What a beautiful place to spend a romantic New Year. Blacksmiths Cottage is well equipped and the owners are so very welcoming. We were grateful for the generous hamper on arrival. Close enough to supermarkets, pubs and restaurants but secluded enough to get away from it all and snuggle up in front of a gorgeous log fire. We will definitley be back.
