My little family and I stayed at the Blacksmith's Cottage for two nights to celebrate my birthday. The cottage was exactly as described and pictured, check in was easy and all communication with Katherine was a breeze. The weather was quite hot (by Tassie standards) but it was lovely and cool inside the cottage. The beach is an easy two minute stroll across the paddock and a further five or so minutes to the old wharf. The outlook from the cottage onto the rivulet is lovely, we ate every meal outside on the deck to take in the view and serenity. As described in the listing the stairs are quite steep leading up to the bedrooms so this place would not be suited to those with mobility issues or young children. Our girls (7 and 10) had no issues what so ever with the stairs. The beds were really comfy and everything was spotless. The recliner chairs and couch made our stay even more comfortable. As stated in previous reviews, it is best to make sure you take your food with you as Swansea is a good 10-15 minute drive away. If you have the time do visit 'Kate's Berry Farm' which is on the way into Swansea from Lisdillon, it can get extremely busy with tourists but it's well worth visiting. We can't fault our stay at the Blacksmith's Cottage at all and we hope to stay again one day, next time we'll come more prepared with fishing gear, we could see fish splashing about in the rivulet from the house!
Thanks again Katherine :)
