The Smithy

1849 is no longer with us

If you were looking for cottages like The Smithy, how about trying these:

This delightful former working forge provides a lovely base for couples. Spacious and light, with views over rolling farmland to the rear, The Smithy is set beside the road leading past the National Trust’s popular Trelissick Gardens to the edge of the River Fal, where the King Harry Ferry will take you across to the sandy beaches, tree-lined creeks and coastal walks of the Roseland peninsula. The single-storey detached accommodation happily mixes leather sofas and a contemporary wood-burner with antique furniture and beautiful old prints. The bedroom has painted wooden floorboards and a cream metal bedstead, giving the room a Shaker-style air, and original wooden shutters can be opened into the kitchen/diner, surely an encouragement for breakfast in bed! To the side of the property is a level, enclosed garden. There is easy access to the Cathedral City of Truro and the rugged north coast, a short car journey away, offers surfing beaches and clifftop walks.
