The Forge is the perfect romantic holiday cottage when visiting Herefordshire. This open fronted stone barn was originally the blacksmith’s workshop for the 10 carriage horses that were housed at the Estate's stables. It has been converted with architectural flair to create an airy living space and huge bedroom. Ideally suited to a couple looking for a romantic bolthole or for a family with older children. The original A-frame of the building has been perfectly restored, and with the addition of a Swedish woodburner it offers a fantastic open and relaxed atmosphere. The Forge has oak floorboards throughout, modern Italian radiators with linen and plain cotton curtains. 

This holiday cottage sleeps 2 in the main bedroom (plus an additional bed on the balcony), with a second  bedroom accessed from the living area by a spiral staircase. This comprises of a kingsize built-in bed on a mezzanine gallery. Please note due to its built-in nature it can only be accessed from one side. There is a wet-room, shower and WC below the mezzanine providing an independent washing area. The main bedroom boasts a spectacular Superking size bed with a pocket sprung mattress and egyptian linen sheets. A rolltop bath stands in the centre of the bedroom with a separate washroom consisting of a luxurious double porcelain sink set on black granite. A second spiral staircase accesses a folly mezzanine area with a single futon for an additional child/guest if necessary. The gardens can be accessed directly via french doors. Outside there's a pretty terrace with lavender and beech hedged lawns. The teak dining table and chairs are a welcome place to discuss the days activities on balmy summer evenings.
