    A delightful traditional stone built converted blacksmiths, lovingly converted and restored to a high standard in 2012.

    Fully centrally heated throughout the property, so cosy all year round.

    The Old Smithy provides excellent self-catering accommodation, with stunning views over open countryside with Eden Water at the bottom of the garden.

    The outdoor decking area with furniture is a great a place to relax during the daytime or evenings allowing you to take in the amazing views. (BBQ supplied)

    We live in River Cottage opposite The Old Smithy so are on hand if you require any assistance during your stay.

    The property is modern and stylish throughout displaying a wonderful blend of furnishings enhancing the original features of this old blacksmiths.

    The hall has plenty of space to hang your coats, a shoe rack to store your outdoor footwear and pop on your slippers.

    A door to your left leads into a wonderful social open plan kitchen and dining room . The SMEG Stainless Steel Range Cooker is perfect to prepare that special meal together. You don't need to worry about washing up as there is a dishwasher, so you can sit and relax.

    The open plan living room is spacious and light with 2 sets of French doors leading into the garden area, where you can sit on the decking area and enjoy the open views across to the Thomson Memorial, and listen to the sound of Eden Water running at the bottom of the garden.

    In the evening the lounge area becomes a warm and inviting space to sit and relax, with the flickering flame from the electric wood burner, music playing or playing a game or two, and of course finish off the evening with a wee dram. Pure bliss!

    King-size bedroom with plenty of space to store your items along with an en-suite with a Walk- in shower cubicle.

    The double bedroom consists of a double wardrobe, drawers and beside table.

    The third bedroom is a very large spacious room, consisting of a double and a single bed, ideal as a family room.

    There is a triple wardrobe, drawers and a bedside table.

    We can provide up to 2 travel cots and high chair for you to use during your stay FREE OF CHARGE
