  • Michelle - February 2026

    Description goes hereWe had a great short break at Blacksmith Cottage. The property has been beautifully renovated and had everything we needed for a relaxing family getaway, with dog. The property is very spacious, stylish, comfortable and was spotlessly clean. Robbie and Ben have thought of everything and were incredibly helpful with any queries. The games table in the annexe was a brilliant bonus. We weren’t lucky with the weather but it didn’t matter as the house was so well set up. Highly recommended as is the pub next door. Many thanks!

  • Alice - January 2026

    We stayed for a week at Blacksmiths cottage and it was fabulous. The cottage is super cosy and very well appointed. The welcome hamper from the Deer Farm was extremely generous and the cake was delicious.
    It is a cottage and is quirky with low ceilings in areas and beams but even a 6ft 5 member of our group managed!
    The hosts provided all the information we needed and when there were a few snags they were quick to respond.
    We used the recommended chef - Simon Smith - and on NYE he dropped off a 3 course meal for us with canapés and all the instructions which were easy to follow to get it ready to serve. Super simple and very tasty.
    Plenty of great walks straight from the cottage and the pub next door is lovely.
    We had a great week - so thank you.
