Would be more than happy to return and stay here again if visiting the area

Perfect for us with very comfy bed and bedroom , room to relax on sofa in separate room for breakfast and evening with essential wifi of course too. Parking right at the door so no long walk through endless corridors with heavy bags. Just a very short walk to the lovely riverside path for an early morning stroll.

Home from home

As a stay away for work I found the accommodation was found to be a standard to better than some high end hotels I have stayed in for work. Overall the accommodation, facilities and staff were 2nd to none.

Highly recommended

Great location, warm and comfortable. The hosts went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable and able to meet our needs, especially as we were both vegetarian.

Good value for money, an excellent find

The Smiddy was spotlessly clean. Every thing we needed was there. Excellent continental breakfast. More than we could eat

Best place I’ve stayed yet as far hands down plus location was simply awesome.

I loved everything, from booking, access to property, communication, breakfast selection. The place was amazing & offered so much comfort & space. It was the best sleeps ever, bathroom facilities awesome - I was sad to leave to be honest, it was a perfect little sanctuary / haven, so comfortable & relaxing and beautifully decorated. I’ll be back for sure and would highly recommend.
