The Smithy

Had a lovely 3 nights at this lovely property. Stayed in the The Horseshoe annexe, it was spacious, spotlessly clean and very well equipped and had a perfect covered patio to relax on, whatever the weather. Huge comfortable bed and the underfloor heating ensured you were comfy and relaxed. Chris and Christine were superb hosts, friendly and helpful. t]The breakfasts were terrific, with plenty of choice, the scrambled egg was the best I have ever eaten. Parking was good and the location was a perfect base to explore the area and a short drive into Hay on Wye and all it has to offer. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a very well run B & B in a beautiful setting.

We stayed at the Smithy for 6 nights in "The Horseshoe". From the moment we arrived we felt very welcome. Chris and Christine are excellent hosts and have provided high-end accommodation. We loved the view from our room and it was spotlessly clean with everything we could need. The breakfasts are to die for! Such a fantastic choice and generous portions. Loved the fruit plate which we enjoyed each day. They were helpful in giving us tips as to where to visit locally which we found very useful. Would highly recommend.

We recently stayed two nights at The Smithy to attend a wedding locally, and can not fault anything. The attention to detail was very good from the supply of complimentary toiletries, fresh milk and water for use in your room, usb port and wifi in the bedroom. The breakfast was amazing with lots of choice. Also the hosts were very friendly.

We booked to stay here having read the great reviews and it even exceeded our expectations. We stayed in the Horseshoe Annexe, which is a separate building with its own private garden and wonderful views over the valley. The annexe was blissfully quiet, very spacious with its own kitchenette, was very well equipped, and was immaculately clean. There was a great selection at breakfast, which was perfectly cooked. The hosts were very charming and helpful, but also unobtrusive. The Smithy is very well positioned for exploring the beautiful countryside and is the prefect place to stay.

We were on a charity cycle ride and Chris made us very welcome as we passed through Hay on Wye. Lovely room, great facilities with everything you could think of , even a USB port by the bed. Delicious breakfast, some helpful advice on where to buy cake and a group photo - and we were on our way! Thank you Chris and Christine!

Beautiful, clean comfortable place to stay with fabulous garden and views. The breakfast was phenomenal- delicious, fresh, local produce and huge portions. We would love to stay again! Such friendly hosts!
