We've stayed at the Smithy several times over the last eight years. The welcome from Lynn and Gary is friendly and helpful, the rooms are beautifully decorated and equipped and the breakfasts are superb, using excellent ingredients, beautifully cooked/prepared and well presented. The Smithy is situated in the middle of the White Peak just off the A515 (though we have... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here over a weekend last Spring. I believe the story is: A few years ago Lynne and Gary, the owners, bought a house to live in. Next to the house was a run down old barn. They've done it up and made a perfect little guesthouse with 4 rooms. We just wanted to get away... More

We spent two very comfortable nights at The Smithy. The room was lovely with a comfortable bed. The place was very clean and had everything we needed.

We arrived on Saturday afternoon to a very warm welcome from the owners and their lovely dog. Our room was very nicely laid out and spotlessly clean with lots of... More

We chose the Smithy on a whim for a last minute trip to the Derbyshire Dales, and we weren't disappointed. Our room was large and very comfortable, and the rest of the B&B, set in an old blacksmiths' building, was charming and atmospheric. There is a pub (The Waterloo) about 15 minutes pleasant walk away, in the village of Biggin,... More

Just had a few days staying here and nothing much to add that hasn't been said in other reviews. Had 5 star breakfasts, lovely clean room with lots of special touches and extras. Lots of extra nibbles at breakfast and variety to make things different. Run by a very genuine couple who have obviously thought hard about what people may... More

This was our granddaughter's first trip to the UK and she (and we) loved our visit at with Lynn and Gary. The breakfasts were outstanding. Their knowledge of the Peak District was very helpful as well. The view of the sheep and cows right outside our windows really made it special for our granddaughter.
