Wonderful hospitality. Great accommodation and very special garden to enjoy. We love the location, so close to our beloved Dartmoor. We will return. Thank you so much Sally and Christopher.

Wonderful cosy cottage, so peaceful, letting you completely relax. The field and wood land great for the first morning walk with Alfie. Thank you for the delicious cream tea and and thank you Sally for being so warm and friendly and helpful.  Great place to stay, thoroughly recommend.

Great accommodation for 2 people and a dog. Now that we have discovered the walk through the woods, (2nd gate downhill on the right) to the stream and back to the field we will have to come again to take maximum advantage, Can recommend the walk up to Bren Tor to the church to the church which is far less taxing than many of the guide books suggest. Nice meal in Peter Tavy Inn. Stanley (the dog) loves the field. Thanks for a wonderful week!

Thank you for a lovely stay. Everything was perfect. The cottage is cosy and spotlessly clean and well equipped. Such a great location on Dartmoor. It was the peaceful retreat that we needed. Christopher and Sally are lovely hosts. That all added up to the perfect week. The cream tea was a lovely welcome too!

Another splendid week at The Smithy as before, perfect in every way. Such lovely welcoming owners: Sally and Christopher. Every provision made for a cosy, comfortable stay. Loved the location re: scenery and walks with our dog and the cottage is wonderful to relax in between outings. Loved the drift of snowdrops everywhere. Thanks for the cream tea and cream, first whilst in Devon! We will miss The Smithy.

A lovely relaxing week. Perfect for the well needed break from work and day to day life!! Brilliant facilities and despite some rain, we have had chance to visit a beautiful part of the world, thank you Sally and Christopher. We have had a great time and loved the cream tea and the marmalade.

Dear Sally and Christopher, it has been perfect for us staying in The Smithy. We have loved staying in your cosy cottage. It has been a busy few days so this has been the perfect retreat.

Another return to a wonderful area. The Smithy, as usual, was perfect, tidy, clean and well located for my week's walking. I had the added bonus of ringing bells before the service at St Michael's. Sally was her usual energetic and helpful self. Long may my visits continue.
