The Old Smithy

Lovely cottage getting to it was difficult due to the lanes and sat nav not working correctly all roads around that just very small lanes dirt tracks no surface and unnamed.

The only thing in the cottage was the hob plate difficult to understand due to it being a induction although Mary the host had left instructions still very difficult. Mary the host was very lovely. Would not go there again due to where the cottage was located. Cottage very clean and spacious. .

Luppitt.

Very twisting country lanes. Sat navigation took us all over the place before we found our destination. I suggest putting Luppitt village hall in sat nav... it's just round the corner from there.. Accommodation was amazing, you want for nothing, everything provided was quality; a clean spacious property. Would go back .

A delightful cottage.

With everything needed for an enjoyable holiday. Mary was helpful and friendly. Idyllic

A delightful, comfortable, and very well-equipped property.

The location is very quiet and rural but Honiton isn't far and the coast easily accessible. I had a wonderful time and would love to return!

This was a return visit for us to The Old Smithy at Luppitt and we were not disappointed.

The cottage was clean and tidy and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well equipped and both sofa and bed comfortable. The owner, Mary, was close to hand next door and very helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend this cottage to family and friends.

The Old Smithy, in our opinion is a five star rating.

Arriving at the property each day after visiting the area was a delight, especially as the weather was far from favourable. If you want a quiet place in the country to relax and yet have a base from which to visit Devon and the surrounding area this is ideal.

The Old Smithy is one of the best cottages that we have stayed in.

Everything that we look for in holiday accommodation was provided to the highest standard. The owner, Mrs Hill, was available and friendly without being intrusive.

Extremely well presented and comfortable accommodation with everything provided to meet our needs.

Mary was very welcoming and went the extra mile to make sure all was well. We will certainly be recommending it to friends and family.

It was one of the best cottages we have stayed in we were given a warm welcome and it was very well equipped we would definitely go back and would happily recommend it everything was spotless

A beautiful cottage, well worth the drive down narrow country lane which is only a mile from the main road.

Everything was perfect and had all you needed for a comfortable stay. Lovely quality furnishings and comfy bed. It was very peaceful and cosy. Mrs Hill is a lovely host, and Beattie the dog too!! We would definitely recommend and stay again in the future. Thank you so much

Fantastic property.

Everything a person could need for a break. The property was spotless. Flowers on the table. Milk in the fridge. Cake in the tin. We were surprised by the size and character of the old smithy. Probably the quietest place I've ever been.Parking was interesting but only because our car is small. Honiton, less than 15 minutes away has everything, eating out, supermarkets. Picked a good week for rain. Properly relaxing. Would like to go again when it's not raining.

The nicest holiday cottage we have ever stayed in.

Spotless, extremely well equipped and so peaceful. Snooker/table tennis room a bonus. Mary is a delightful hostess. We would recommend without hesitation. Sorry to leave.

Great cottage, Well decorated and with all the things you need.

The host is very friendly and gave us advice on things to do. It is located in a very small village, Luppit, a bit further away from larger cities than suspected. So you need to drive a lot. The house is beautifully done. We have no complaint. Just a remark about the bathroom. I am 6 foot 2 and that was not comfortable.

Really lovely holiday and an ideal place for a couple to stay.

Very comfortable and convenient for so many places to visit.

We had the most enjoyable week at The Old Smithy.

Nestled in the beautiful Devon countryside the cottage had everything you could possibly need and was like a home from home. The welcome home made cake was delicious too. The cottage is situated within easy reach of the coastline and many inland attractions and would certainly recommend it.

This was our third stay at The Od Smithy and we enjoyed our break.

The Old Smithy is very homely and comfortable and a good base for what the area has to offer. Alan and Ali Varey

Very happy with the inside, A lot of cobwebs along the inside of the bedroom curtain rail.

The photo used on the website is out dated, due to the maintenance of the grounds as the garden is very over grown. So we coud not park our car with difficulty in the allocated drive way, The entrance door way to the property, where the thatch edging above the door way is completely covered in a huge amounts of spider webs, as somebody who has a fear of spiders found this to be extremely concerning. So this did not give us very good 1st impressions from the outside. But from the inside of the property there was everything you would need for your stay.

The property had everything that you require for a comfortable stay.

All items in the cottage were of a good quality and comfortable. The cottage was clean and tidy. We especially enjoyed the homemade cake, tea and milk and picked flowers were a nice touch. If you want to get away from all the noise this is the perfect place to stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Old Smithy.

