What Natalie Powell likes about Blacksmiths:
My friends and I had an excellent coffee in this venue while on a Coach Trip. Was delighted to see that the venue was well laid out and had loads to offer in the way of food and drink. Will definitely be back. Would thoroughly recommend this place. View all feedback. What Margaret P doesn't like about Blacksmiths:
Stopped here for elevenses on route to holiday. Had wonderful scones with butter and jam and coffee. Sat in the sunny conservatory and listened to the piper before going for a look around the shops. Sandwiches and meals looked excellent so will stop here again for a meal. View all feedback.
