    There was nothing we didn’t like about the property. I would say though as the cottage is located on a busy main road if you are a light sleeper then ear plugs may be a bonus as you can hear the traffic. We both sleep like the dead so it wasn’t an issue for us.

    The cottage is spacious, clean, comfortable and modern with everything you need for a quiet, relaxing break away. Just a stones throw away from the pub where the food is amazing and the hosts really friendly and helpful. There is a canal and lock at the back of the cottage which is really picturesque with the rolling hills in the distance.

    I would have liked to be a bit further from the road. It is set back behind the pub, so not too bad but I am quite sensitive to noise.

    The property is a lovely converted barn, very handy for staying overnight when travelling. I was welcomed very warmly when I went to pick up the keys from the pub next door. I didn't have time to eat but the pub was cosy and friendly. In the morning I realised that there is a canal and nature reserve just by the property which was nice to discover. I was only there for one night whilst travelling and it was ideal ,spacious, clean and everything I needed. It is just of the main road but the noise wasn't too bad with the windows closed but if you are staying for a while and want quiet another place might be better.

    We were a bit disappointed when we went for a drink in the Horseshoe. As all the tables were booked for meals and as we only wanted a drink we had to sit outside. There were no facilities for just getting a drink and sitting inside.

    The location was perfect for us. The cottage had excellent facilities

    Traffic a bit noisy for me but I,m a light sleeper. Probably wouldnt,t bother most people. I could get from the gravel to the grass area ok, but it would be good for some steps for older people.

    Comfy bed, quality furniture, spacious cottage, hot water lovely shower. Nice to be able to see when you get up in the night (security safety lights). Towels n shampoo provided, plus every you need in the kitchen. Comfy sofa for lazing on. Nice to have a garden area and private place to park. Home from home :-)

    Nothing to dislike!!

    Everything about Smithy Cottage!! We loved the layout, facilities, and furnishings; providing all that we needed for a relaxing break. It's probably one of the best self-catering homes we have encountered so far.

    Better glazing to hide the noise of traffic along the A483, and a firmer mattress for a better nights sleep.

    Clean and simple accommodation well positioned along the A483, with very good pub food available only a stones throw away at the inn. Pleasant walks along the Montgomery canal available just to the rear of the cottage.

    There is some road noise and you are next to a lively pub but not a problem.

    A purpose built cottage next to a pub which served good food, convenient location for Powis castle, with a canal path 30 seconds away. Made a change from a hotel room. The staff were all friendly.

    Struggled to use TV as no instruction and I am not good with tech stuff. Windows needed curtains as well as blinds to keep out early morning sunlight

    Gorgeous location backing on to a canal with fab walks along the river. Behind the pub so great for an evening meal but far enough away to be quiet
