Beautiful cottage and quiet location. Cottage had everything you needed and the fresh milk, eggs, biscuits and teabags were a lovely surprise. Local pub is a 5 minute walk away, food was delicious, the roaring fire was perfect on a cold night. Highly recommend The Smithy 👌

Clean and comfortable cottage in a lovely location and friendly hosts. Nice pub with great food just along the lane. Local amenities not on the doorstep but Leyburn and Bedale just a short drive away.Enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