Beautiful cottage & surroundings. Peaceful & relaxing break. Couldn’t ask for more. Lanes tight but really not as bad as we expected. Couldn’t find the washing machine and the nettles etc do need cutting back at the rear where the car is parked. Overall, fabulous place and our host Mrs Hill’s welcome of cake & advice was much appreciated. Thank you.

We absolutely loved the property.

A great location (if tricky down some narrow lanes :) The cottage was roomy, stylish, and great to relax in Secluded, but in a perfect way

A little gem of a property in the countryside, if its peace and quiet you want this is the place and with local tourist spots and walks within easy reach by car, you couldn't ask for more.

The whole property was very roomy, comfy and clean and would highly recommend.

My husband and I had a lovely stay here.

The cottage is very clean & comfortable. The only negative for myself is the step into the bathroom was very deep which with me having mobility issues I ordered a step on amazon prime to use while we were there. There are other steps into the kitchen but they were manageable ( for me). So if anyone is disabled, consider the steps, as although it's all on one level there are quite a few steps to negotiate. Fresh milk and cake awaited our arrival which was very welcome. The road to the cottage is very very narrow and winding so be prepared foe that also. If you love the countryside and being in the middle of nowhere , this is the place for you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend the old smithy. The owner being next door was no problem, our Privacy was respected completely. We were sorry we missed the owner on the day we left to say goodbye. The wildlife surrounding the property is lovely, often hearing owls at night and deer jumping out in front of us as we drove. 100% recommended for a peaceful holiday. Rosie & Nick

Beautiful cottage, very comfortable and with everything you you need.

Spotlessly clean and Mary was very friendly and helpful, we appreciated the fresh flowers and cake on arrival.

Everything we needed was available in the cottage.

A very extensive information folder available in the cottage. Mary was very welcoming. We had a wonderful relaxing week & highly recommend the cottage.

This was our second trip to The Old Smithy, we returned because we found the place so comfortable and an ideal base for relaxing.

My wife and I were impressed with the setting of The Old Smithy and how well it had been renovated. Plenty to see and do not too far away whatever your tastes are. I am sure we will be back for a third visit.

A lovely cottage in the countryside.

Owner very friendly and helpful. We'll equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed. Spacious lounge diner.

Clean and cozy.

Great hospitality!

Very comfortable and well maintained property.

Nothing at all to comment on, or to criticise

An excellent cottage in every way.

Looked after to the highest standard. Immaculate, comfortable, well equipped, and very welcoming. We had nice weather too which made a big difference.

Lovely cottage bigger than it appears in photos.

Nice and cool to come home to in this very hot weather. Really comfortable big bed. Close to lots of interesting places to see.

Very comfortable and secluded.

Left to our own devices which was much appreciated.

A lovely cottage!

The property was both clean and comfortable and one of the best we have stayed in. It was well situated for visits to The Donkey Sanctuary at Sidmouth, RHS Rosemoor and Forde Abbey as well as shopping in Honiton. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

The Old Smithy is set in a beautiful location and doesn't disappoint its lovely inside with everything you need for a wonderful break.

Great walks from the door and just a short car journey to so many other lovely places Thank you Mary we really enjoyed our stay

The Old Smithy is a beautiful, well-appointed cottage deep in the Devon countryside.

Surrounded by the Blackdown Hills, the cottage is in a spectacular location and befriended by both cows and alpacas in the adjacent fields. If you value peace, quiet and proximity to nature, the Old Smithy is the place to stay. The owner, Mrs Mary Hill, couldn't be more friendly or helpful and welcomed us to the cottage with lemon drizzle cake. The cottage is however remote and the approach is a little nerve-racking when arriving for the first time, especially if you follow a satnav which takes you down lanes not much wider than the width of a car! We would happily visit again and recommend the cottage for a very peaceful stay.

A very pleasant stay, but we would suggest more signage on route to the cottage, as quite difficult to find if it is your first visit.

Otherwise it was wonderful.

The Old Smithy was a superb base for a great holiday.

Very well set out and comfortable.

A delightful thatched cottage hidden away behind high hedges and tall trees, The Old Smithy is a peaceful refuge from the hurly burly of gridlocked motorways and life in general.

Without doubt it is faultless; everything you need is here, and we would have returned one day had I not been poorly the day before we left. The situation had the potential to be extremely awkward for Mary, indeed for us all. This was one occasion where an isolated cottage was far from ideal.

