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.
