and Diane created a warm atmosphere, offering homemade cake with coffee and tea upon our arrival. Our king room was well-appointed and the bathroom met all expectations. The highlight of our stay was enjoying the garden view from the balcony, a rare sight with chickens, wild rabbits, and squirrels adding to the tranquility.

    cozy room
    limited entertainment

    The stay is a delight with an enchanting garden view and cozy, well-furnished rooms. I particularly enjoy the homemade biscuits and the excellent breakfast, which keeps me energized for the day ahead.

    A lack of entertainment options nearby, such as karaoke or casinos, limits evening activities.
