About this cottage rental
Smithy cottage is a deseptively spacious traditional stone built cottage which nestles next to the Sparrowpit Methodist Chapel, which is believed to be one of the first Methodist communities in England. Smithy Cottage has been a part of the history of Sparrowpit since being the home of the local blacksmith.
Entrance / Vestibule
On arrival make yourself comfortable on the old English church pew. The vestibule is decorated with vintage 'sticks for walking' and even a old barometer to help you plan your day ahead in the stunning Peak District National Park. After an amazing day out in the air you'll find plenty of space for your shoes, coats and muddy boots.
We also provide sturdy wall hanging bike racks for four bicycles.
With separate dining and living rooms Smithy Cottage provides ample living space for 6 guests, while remaining cozy enough for couples too. All furnishings are in a 'cottage style' mainly of period antique pine. Both rooms have wood burning stoves.
Dining Room
From the vestibule and into the dining room is a stone fireplace with an inset wood burning stove.
An ample old cottage pine dining table with seating for 6 people. In addition to its primary use as the spacious family dining room, the two traditional 'Carver' chairs are perfect to sit and enjoy a quiet read, pour over a map or guide book to plan your next excursion or just simply relax.
Kitchen
In addition to the ample counter tops, fitted floor and wall cupboards and pine dresser, there is small table and chairs to seat 3, ideal for breakfast or to enjoy your tea or coffee overlooking the garden and the hills beyond and (at the right time of the year) watch the sheep and lambs in the field behind or the white ducks running around enjoying the pond.
The shaker kitchen provides everything needed to make your stay comfortable, including; dishwasher, cooker/hob, large fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster and plenty of cooking utensils, pots and pans.
Utility Room
The utility room contains the separate washing machine and tumble dryer.
Sitting Room
The Sitting Room with a front aspect has a three seat sofa and three armchairs providing ample comfortable seating for 6 guests.
Character features include a stone fireplace with inset log burner for those cosy, chilly evenings and beamed ceiling. Entertain yourselves with the freeview TV or for the more traditional of you enjoy a few games of draughts on the antique board.
Upstairs you will find the three bedrooms; Double Master, Twin and the bunk room. Set out in a comfortable country living style.
Master Bedroom
With front aspect & views across the valley towards Chapel en le Frith, has a pine double sleigh bed, bedside tables with lamps and a dressing table with a mirror. There is also a fitted wardrobe for hanging clothing. In here you’ll also find a travel cot.
The Twin Bedroom also with a front aspect, has two single beds, antique victorian 'pot cupboard' bedside cabinet, a beautiful French antique pine wardrobe and a tall-boy chest of drawers.
The Bunk Room set at the rear of the house, with views over the farm behind and hills beyond, has bunkbeds and a tall boy chest of drawers and a victorian washstand bedside table.
Also upstairs is our favourite space; the Snug-Landing. Or as we know it the 'Schnlanding' :0) Laid out with chairs to relax, maybe read a book or just look out across the hills towards Mam Tor.
Upstairs are the two bathrooms; a shower room with electric shower, toilet and basin.
Plus the bathroom with bath, toilet and basin. Sited at opposite ends of the house to provide excellent facilities for all the bathrooms.
There is a delightfull enclosed cottage garden at the rear where you can watch the two resident white 'Runner' ducks being busy around the pond/watering hole of our lovely neighbours' farm behind. With open views across the high peaks towards Mam Tor and Kinder Scout.

The cottage is comfortable and well equipped and the hosts very helpful. Local walks and the sheep and ducks in the field behind were hits with the children! Excellent Sunday roast at the village pub, but beware that it is only open midday during the week.
