The Smithy - what our guests say ...

Thank you Sally for a lovely relaxing week. The cream tea was delicious. We visited so many lovely places and of course with the help of Sally found lovely country pubs & delicious food. This was alast minute break for us and our little dog.

Lovely quiet base! From the welcoming cream tea the place felt like home. Sally there if you needed any information on the area, and giving you the freedom of her garden and wood. We spent the week, relaxing, walking the moors and reading. Did go to Tavistock when weather was a bit iffy, Also did Lydford NT. Lovely walk between waterfall and Cauldron. Glad we found The Smithy.

Thank you Sally and Christopher for another perfect week in your lovely cottage. Harry (the dog) has had so much fun in the field and walking on the moors and then to be able to relax in the afternoons in your beautiful garden is so nice. Hope to see you next year.

December 2024

A bit wet windy and gloomy out there but we've sure been cosy in here. What a wonderful little cottage, and the recommended circular walk to the village was a delight-Christmas lights everywhere and silent roads. We'll come again in the sunshine. We've really appreciated the excellent communication with Sally.
