Everything about The Old Smithy was perfect. We loved the peaceful location about a 30 min walk into Beaumaris, which is a lovely town. The cottage itself was gorgeous, cosy, incredibly well equipped and suited our every need.It has been renovated over the years since it's original use as a smithy but still has amazing charm with all the decor and furnishings in keeping with an old cottagey feel.Stuart, the owner, was extremely helpful without being intrusive and I could tell he's rightly proud of the place. We would all love to come back and stay for another visit
