My wife and I have just stayed in The Blacksmiths Cottage for 3 nights and found it a beautiful serene location for some much needed down time . Loved the old world homely feel and the gorgeous wood heater. Great furniture and decor. The bed was super comfy. We had some wonderful mild weather for the start of winter so we enjoyed breakfast on the deck on 2 out of the 3 days. A short stroll through the farm beside the river to the beach. There are no laundry facilities due to water supply issues particularly in the summer months so my only advice would be to take extra towels if you like a fresh one each day . We hope to return in the not too distant future. A truely lovely spot steeped in history. A visit to the Saltworks reserve and beach a short distance away is recommended.
