It was like visiting dear friends. I'm travelling with my dog Cosmo and we were welcomed with open arms by Dee Dee and Buddy the Labrador. It was like visiting old friends. Dee Dee was a great host and Buddy a wonderful playmate for Cosmo. The room was spacious, comfortable, clean and neat with everything for a peaceful stay and the dinner and breakfast Dee Dee served was delicious. We loved our stay and would definitely visit again. Thank you Dee Dee and Buddy.

Whimsical, spotless, and warmly hosted—best stay in Smithfield! Highly recommended stay in Smithfield! What a truly whimsical and memorable experience with Dee Dee and her delightful dog, Buddy. The photos don’t fully capture the magic of this charming cottage, tucked away on the last road before the mountain. Dee Dee has created a beautiful garden and cozy cottages that feel like a hidden gem. Everything was spotless, and I can’t recommend enough booking breakfast or dinner with Dee Dee—she is a wonderful host and welcomes you into her lovely home with warmth and care. During our extended stay, she even gave us access to her incredible library, which made our time there even more special. If you’re visiting Smithfield, this is without a doubt the place to stay!

Wonderful, welcoming and an all-round great stay. Our stay at Black Cottage was just lovely. The cottage was quaint, all possible amenities provided for, and beautifully decorated. We arrived in the dark on one of the coldest days, and were made to feel so welcome by the owner. Our cottage was pleasantly warm and comfortable, and we immediately felt at home. The property is tucked away on a back road, which is very quiet and secure. Breakfast was wonderful and the owner's company an absolute delight.

Had a very nice stay and also ate well. Nice stay! Would recommend and visit again if I'm looking for accommodation in that area again.

Baie lekker gebly en ook lekker geëet. Lekker gebly! Sal aanbeveel en ook weer besoek as ek weer in daardie omgewing verblyf soek.

Special accommodation. We had a wonderful stay. The silence we experienced here is special and it leaves a deep impression. Dee Dee is a wonderful hostess and her food is unbeatable. I have never eaten such fresh Filet. The room is tidy with a very comfortable bed and lovely hot shower. Even a gas heater for the cold evening and morning. If I lived closer to Smithfield, I would like to visit it often. Keep it up Dee Dee, you have a winning recipe!

Besonderse verblyf. Ons het heerlik gebly. Die stilte wat ons hier ervaar het, is besonders en dit laat 'n diep indruk. Dee Dee is 'n wonderlike gasvrou en haar kos is onverbeterlik. Ek het nog nooit sulke vars Filet geëet nie. Die kamer is netjies met 'n baie gerieflike bed en heerlike warm stort. Selfs 'n gasverwarmer vir die koue aand en oggend. As ek nader aan Smithfield gebly het, sou ek dit dikwels wou besoek. Hou so aan Dee Dee, jy het 'n wenresep beet!

Dee Dee delightful stay! Dee Dee was such a wonderfully hospitable hostess! Our booking was very last minute (booking confirmed on the day of check-in) and she was only too willing to accommodate us - she even made a plan to prepare dinner for us! We had seen on other reviews that her meals are amazing and it did not disappoint. We stayed in the separate cottage - love the layout and decor and we honestly had a superb night's sleep! It was my first time travelling through Smithfield and it's places and people like this that make exploring our off the beaten track small towns so special and rewarding. Highly recommended stay. And Buddy the Lab is so lovely.
