Blacksmiths Cottage is lovely. The location is peaceful, private and beautifully maintained. The cottage is thoughtfully equipped, tastefully decorated, clean, cosy and comfortable. The hosts provide a warm welcome and are super helpful and friendly! We enjoyed our visit immensely. The cottage is fantastically located for exploring the Welsh Marches, and there are some superb restaurants to be found. We had some breathtaking (in both senses) walks and explored gorgeous towns, villages and famous landmarks.

A beautiful place to stay. Such a calm and peaceful setting. Cottage was perfect with everything you could possibly need. Very welcoming and friendly hosts. An abundance of birds to listen for and spot, such as tree creepers, nuthatch and swallows nesting there. Also bats and hedgehogs.
