The Smithy is a beautiful, comfy, snuggly self contained little cottage. Everything you need is there. Tucked away it's very quite, with many great walks nearby. It is also a brilliant base to explore the Northumberland area. A shirt drive for shops and amenities. The white swan in Ovingham is definitely worth a visit for food, very busy, however very welcoming and accommodating. Food has a massive range so much my friend and I took ages to chose and it did not disappoint. I made a mistake in my leaving date thinking I had an extra night. The owners were so kind and helpful. There to help with anything you need, but not at all intrusive. Maybe I just just didn't want to leave such a great place. Ould advise anyone to book. You do have to park away from the property, but it's not a problem, you can unload and then park. Locals were also very welcoming and friendly. Book soon, don't miss out.

All the information provided by the property owners was ideal for explaining how to get to the smithy. Location was lovely, looks like some great walks round and about but due to the storm it wasn’t an ideal opportunity. Property was lovely and cosy, great sized bedroom and bathroom. Lovely cosy sitting room and huge kitchen. Only small issue we had was getting our car parked, owners had explained that we could pull up to the property unload our luggage and then park at the bottom of the lane. No spaces were available when we arrived, we couldn’t pull the car up the lane due to a car parked awkwardly at the bottom but this didn’t spoil our stay.

We visited The Smithy having booked a last minute week away. A fantastic cottage, well equipped, lovely and clean and we will certainly be booking again. A wonderful part of the UK with beaches that beat Cornwall and Devon with their miles and miles of clean sand.

A nice cottage for 2 people to stay and explore the surrounding area.It has everything you need for a comfortable holiday. The host's Phil and Kate are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. We only met them later on as they had been away and they made sure everything was ok for our stay.
