The Smithy

The Smithy, Broadwell, is a true Cotswolds gem and one which we feel offers a wonderful and authentic experience in a location that is hard to beat. As the name would suggest, The Smithy was many, many years ago the home to the village blacksmith, with his workshop tucked next door, a cottage packed with history and well known by the older locals. In recent years, the house has undergone a wholesale update, but pleasingly, the house retains much of the original period charm, including the beams, mullion windows, and a flagstone floor. In fact, the old workshop barn next door hasn't been touched, so part of the original history remains intact. Otherwise, the building has been transformed into a beautiful and stunning home for up to eight guests, with all the modern facilities you'd expect. Downstairs is an attractive kitchen/ diner and cosy sitting room, while upstairs across two floors are three good-sized bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. Outside, there is a huge garden too, and altogether, this top-notch cottage has plenty to offer. All this in a wonderful village that also has an excellent pub too (about 4 mins walk!) We feel this is an exceptional holiday cottage, ideal for families or small groups, in a location that is perfect for enjoying the best of the Cotswolds region.
