"Thank you for such a wonderful stay at The Smithy, a cosy, clean and quiet base to explore Anglesey!"
We loved our stay so much, the children loved feeding the ducks, exploring the grounds and visiting multiple beaches that were only ever 10 mins drive away. We can’t wait to visit and stay at The Smithy again!

"Had a lovely stay at The Smithy."
Owners very friendly and helpful, and we loved the resident ducks! Despite a rather wet week, we managed to get out and about exploring the island. Wonderful wildlife including Red Squirrels and a wide variety of birds, making it a peaceful and enjoyable break that we would highly recommend.

"What an amazing stay!"
The cottage is gorgeous, it has everything you could need, beds are super comfy, gardens and views are really beautiful and peaceful. The owners, Helen and Rick were so friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make our stay the best. My daughter is autistic and loved the peaceful location. Helen recommended a quiet beach for her which was fab. Absolutely would recommend staying here to families, we will be returning soon.

"Lovely little cottage, just enough space for 4 small children."
Amazing outdoor space, very well maintained, thoughtful touches like outdoor games and hammocks to use outside. Owners were very friendly and welcoming and were on site for any problems (there wasn't any!). Well-equipped kitchen including dishwasher. Access to washing machine facilities was a bonus. Overall, a wonderful stay. Thank you.

"What a lovely hidden gem of a place to stay."
Our hosts Helen and Rick were amazing! The Smithy is an extremely well kept little cottage surrounded by beautiful countryside. Very comfortable with all the home away from home kit you would expect. An ideal location for getting around Anglesey. Would highly recommend. Thanks Helen and Rick. We wish you all the best.

"Lovely comfortable little cottage, very clean, with everything you need, excellent quality in everything."
Beautiful garden. Really pleased they had an electric car charger, saved worry about finding places to charge when we were out and about. We loved seeing red squirrels at Nant-y-pandy, the cliffs and seabirds at South Stack, and the huge beach & woods at Newborough. Hope to come back soon!

"I had a wonderful relaxed stay at The Smithy, with everything I needed to make me feel at home."
It’s in wonderful tranquil setting, only a short drive to the coast and easy to travel to other places of interest. Everyone is so friendly on the island, which is reassuring when travelling solo.
-
"We had a great stay here and really pleased we found it :) Helen and Rick the hosts were really lovely and welcoming and helped wherever possible."
The cottage is lovely, very clean and very well maintained. The garden around is also lovely and we enjoyed watching the ducks! It's in a very handy location fot reaching all parts of the island so we enjoyed visiting most parts of Angelsey. I hope to be back and I'd definitely recommend staying here to others :)
-
"What wonderful hosts, providing information about places to go and things to see as and when needed."
They were always on hand but not at all intrusive. If you want somewhere to rest and relax I cannot recommend it highly enough. The Smithy contained everything we needed to make our stay both comfortable and enjoyable.

"We had a brilliant stay over bank holiday weekend, the beds were so comfy, cottage had everything we needed, the views were beautiful and the baby loved exploring the grounds and feeding the lovey ducks in the morning."
It’s a great base to explore Anglesey and the hosts were lovely, had a good chat, made some recommendations on places to go and made a good fuss over the baby (she loves being fussed haha)

"We have just returned from a lovely clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage."
Helen and Rick were excellent hosts. We enjoyed our stay in the cottage, which was set in beautiful grounds, unfortunately we did not see a red squirrel, but we did see plenty of birds.

"Lovely well equipped cottage The owners Helen and Rick could not be more welcoming or helpful."
Set in its own grounds which you are free to wander around red squirrels just outside kitchen window. We have stayed in many cottages over the years and this is definitely one of the best. Highly recommend. Ann

-
"Helen and Rick are lovely hosts and highly recommend."
-
"We would throughly recommend this cosy comfortable cottage which is situated in beautiful grounds with far reaching countryside views."
Rick and Helen are warm and friendly hosts and nothing seemed too much trouble for them, from starting up a freezer for us to showing us around their gardens, bringing us deckchairs, and even some home grown rhubarb! We loved the herbs growing outside each cottage and the summer house. It was a most convenient base for completing our walk around Anglesey.
-
"Absolutely fantastic and really really spotlessly clean."
A very warm welcome from Helen and Rick. Stayed for a week but could’ve stayed for a month it was that good. Don’t hesitate to book the smithy because you won’t regret it.
-
"Fantastic place to stay, nice and ‘out of the way’ but not far to drive to some lovely locations."
The cottage is beautiful, only draw backs being that by it’s nature it is quite compact so my tall (6ft4) other half found it awkward to stand and use toilet (sloping roof made it tricky to get close enough). The downstairs soft seating is 2 seater sofa that can squeeze a 3rd, single soft chair and beanbag, no issue for us as the kids were more than happy to settle on the bean bag. Perhaps worth considering a small shoe rack just inside the front door. We would not hesitate to come back! The hosts, grounds and cottage are wonderful! Thank you
-
"A fabulous cottage in a fabulous setting."
Everything that we hoped for. A lot of work must go in to keeping the cottages so inviting and homely. The owners Helen and Rick were very friendly and always on hand to help with anything. Deri Fawr had a really welcoming atmosphere. Delighted to finally see a red squirrel along with all the other wildlife, including a woodpecker. Would definitely go back if we visit Anglesey again.

"We had a great stay at The Smithy."
The setting was beautiful and peaceful. All the family enjoyed our stay especially having an evening BBQ. The owners were so friendly and thoughtful. We'd definately stay again.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Smithy, The Cottage is quaint, well equipped, clean and in the most beautiful location."
It is a wonderful experience to wake up to woodpeckers on the tree outside, rabbits and bunnies outside the living room window and regular visits for the resident ducks. The cottage is well located to explore the whole of Anglesey. Would highly recommend this cottage. The owners Helen and Rick are always on hand and happy to help with anything or just to chat to. Thank you.

"I booked the "Smithy" for a suprise birthday for my other half."
Beautiful accommodation slightly bigger than expected and very comfortable. The hosts Helen and Rick are really lovely and made sure that we had everything we needed and advised of places that we were'nt aware of and are very knowledgable of the area. The upkeep of the grounds and gardens you can see the hard work they put in and guests are rewarded with amazing wildlife by the many bird feeders. We had rabbits running pass the cottage and 3 waddling ducks came to greet us each morning. Would be brilliant for families & perfectly central location to see all parts of Anglesey. I will definately recommend them and they have a facebook page Deri Fawr Holiday Cottages and Caravans. A very peaceful and relaxing holiday.

The Smithy cottage was very cosy and enough space for the 3 of us who stayed there for 5 nights. Lovely owners Helen and Rick who made us feel very welcome and not to forget their lovely ducks that's were a joy to watch waddling around the land ! Would highly recommend and we will definitely return very soon

"This was a very relaxing countryside experience."
We really felt as though we were miles away. Unexpectedly, we found we were very close to the coast and it was a pleasure to just go out for a ramble round. Loved it.
-
"Lovely hosts, exceptional location A++"
-
"We only had a short 2 night holiday, booked at short notice."
We were made very welcome on arrival by the owners. They were very accommodating and went the extra mile to lend us a laptop when we had a pressing work commitment to complete. Great location for exploring Anglesey. We hope to return.
