WHAT IS THE OLD FORGE?

We have restored a dilapidated old forge on our family farm. The site is in Lower Wraxall, a small village in the heart of the west country and the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 

The forge has been refurbished and adapted into self-catered holiday accommodation. The Old Forge is a cosy, pet friendly retreat for couples.

Review from Booking.com

“Location, immediate surroundings, the garden, the babbling brook, the bird feeders, the fire pit, loved the very comfortable, snuggly bed, the eggs, cake and tea/coffee on arrival, the attention to detail including a dog blanket and towel, and Judy, our wonderful host. This is a beautiful place to stay which we would highly recommend.”
