Welcome to The Old Forge

Nestled in the heart of the Cranborne Chase, The Old Forge is the perfect retreat for those looking to appreciate the slower pace of life. The 18th Century former Carriage and Wheelwrights workshops have been transformed to create a charming Bed and Breakfast and a self-catering cottage with unique appeal. Constantly evolving, recent years have seen the introduction of Sam and Mabel the Shepherd’s Huts and Rosie the 1934 Gypsy Caravan embracing the ‘glamping’ revolution.

Tim and Lucy along with their daughter Sophie, share their home with three dogs, a cat, two horses, one donkey and ten chickens! Pudding and Pie are both miniature Labaradoodles, a Westie called Bonnie and a very fluffy cat called Nala. Sam, Rosie and Mabel are kept company in the adjacent paddock by Scrumpy Jack the Donkey, Jasmine the Arabian and her young mare Lily. The chickens are free range in every sense of the word and never far from sight.
