About this property
Idyllic riverside location
Formally the village blacksmiths, the Smithy is a two-storey cottage sitting on the banks of the River Lugg. Situated halfway between Hereford and Leominster, and a short walk away from England's Gate Inn, the Smithy is an ideal base for exploring the beautiful Herefordshire countryside, its market towns and the City of Hereford itself. The accommodation briefly comprises: double and twin bedroom upstairs; shower room, fully fitted kitchen and sitting room downstairs; French windows opening to the riverside garden. Guests at the Smithy have access to the 'beach' area directly next to the River Lugg where they may fish, paddle or simply relax! The Smithy also benefits from: ample off-road parking; free Wi-Fi. The Forge at Bodenham, consists of four properties, the Smithy, the Granary, the Old Stables and the Hayloft, all of which are available to rent on a self-catering basis.
