Welcome to The Smithy - A Little Piece of Wales The Smithy is set in an area of outstanding beauty in the heart of the Tanat Valley, right on the Shropshire Welsh border. There are superb views of the Shropshire Plain and up towards the Welsh Hills and the Valley. It’s a perfect place to unwind and relax. Ideal location for bird spotting, fishing, walking, mountain biking or just marvel at the breathtaking views. There are lakes, Waterfalls and Castles all nearby, go further a field to the coast and see the Italianate village of Portmeirion or take a ride up Snowdon. There is so much to see and do, one visit will never be enough. The former Smithy has been beautifully renovated and converted to provide bright and airy accommodation. A mix of old and new makes this a charming place. The original Smithy forge is still in place, now with a wood burning stove. Other features are oak beams and stable door.

HOW TO FIND US From the A483, just south of Oswestry, turn right at the Llynclys crossroads on to the A495 (signposted Llansantffraid, Machynlleth A458). Follow the road and take the B4396. This is signposted for Llanyblodweland, Llangedwyn and Llanrhaeadr. You will pass the border for Wales & on the left is a sign for the Penybont Inn. After this is the village sign for Penybont & the Smithy is behind this. If you’ve gone past the pub, turn round and you will see the Smithy.
