Guests say
Smithy Barn in Abergele offers a comfortable stay with spacious en-suite bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and a hot tub. Guests appreciate the central location for exploring North Wales and the welcoming hosts. Some minor maintenance issues and cleanliness oversights were noted, but overall, the property provides a pleasant home from home experience.
Guests have reported some cleanliness issues such as cobwebs and limescale on taps. However, these appear to be minor and infrequent, suggesting that the property is generally well-kept.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to North Wales attractions and the beauty of the surrounding countryside. The only drawback mentioned is the local speed limit, which is not a reflection on the property itself.
The property is commended for its comfortable beds and sofa. One issue with a wet-room style ensuite causing a wet floor was mentioned, but overall, guests found the barn to be a cosy retreat.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a fully equipped kitchen and en-suite bathrooms. Some minor criticisms include the need for sharper kitchen knives and the provision of larger towels and bath mats.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Much as we enjoyed our annual family get together we will not be visiting Wales again. Whilst we found enough to visit and keep us occupied this 20 mph speed limit was enough for us to make this decision. thank you vey much for your assistance in making this one of our best visits to Wales.

We had a lovely time staying in Smithy Barn. The location is brilliant for everywhere along the North Wales coast and Snowdonia. The cottage had spacious bedrooms, all en-suite with comfortable beds, though the downstairs bedroom has little storage space. The showers had great pressure, but the wet-room style ensuite in the downstairs bedroom meant the whole bedroom floor got quite wet, and there were no bath mats provided. We bought some, and bigger towels too, as the ones provided were rather small. Really comfortable sofa. The kitchen was very well equipped and we loved the hot tub.
