Guests have enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the large garden, which is especially appreciated by dog owners. The property's traditional features and the thoughtful welcome gifts have been well received, contributing to a pleasant stay.

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity and convenience for exploring the Cotswolds. The proximity to local villages and attractions, along with the rural views, contribute to a high score in this category.
Comfort levels are generally good, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the property cosy. However, some guests mentioned issues with mattresses and seating arrangements, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities are well-regarded, particularly the well-stocked kitchen and the garden. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as broken appliances and lighting, which affects the score.
Guests have noted the thoughtfulness of the welcome gifts and essentials provided. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, the score reflects the positive reception while acknowledging the variability.
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 8 people, with all the modern facilities you'd expect. Downstairs is an attractive kitchen/ diner and cosy Living Room , while upstairs across two floors are three good sized bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. Outside 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.
Broadwell, a village in Gloucestershire, is quintessential Cotswold, complete with a quaint bar and beautiful stone homes. Stow-on-the-Wold, an ancient market town, is only 1.5 miles away, so you'll have easy access to grocery stores, shops, bars, and restaurants during your visit. Throughout the aonb, there are bike paths and bridleways, and there are also excellent walking trails along the nearby River Evenlode. Broadway, Bourton-on-the-Water, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Moreton-in-Marsh are just a short drive away and are some of the most well-known towns in the Cotswolds. In less than an hour, you can reach the nearby regency spa town of Cheltenham.
