    There’s nothing I didn’t like about it

    The garden is beautiful and I enjoyed sitting at the top for my cuppas and looking at the view. It’s a very relaxing place to stay, and it’s lovely to look outside the patio doors to see the lovely water feature. We’ve booked again for feb, and I’d absolutely love to see the garden in spring/summer, so we will definitely be booking for that season too! The bread left was delicious!! Lovely place to stay! The cottage was beautiful and clean, and I can’t wait to stay again! Thank you :)

    Nothing to dislike. We thought No. 1 The Smithy is a great space, particularly for a couple, to stay in.

    No. 1 The Smithy is an excellent property to stay in and comes with the use of a large garden space. The hosts go above and beyond to make you comfortable and provide additional supplies, such as breakfast, toiletries, and the kitchen is stocked with items such as cooking oil, kitchen roll, tin foil, things which you would normally have to bring or buy yourself. Communication before and during our stay was brilliant and we were automatically given local information to enhance our visit. We were very impressed and have never experienced such attention to detail anywhere else we have stayed.

    Nothing, Everything was perfect.

    The cottage is in an ideal location with easy links to Chester, Wales, and Liverpool. There are plenty of restaurants, pubs, and cafes in the area. The cottage is spacious and very clean, with lots of extra touches and luxuries. Everything is furnished to a very high standard. The Great hosts provided us with everything we needed for a relaxing stay, including high quality ingrediants for full English breakfasts, cereals, chocolate biscuits, and more. The large, beautiful private garden has amazing views of the Welsh mountains, several seating areas, hammock, and bbq.
