We loved our stay.

Really enjoyed our stay in this lovely traditional cottage. The village is lovely, you can buy your essentials from the village shop (Post Office). The cottage is well situated within the village and there are lovely walks nearby. Although the weather was brilliant, the nights were getting chilly so we welcomed the log burner which kept us nice and cosy. The host was on hand with information about the area and advised us about the best places to visit in this beautiful part of the country. The welcome gifts were really appreciated, thank you to the owners. We would stay again.

Aled and the cottage were wonderful. Would highly recommend!

Llandrillo is a beautiful village full of friendly people ready to welcome you. Aled could not have been more friendly and ready to help with any concerns or suggestions. He went out of his way to make sure we were having a great experience. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. It was well placed in the village so visits to the small grocery and pub (Dudley Arms) were convenient. Would highly recommend staying at this VRBO! We had a great time!

Lovely Christmas Break

Really appreciated the Christmas decorations and exceptional welcome pack. Cottage lovely and clean with a little garden, that would have been most practical in more suitable weather. The log burner was superb. Good village shop that was not overpriced for logs. Looked like it was well stocked with most things you could need. The only negative to the whole trip was the permanent closure of the local pub. It was a shame that we could not meet the locals for a chat and a little drink.

Well enjoyed break

Cottage is well equipped, comfortable, warm and cosy. Owner is very nice and caring. He responded immediately to our small concern. Lovely village. Cottage is opposite a lovely restaurant, 3 min walk to pub (which was shut unfortunately....locals fundraising to open it up) 5 min walk to a well stocked Post Office. Parking is on a public carpark, parking is free, 1 min walk from cottage. Owner is laying a carpark space by the cottage which will be more convenient. Would recommend staying here. Very comfortable and homely.

Smithy College Review

The cottage itself was located in a beautiful village surrounded by lovely scenery and walks. It was comfortable, clean and an ideal base to explore other scenic spots for hiking or biking. A welcome back of food and drink awaited us which was most welcome after our long journey. Aled the owner made a point of calling to check that all was well and gave us some recommendations of places to visit. The locals were very friendly and welcoming and made us feel at home. We had some great evenings of chat, singing and craic with them at the local pub that also serves great food. There is also another restaurant in the village that has superb food. We would recommend this location and will go back to visit. Fiona, Donal and Shane

Holiday saver

Besides a very cosy cottage with a great welcome package and very friendly villagers, Al turned out to be our holiday saver when our car broke down on a Sunday evening in the middle of nowhere. He picked us up and arranged the local garage to fix our car the next day. We felt very much at home!

Peaceful stay

We have a dog who is very anxious of loud noises especially fireworks. The cottage and location could not have been better. The cottage is in a lovely village in a farming community so there was no fireworks all week including bonfire night. The cottage itself is well presented and had everything we needed. We will definitely consider staying again.

Family Holiday August 2021

We had a fantastic stay at Smithy Cottage, the owner was lovely and suggested lots of places to visit which we did. Whilst the property is in a small quite remote village, it is near enough to larger towns with everything that you need and only short drives to many beaches. We would highly recommend and definitely visit again.

Perfect location and property

Both practical and generous welcome pack, super comfortable beds and everything you need to be comfortable in this classy cottage. Beautiful and varied walks from the door, set in a pretty and friendly village. We had fantastic weather so also enjoyed the courtyard garden which was a sun trap edged with fragrant flower beds. We enjoyed kayaking, mountain walks in the Berwyn mountains and visiting waterfalls. Could have easily stayed longer as there’s so much to do! Thank you!
