Staff were amazing, couldn’t do enough for you. We had a problem with our shower, it couldn’t be fixed in the time we were there but gave us the use of another room so we could still shower etc. breakfast was fabulous this is a brilliant place to stay and we plan on returning soon.
Great accommodation in the Smithy! Fabulous pub with wassailers when we stayed, but the food after a busy Christmas and New Year was a little lacking. Was good and there was everything that the menu stated but in minute quantities. Staff great and friendly. Would return.
