The Smithy is the old blacksmiths cottage which offers space and tranquillity within a stone's throw of the popular Derbyshire village of Ashford in the Water. It also includes a peaceful riverside location with meadow views.
From the property, guests can enjoy a short stroll to the old marble quarrying village of Ashford in the Water. Here, you'll find plenty of places to shop, eat and relax beside the babbling River Wye.
The space
Nestled in the heart of the national park, walkers will enjoy exploring the contrasting scenery of the higher and wilder Dark Pak in the north and the gently rolling limestone dales of White Peak in the south.
Inside, you will enter the character cottage through the kitchen, which is open to the lounge area. This is a warm and cosy room with a Cornish Slate floor, comfortable chairs, a leather settee, chair and occasional rugs. It features an attractive oak fireplace with a log effect electric stove. Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom with hand basin and toilet.
The fully fitted kitchen has a dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge/freezer and all the essential equipment you will require for the duration of your stay.
Gusts can also enjoy the private garden by the side of the River Wye with views of the meadow beyond. As expected their is an abundance of wildlife all year round. There is also plenty of trout in the river but there is strictly NO fishing as a permit is required. The garden does face south so it benefits from the sun all day.
