Smithy House is a beautiful cottage with absolutely everything you need for a break away and more, the Kitchen is the most comprehensive and well stocked we have every stayed in including plenty of logs for the Log Burner, the rooms are spacious and for 6 adults, we were never in each others way, we stayed in the Master Bedroom downstairs that had the most beautiful Roll Too Bath as. Special feature, the others stayed upstairs and all slept very well - the quality of the home is first class, it’s only a short walk from a very welcoming village Pub, the Kings Arms where we spent New Year’s Eve, the owners were in and provided a free buffet to celebrate the New Year, Pooley Bridge on Ullswater was only a 10 minute driver or probably an hours walk away, Windermere or an hour away and Keswick - 30 minutes, lots of routes in the local area for dog walking and Penrith just 5 minutes away for local shops/Supermarket, there is a village shop but opening times are not consistent, the owner Colin was very easy to communicate with and overall a lovely space that we would happily use again.
