42910 Cottage in Mid Wales, Hay-on-Wye, Abergavenny
Once the village smithy in its time, now sensitively converted into a family home, decorated throughout with paintings and ornaments, the Old Smithy takes you back to a time forgotten. The house has traditional thick stone walls, oak beams and flagstone floors, but is comfortable and homely, the perfect base for a family holiday in the Brecon Beacons.
