Green Smithy Cottage

The property was great.

Well located, comfortable, clean. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Lovely cottage, everything you need provided.

Warm welcome on arrival, and lovely welcome gift much appreciated. Cottage was warm, comfortable and peace and quiet. Train station nearby so used that to visit Skipton and morcombe. Really enjoyed our stay

Very helpful host and quaint comfortable cottage.

Loved the cottage, and was great to be greated by the owner when we arrived.

Great location with Yorkshire Dales National Park so close. Beautiful countryside, lovely pubs and a great holiday. Cottage had everything you could want - coziness but modern facilities

Green Smithy Cottage ticks all the boxes for a break away.

Its in a rural peaceful setting with footpaths from the doorstep added bonus is High Bentham just minutes away in the car for supplies, pubs & friendly cafe. Lots to see & explore in surrounding area but Lancaster & Lakes accessible too. Cottage is so comfortable, clean, modern but still quirky and had everything you need to hand including wifi, log burner, smart tv & wonderful openplan kitchen diner with skylight. Owner greeted us on arrival and showed how everything worked & advised about local amenities & walks etc which was a lovely personal touch. Highly recommend this cottage & would definitely visit again.

A comfy, warm and well equipped cottage.

Was welcomed by Malcolm on arrival who gave us the run down of the cottage and where to find everything, also providing us with local eateries info etc. the welcome basket was much appreciated too. The cottage is in a small peaceful village, and there’s plenty to see and do in surrounding areas especially if you enjoy walking. Highly recommend this cottage and would book again without hesitation. Emma, Andrew and Riley ( the border collie)

A great base for exploring the area, with beautiful countryside.

The information provided in the cottage about local walks was very helpful. The cottage was comfortable, clean and well equipped.

What an amazing cottage in an fantastic location.

The cottage was clean, comfy and cozy. It was a perfect base for exploring the area. We will definitely book this cottage again.

Green Smithy Cottage is beautiful!

It had everything needed for our stay and more. The location is fantastic....although you definitely need a car to get to places if you are not keen cyclists. The beauty of the countryside around is idyllic. Fields, moorland, rivers, hills, woodland ... just awesome! Delightful places to visit nearby. We enjoyed Ingleton Waterfalls Trail and Ribblehead Viaduct. The three peaks are at hand for keen walkers, and for not so keen walkers there are lots of villages nearby to explore. Here we were able to do as much outdoors as we liked and then chill at the cottage. Eating out at local eateries on days we didn't fancy cooking ... although check places are open as Mondays and Tuesdays seemed to be closure days for some. Personally I wouldn't want to come in wintertime but purely because of driving in snow or icey conditions is not something I'd relish!! Highly recommend. Many thanks to the owners Mr and Mrs Hingley for making this such a delightful place to retreat to and recharge.

The owner Malcolm is very friendly and accommodating, the cottage is really lovely and well thought out, very comfortable and homely, sadly we were only there for the week but would not hesitate to return to this delightful cottage.

This cottage was a perfect little holiday home for us, it had everything we needed and is in an ideal location to visit Yorkshire and the Lake District.

This is a fantastic property and ideal to use as a base for exploring the local area.

Nothing was too much trouble for the owners who were helpful and welcoming on arrival and always on hand if needed. Would highly recommend.

We loved our time at this cottage.

The kitchen/dining area was so light, clean and bright and had everything we needed. The lounge, bedrooms and bathrooms were all excellent and we had the added bonus of being able to lock our bikes up in the barn. Right on the edge of The Forest of Bowland and The Yorkshire Dales so ideal for walking and biking. Also only a relatively short drive to Clapham, Austwick and Settle. Loved it.

A superb cottage.

Immaculately clean and well equipped . Green Smithy Cottage if full of character, set in a quiet location but well located for Bentham Village (check out the Black Pig for food - superb) walks from the door or further afield whether coastal, forest, reservoir or simply the Dales. Host Malcom greeted us with a pack of very welcome essentials and couldn't do enough to ensure our stay was perfect. We would definitely recommend Green Smithy Cottage.

Fabulous cottage!

Beautiful location. The cottage had everything we needed for a lovely holiday. Really clean. Comfy beds. Parking was very easy. The owner was on hand if we needed anything. Really could not have asked for more. Would definitely return.

Peaceful location.

Comfy beds and good facilities. Very welcoming owners. The wine, milk, biscuits welcomed. Good information provided in the cottage of things to do and local walks.

A very pleasant and well equipped cottage.

The cottage was warm and modern. There was everything provided to make the holiday relaxed and easy.

Cozy, clean and well equipped.

A beautiful base for exploring North Yorkshire and the Lakes. Highly recommended.

All good & as expected Nice to be greeted by the owner and shown round A bit off the track but totally as expected and ideal

Malcom the owner was in contact with us on the drive up from Oxon.

He was there to meet us when we arrived. Thanks

Lovely place to stay and very friendly people

Really great stay with great country walks and views.

The cottage was very comfortable with all we needed to make it a great place to come back to and relax

We had a very comfortable stay at Smithy Green Cottage, the owner was there to meet us, socially distanced.

It provided a great base for some outstanding walks locally.

Very comfortable and clean cottage and was exactly as described.

Would recommend to anyone wishing to visit the Yorkshire Dale's.

Had a wonderful.

