The Old Smithy, located in the picturesque town of Lynton, Devon, is a charming holiday cottage that accommodates up to five guests with its three well-appointed bedrooms. This unique property, rich in local history, was once a forge operated by Mr. William Prideaux, who claimed to be the oldest blacksmith in the country, working until the remarkable age of 89. The cottage has been lovingly restored to blend its historical significance with contemporary comforts, featuring a spacious open-plan living area adorned with original oak beams and a high vaulted ceiling, creating an inviting atmosphere for relaxation and socializing.
The interior of The Old Smithy is designed for comfort and style, with comfortable sofas surrounding a cozy log burner and a Smart TV, perfect for leisurely evenings. The dining area is spacious enough for family meals, while the well-equipped kitchen caters to all culinary needs.

For those seeking further adventure, the area offers additional attractions such as the glorious surf beaches of Woolacombe and the opportunity to take a ferry to Lundy Island to observe seals and puffins. Back in Lynton, guests can enjoy a round of mini-golf, catch a film at the local cinema, or indulge in a meal at one of the many restaurants.
