We stayed at Green Smithy Cottage for two weeks and had a wonderful holiday. The cottage is very well laid out and clean. The kitchen is properly equipped. It includes a bright room with a dining table. You sit there very well. The living room is large with good seating. The two bathrooms are modern and work well. The bedrooms and beds are very o.k. There is also enough storage space. Malcolm is a very friendly and helpful host who also takes great care of his guests when needed. We got the impression that it is important to him that his guests feel comfortable. Bentham is not an exciting place, but an excellent starting point for trips to the Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District, Manchester or Liverpool and the sea - not only by car, by the way, but also by train, which - in our experience - also works fine. We can wholeheartedly recommend staying at Green Smithy Cottage and Bentham.

An excellent cottage in an excellent location. Pristinely clean and very comfortable. Walking was fantastic
