"The property is very comfortable,spotlessly clean and very well equipped."
Excellent also for disabled use which is why we chose The Smithy. Lovey location. Convenient for any sightseeing for walkers, cyclists and drivers. Lots of lovely coffee shops and eateries within a short distance.
We only have one minor detail to mention and that is that a full lenght mirror would be an advantage for us ladies.

"The photos suggested a larger outside seating area."
We were disappointed that it was a small table and chairs tucked behind the cottage. Also, there was a footpath to one side and a play area behind, both of which overlooked the seating area. The cottage was on the main road too. Overall, we just didn't feel able to relax outside.

"Positives related to the property and information that we hope will be helpful people thinking about booking this cottage ;
The property is just as advertised."
Large parking area for one car at the side of the property.
A second car can park with ease, safely on the road, next to the cottage.
The kitchen is very modern, with quality appliances and all the utensils you need.
Both bathrooms are very modern, with powerful showers.
Both bedrooms are a good size (we took a blow up bed for our son and there was still room to move around the room)
One bedroom/bathroom is downstairs which was perfect for 86 year old grandad (no stairs to climb)
Both bedrooms had hairdryers
There was a strong bike store with lock - real bonus
The owners garden is your main outlook and the flower beds are stunning!
Amazing base for walking and cycling.
There are National Trust properties near by and RHS partner gardens.
Chatsworth House is a short drive away.
Really small playground at the back of the cottage, great for U10's
This cottage was outstandingly clean throughout, plus very tastefully decorated.
Overall we would highly recommend this property. The only issue/down side to the property for us was the bedroom windows either had blinds or curtains on the windows. (but not both) The light came through the edges of the blinds/curtains from about 4.45am each morning, waking us up and having a real impact on the quality of our sleep throughout our stay.

Smithy is very comfortable and well equipped for an enjoyable stay.
Good walks just across the road. Railway station in easy walking distance with access to good walking areas (Edale)if you don't want to take your car.
If you want to eat at the king William make sure you book, we went there two nights running, unable to get any food either night. Kitchen shuts at right.

It is spotlessly clean and is extremely well equipped. The owner has really gone the extra mile to make sure everything you need, or may need for your stay is provided and of the highest standard. The Welcome basket was a lovely touch, especially the fresh local bread. Loved the Pears soap and hand wash in the bathrooms and the bee cushions on the bed. Cyclists would really appreciate the lockable storage for their bikes and there is a lovely space to sit outside. The perfect place to stay in order to explore the Dales. Thankyou for a wonderful few days.