The cottage is located in a beautiful village in Devon.

It has a terrace outside with patio table/chairs and parasol-the perfect place for eating outside and enjoying the sounds of the countryside.The interior is very modern,comfortable and cosy.The kitchen is well equipped and much larger than the typical kitchen found in 1 bedroom cottage.I will definitely recommend a stay in this cottage to family& friends.

What a fantastic place.

Peaceful setting in rural Idyll. A wonderful experience. Will be rebooking for a return visit.

A really delightful holiday cottage, wanting for nothing!

We stayed during a really hot week and it was so cool and airy. Would recommend to anyone! Many thanks

We had a wonderful time at the Old Smithy.

The cottage was beautifully decorated with all mod cons and was set in a stunning location. If you're looking for a peaceful relaxing stay where you can wake up to the sound of bird song instead of traffic noise, this is the place to be. We loved it and would definitely visit again in future. Thank you!

Great host property was as we wanted a bit isolated but was exactly what we were looking for.

Lovely comfortable cottage, very well equipped, friendly owner.

The downside is that is it a bit remote, but that does mean it is wonderfully quiet and peaceful. We had a really nice break here and would recommend it.

The cottage is very comfortable & has everything you might possibly need but it is remote with no shops or places to eat in walking distance.

We are oldies & found driving along the single tracks to/from the cottage to the main road very stressful, especially when a vehicle came the other way, so we left 3 nights early to visit family a couple of hours away. Our fault we should have read the Sykes reviews before we booked as someone else did mention the roads are a little hairy.

An amazing property.

Please thank the owner (Mary) for making us welcome and accommodating our interest in birds by filling the feeders every day.

Our second visit to The Old Smithy.

Absolutely delightful place to stay.. Total peace and tranquility abound here. Cottage is first class with everything you need and a very comfortable bed and great shower. Easy parking outside cottage. Mary Hill is lovely. 11 out of 10 for sure.

We had a lovely stay with all the home comforts.

The area is beautiful with lots of stunning views from every window. We will definitely be back.

AN EXCELLENT PROPERTY OWNER VERY FREINDLY BUT NOT INTRUSIVE.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS THERE WOULDSTRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY

Superb thatched cottage.

Very spacious and immaculately presented. An absolute gem in a beautiful tranquil setting in the heart of Devon countryside. A great base to explore the many delightful towns and villages both inland and along the stunning Jurassic coast. We received a warm welcome from our friendly and welcoming host Mary who made us feel very much at home. We would strongly recommend this property.

Superb cottage in stunning location.

Absolutely perfect. Very clean, very comfortable bed, good shower and everything we needed. Such a feel good place to stay in.

Mary Hill is an excellent host

A beautiful cottage, even nicer than the description and a wonderful host.

Mary is a very good host.

The kitchen in very well provided for. Lovely patio area for drinks outside, weather allowing. Would only mention the single chairs, are not that comfortable, although the settee is. The roads to the cottage are a little hairy, until you get used to them, but that is Devon and Cornwall roads anyway.

Fantastic cottage beautiful position with exceptional host.

If you are looking for a quiet cottage in the countryside,look no further.

Lovely cottage home from home every thing you need beautiful country side just wat we needed after the last year

This was home from home.

Everything we needed was provided, it was spotlessly clean, was very relaxing and quiet, well located and reasonably priced.

superb cottage in a lovely setting .

had a great holiday. very helpful owners

Accurate description of premises, excellent facilities and friendly and helpful owners.

Excellent position for exploring Devon. We would certainly return.

The cottage was exactly how described but with added extras like air fresheners in bathroom and foil etc in kitchen (you don’t get these in every cottage) Setting was wonderful as it was deep in the countryside and we could see the cows in the field from the lounge window.

Owners were friendly without being intrusive

The Old Smithy was very clean and new.

The bed was extremely comfortable and the house was warm and cosy. The owner had provided milk and home made cake on our arrival. The kitchen was a home from home with loads of equipment. Everything was excellent, we even had Wi-Fi and Sky TV. The local area is safe and very quiet with views of the, hills, farmland and sheep. The location is good for access to Honiton, the south coast and the moors. We visited, Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth, Seaton and Beer to the south. Okehampton and Tavistock to the west in Dartmoor. There are lots of walks near the Smithy in the Blackdown Hills. I would highly recommend The Old Smithy for couples who like to get away from the town for a while.
