Dog friendly holiday cottage in the Cotswolds with a hot tub - The Old Forge

The Old Forge is a beautifully refurbished and generously proportioned Cotswold holiday cottage, sleeping up to six guests. Steeped in history, it was once a barn belonging to Winchcombe Abbey before later becoming a working blacksmith's forge dating back to the early 1800s. Arranged over three floors, the cottage offers three well-appointed bedrooms, with the master featuring a stunning bespoke copper bath, and two bathrooms. On the ground floor you'll find a stylish open plan kitchen, dining and sitting area designed for both relaxation and sociable living. Characterful vaulted ceilings and exposed original beams are beautifully complemented by contemporary furnishings, creating a welcoming and homely atmosphere throughout. To the rear of the property, a charming courtyard offers ample outdoor seating alongside a hot tub. The Old Forge is a dog friendly holiday home, welcoming one medium sized dog.

My dream cottage ❤️

My 3 sons and I had a wonderful stay at the Old Forge.  It was everything we could have wished.  Clean, cosy, really comfortable, very well equipped, fell in love with the character and the attention to detail in every room was second to none.  Provided with loads of towels and even milk for that important cuppa on arrival. There are a couple of things that could have made it even better but this is due to having a very small dog (daschund) and the heatwave.  The fan in the top room was brilliant but an aircon unit would be more beneficial, the fence behind the hot tub needs the gap at the bottom closing and lastly a hanging rail in the twin room.
