The Glamping Pod at the Smithy was excellent in a every way - very well equipped & comfortable, spotlessly clean & very cosy. The location is beautiful & the sheep and poultry on the small-holding add to the rural feel of the place. The hosts are lovely & make you feel very welcome. We had a wonderful time & would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.
