The was a lot of long hair in the room and bathroom, otherwise ok.
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.
