The Smithy is a charming and cosy cottage praised for its idyllic location in Croyde, close to stunning beaches and local amenities. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, and the quaint character of the property, including a log burner for a relaxing stay.

Cleanliness
Guests consistently describe the cottage as clean, with specific mentions of crisp white bed linen and a well-presented interior. The property's cleanliness contributes positively to the overall experience.
Location
The location is highly praised for its proximity to beaches, restaurants, and local shops. The convenience of a nearby pub and the inclusion of a parking space further enhance the appeal of the cottage's location.
Comfort
The cottage is frequently described as cosy and comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed. However, some guests mention the property can be a bit dark inside, and the temperamental shower detracts slightly from the comfort score.
Facilities
The well-equipped kitchen and the inclusion of a log burner are appreciated, but there are several mentions of a temperamental shower and the absence of a dryer, which affects the facilities score.
Thoughtfulness
Guests mention thoughtful touches like biscuits, milk, and tea, which contribute to a welcoming atmosphere. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, they are a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.