Cottage very welcoming and owners met us which was nice. Everything in the cottage we needed and also plenty of information on the surrounding area for us to read. We would definitely recommend to friends. In fact friends have already asked us to pass them on the details. Whoever stays here won’t be disappointed.

We had a lovely stay at Green Smithy,the cottage was cosy & warm with a fab wood burner which we did use,lovely welcoming pack waiting for us added a nice touch,Bentham right in the middle lots of places to go & things to do,would definitely like to go back one day,the only gripe was the drive it’s not that easy too park your car & if you have a S.

U.V,which I do it’s was very tight too get it in the drive & worse at night as it was so dark,even with the outside light on!,we did manage though,just a bit difficult!. Green Smithy is a lovely place & I definitely recommend it :-)

Sykes were fantastic, as I called to arrange to arrive day later due to our wedding.

The lady contacted the owner Malcolm and confirmed, and was incredibly knowledgeable about dog and family friendly attractions. Malcolm met us at the cottage, and we had a fantastic week. The cottage was one of the finest we've stayed in and really was home from home. Great location and all the facilities we could need. We enjoyed many day trips with the kids and our dog. Would love to visit here again!

The location of the cottage is a little misleading as listed in the description.

Whilst the cottage is only one mile from High Bentham, what is not stated is that the mile is up and down some relative steep slopes, via a road with no foot path and blind bends. I would not walk this route in perfect daylight let alone at night. Again, whilst the description states parking for one vehicle off road is technically correct, the vehicle in question should only be a mid sized family car. anything larger then the parking is very tight. However, the cottage its self is very clean, comfortable and a pleasure to be in

great cottage very clean and with everything

thoroughly enjoyed holiday - very comfortable.

Only one problem which was sorted out quickly by owners.

Outstanding cottage!

Great location, with lovely walks from the door. Very dog friendly. Welcomed by the owner, which was a nice touch. Made to feel like it was a home from home. Delighted with our stay.

the owner is very friendly and professional.

very spacious and everything is new...sparkling clean. quiet. even have free wines, biscuits as gifts...very satisfied with the choice and experience. highly recommended to other guests.

The owner Malcolm met us upon arrival and was extremely helpful and friendly.

We really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend this cottage to friends and family.

This cottage was even better than we expected.

A very clean, well equipped cottage. Walks on the doorstop for us and our dog. Exactly what we wanted for a week in the dales

The cottage is lovely and the owners couldn’t have been more welcoming.

They met us on arrival and showed us everything we needed to know, and left us welcome gifts. The cottage is spacious and finished to an extremely high standard. I have read on other reviews that the gate is narrow, but we managed to fit a large 4x4 on the drive and it offered peace of mind that we could park our car safely and that our dog and small children would not stray from the grounds without us opening the gate. The cottage contained everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It is in a quiet location but still only a short drive to Bentham. For anyone thinking of walking to Bentham though, be aware that it is about a 25 minute walk - fine for adults but those with small children may prefer to drive. We found parking in Bentham no problem though so this wasn’t an issue. We felt the cottage was terrific value for money and would consider staying again.

We were met by the owner and shown through the cottage.

All our questions were answered and the book with details in it was excellent plus we were given a small welcome pack which was very nice. I would definitely recommend this cottage as it was very clean and comfortable. I would perhaps like to see better signage ie a sign post on the corner if it is possible. If you have a small SUV be advised that it is quite tight to get your car in through the gate. All in all a lovely property.

The cottage was lovely it had everything we required to have a great holiday.

Out in the countryside but still close enough to Bentham to walk there and back although it's all up hill on way home. We were made very welcome by Malcolm & Elaine on arrival. Very peaceful with comfortable beds which was great for long lies in.

We found the cottage so beautiful, it was so peaceful and relaxing just what we wanted would love to go back sometime.

This cottage is an absolute gem in a stunning location so clean and very easy to settle into as everything is where you would expect it to be nothing seems to have been overlooked .

A very friendly welcome from Malcolm which was much appreciated as was the bottle of wine , chocolates ,and milk . Can honestly say this cottage is probably the most well equipped one we have stayed in and there has been quite a few . Would love to return one day .

Green Smithy Cottage was perfect for our holiday with Monty (the dog).

Spacious, lovely furnishings, dog friendly floors, enclosed patio area and a warm welcome from Malcolm, the owner. It was like home from home and a pleasure to return to at the end of our days spent exploring the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. The cottage’s location was excellent - perfect for some peace and quiet, yet brilliantly accessible to lots of villages, towns, countryside and pubs! We couldn’t recommend Green Smithy Cottage enough. Thank you Malcolm, Elaine and Sykes Cottages for a super holiday.

A beautiful cottage in a really lovely part of the country.

So very well appointed. Everything in the very best taste. A warm welcome. Could not wish for anything more. Thank you.

Really comfortable, clean, quiet, modern cottage, everything you could want, a real home away from home.

Brilliant accommodation, easy booking facility, easy to understand directions, key collection and overall booking procedure.

Will definitely be using again!

Had a great stay at Green Smithy Cottage, a beautiful place to stay with all the comforts of home.

Exceptionally well kept with all modern amenities, the cottage has been renovated to keep the quaintness of an old cottage along with comforts of modern living. The owners Malcolm and Elaine made us very welcome and their cottage is a credit to them.
