About the area

Visitors to the Cotswolds have long treasured memories of charming towns and villages built from the famous honey-coloured stone, it now boasts a thriving community of contemporary artists working from studios and shops throughout the area.

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.

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 6 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.
