The Smithy The Smithy, Hartington, Buxton SK17 0DT, UK

Originally a 17th century drovers inn and more recently a traditional blacksmiths, The Smithy, set in 4 acres of land, provides distinctive, quality accommodation in a unique setting. The converted and separate barn offers you en suite, well sized rooms, overlooking hills and fields and equipped, as you would expect, with TV, DVD, refreshments etc. The blacksmith's shop has been lovingly restored as a dining room, where your breakfast is served. Still in place are the original forge, bellows, anvil and tools of this historic craft which served the needs of the communities hereabouts. The comfortable lounge, terrace and garden with wildlife pond are perfect places to plan how you will enjoy the countless attractions in this beautiful location. Our hay meadow is a Grade A conservation area having many rare and beautiful wild flowers.

Our four en suite rooms: Anvil, Swage, Bellows and Forge are within The Barn. The rooms are quietly and sympathetically decorated. Double iron beds and comfortable mattresses promise a restful night. Three of our en suites have showers and Bellows en suite has a power shower fitted over the bath. Comfort and space make The Barn a pleasant, private and peaceful retreat, where you can come and go as you please.

The rooms have all the extras that you might expect and perhaps one or two more. A fridge is available with wine and glasses close by!

Anvil and Swage are ground floor rooms, floored in reclaimed douglas fir and overlooking fields, animals and in the distance Stanedge Grange. Bellows and Forge are first floor, carpeted and beamed rooms, with east and west facing windows, as well as glazed slit windows.
