General info
- The Smithy, as the name implies, is a tastefully converted former Smithy near Beaumaris with a datestone of 1811. Records show a Smithy in Llanfaes from the early 16th Century so it is assumed 1811 is a 'modernisation' date.
It was converted to a high quality holiday home in around 1985, just before it was acquired by the current owners who have continued to improve and update the Grade 2 listed cottage to its beautifully appointed standard.The Smithy is situated in the quiet hamlet of Llanfaes that is about 1 mile from Beaumaris on the Island of Anglesey, North Wales.The accommodation comprises of a family living kitchen with log burning stove, cosy two seater settee and wall mounted flatscreen television. Off the kitchen is a utility room with fridge freezer, dishwasher and washer/ dryer. The main living room is approximately 650 sq.ft and measures circa 30 feet to the eaves with exposed beams and timber boarded ceiling. It has a vast inglenook fireplace and a large log burning stove.The master bedroom is approached via a spiral staircase that is accessed onto a gallery overlooking the lounge.

Visitors comments
- A selection of comments, straight from the visitors book:
“The Smithy provides the perfect setting for a week’s exploration of Anglesey. The house is beautifully restored and very spacious. On a cold day, the large fireplace was the main attraction and hours were spent reading and relaxing in the conservatory. If you get there first, make sure you bag the main bedroom which is absolutely outstanding. We definitely plan to return!" Christina Savage, Manchester
- “Very well equipped warm comfortable cottage”
- “This is our 5th visit to The Smithy – everything was just as we left it, only better. The new conservatory is lovely, the kitchen (especially the griddle!) just right, and at the end of the day to wallow in that lovely Victorian bath – bliss!”
