The Old Forge
Beaminster, South West England
🚆 Nearest station: · 2.2 mi
The Old Forge is a cosy cottage in Beaminster, tucked into the Dorset countryside and ideal for a couple wanting a quiet break away from it all. Its compact size makes it well suited to a relaxed getaway rather than a large group gathering.
Maiden Newton station is just 2.2 miles off, handy if you'd rather leave the car behind. For days out, Beaminster Museum is a short drive away, while Bridport Museum and The Keep Military Museum offer further options for those who enjoy a bit of local history and heritage during their stay.
