The Forge Cottage is a beautifully restored 17th-century barn that once served as a grain store during the Watermill’s bustling days. This charming retreat retains its original character with thick cob-filled walls, exposed beams, and a striking stable door. Modern comforts blend seamlessly with rustic charm, including underfloor heating throughout and a wood-burning stove for cozy winter evenings.
Step outside into a private stone-walled garden, ideal for al fresco dining or a relaxed summer barbecue.
For the ultimate in relaxation, guests can enhance their stay with access to the site’s luxurious Vita Hot Tub or Swim Spa, or unwind in the Wood-Fired Sauna, complete with a refreshing cold bath. These private spa facilities are available to hire for a truly indulgent escape.
The cottage comfortably sleeps up to seven guests in three bedrooms, including two double rooms and a third bedroom accessed through one of the doubles featuring three single beds. Inside, you’ll find an attractive open-beamed lounge with a wood burner, a spacious kitchen and dining area with a tiled floor and dishwasher. Refresh in the downstairs bathroom with a shower over the bath, along with an additional toilet upstairs. Underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort. Outside, enjoy a garden and patio area equipped with garden furniture and a BBQ, perfect for sunny days.
