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. The breakfast was fabulous and set us up for two great days out. The owners are on hand for useful advice and the room was stacked with local information and walking guides. A... More

The Smithy is a beautifully converted property in the quiet rural location of Biggin. We stayed in the Bellows room, which was well appointed with ample space. The little touches made it feel like a home from home (I wish our home was as nice!). The breakfast room is truly amazing, a wonderful place to start the day. The English... More

We have returned home today after a weekend stay at The Smithy. We had decided to go to Derbyshire fro Lancashire to visit the Darley Dale steM and vintage weekend. 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.

We have visited 'The Smithy' on several occasions, and have always loved every minute of being there. Lynn and Gary are excellent hosts, and their breakfasts are the best in the world. They will do everything they can to help with any queries you have and have an excellent knowledge of the Peak District. We would highly recommend a visit,... More

Wonderful B&B! We stayed here last winter, in the depths of a snow storm. The rooms were beautiful, comfortable and welcoming, I could have stayed in that bed all day long but was drawn out by the beautiful surrounding countryside. There are some lovely pubs nearby and the owners even have a selection of wine and DVDs if you do... More

Stayed with friends to celebrate my birthday. We asked Gary to book a local restaurant for us and when we arrived our table was specially decorated for us which was a nice surprise and very thoughtful. We really enjoyed our stay at the Smithy, which really is an old Smithy that has been beautifully converted. The breakfast was just delicious!... More
