The Smithy is an old blacksmith's workshop which has been lovingly refurbished into a cosy two-bedroom traditional stone cottage. It is across a narrow country road from our Manor House Farm and Cottage, in the heart of the picturesque North York Moors National Park. Surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Troutsdale and located between the seaside town of Scarborough and the village of Snainton, it is ideally situated for peace and tranquillity as well as for lots to see and do in nearby towns and villages. Practically no light pollution means amazing dark skies for all you stargazers too! Beautifully furnished, this cosy self-catering cottage has one double bedroom, and one single bedroom, sleeping three guests. Layout: The Smithy accommodation is entirely on the ground floor, making it accessible for those with limited mobility. There is a comfortable living room, with French windows opening onto the large patio and surrounding countryside. The fully fitted dining kitchen includes a fridge/freezer, electric oven and hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, and washer/dryer, and is well-equipped for preparation, cooking and serving meals for three guests. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, bedside cabinets, wardrobe, and chair. The single bedroom contains a single bed, bedside cabinet, and chest of drawers. The family bathroom comprises a shower, wash hand basin, W.C., and heated towel rail. All rooms have amazing views. There is also a large outdoor patio/paved seating area with garden furniture, and wonderful views over the countryside. Heating and electricity included in your rental. We provide all bedding, bed linen and towels, TV, and WiFi (subject to fair usage policy). Dogs are welcome at an added fee of £20 per dog. Please note: Gardens/Outside areas not necessarily dog proof, even if fenced/walled, so dogs need to be kept under control at all times, especially near farm animals.

If you want peace and quiet this valley, away from tourist crowds and you dont mind driving, it is a perfect location. Glorious view across the valley from the patio, but sadly no evening sun ! Information in cottage is excellent . The cottage is attractively furnished and perfect for a couple. This is our third stay in this particular cottage and it is obvious that improvements,replacements have taken place to maintain the high standards.
Attention and information from Country Cottage Holidays is excellent. We have now spent 9 weeks in their beautiful properties and are highly satisfied. Any issues have been quickly resolved.

They should probably all be 10, but there are one or two things we would use if they were there. The location is wonderful, but a little far from civilisation. Generally very well equiped and any problems sorted out quickly.
Couldn't work out how the new central heating thermostat worked, but on the other hand, didn't need it.

A delightful cottage ,beautifully and comfortably furnished and we can not fault it. The location is perfect if you look for escape, peace, quiet and nature but still not far from the busy coast . We love this Valley and have stayed in three properties but this is perfect if just a couple.
Perhaps a little more cutlery as dishwasher is used and easy to tun out as only 6 of everything. Dishes etc are rather large if only cooking for 2 / 3 people . We had to wait for our shopping to be delivered so a small milk, tea and biscuits welcome pack would appreciated , precovid this was the norm. All comments are quickly actioned and the running of your company is superb. Thank you. We hope to return again.

Wonderful location, though not the easiest to get to. Peace and quiet with wonderful views. Very well furnished and kitted out. Country Cottage deal with any issues quickly and efficiently.. Main form of communication is Whatsapp.
One or two minor issues during our two stays. Both sorted out quickly and efficiently. The shed door lock is an irritation. Only 2 small glasses A couple more would have been nice.

This is a really lovely cottage. It is cosy, warm and very well equipped. If you’re after peace and quiet and fabulous scenery, this should be just what you’ve been looking for. We stayed in December and the addition of a Christmas tree was a very nice touch.
The access door into the roof space in the bathroom wouldn’t close. This wouldn’t be a problem in the summer but did make the bathroom a bit cool when we stayed in the winter. Otherwise no issues at all.
