The Smithy Cottage

The Smithy is a characterful stone cottage set on a 40-acre farm at Betws-yn-Rhos, near Abergele on the North Wales coast. Full of warmth and country charm, with a wood burner and a garden, it sleeps up to six and makes a peaceful, away-from-it-all base within easy reach of the seaside, the castles of the north coast and the mountains of Snowdonia.
