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.

Room was very good. Rather warm, but turning the radiators off and opening the windows sorted that out. A very pleasant stay with the breakfast a 6 mile walk and a light lunch in the pub.
