Set in the charming village of Piddlehinton, Way’s Forge is a beautifully renovated old blacksmith’s workshop.The property dates back to the 1830’s and was a working forge run by five generations of the Way family. Way’s Forge offers plenty of original character and is perfect for those looking to stay somewhere full of charm and history. The cottage suits a couple or a small family as it sleeps up to three people. The stout beams, stone walls and electric log burner create a great atmosphere and the thoughtful and creative use of bygones, such as the tin trunk coffee table, add to the warm personality of the cottage. The first floor offers two bedrooms, with very comfortable beds, and a bathroom, whilst the large open plan living area with underfloor heating on the ground floor has all you need for a relaxing holiday. Way’s Forge sits in the wonderful Piddle Valley, a great base from which to explore the Dorset countryside and you can start with walks right from the village itself. The Millennium Green, a playground and picnic area by the river, is a short stroll down a path opposite the cottage. There are many tracks on the hills around the village where you can walk your dogs. Typical of many village blacksmiths Way’s Forge lies in the heart of Piddlehinton on the main street, a two minute walk from the award winning Thimble Inn. This thatched 18th century pub and restaurant with a riverside garden serves great food. The pretty village of Cerne Abbas is in the next valley with the intriguing chalk hillside figure of the Cerne Giant. Thomas Hardy’s cottage, Thorncombe Woods and Puddletown Forest are nearby. There are, of course, many other lovely places to explore in Dorset. A short drive away is the county town of Dorchester, with shopping, restaurants, cinemas, museums and other places of interest. Brewery Square and Poundbury are interesting and exciting local developments. The seaside town of Weymouth with its sandy beach and entertainment for everyone is just 14 miles away. Lulworth Cove, the arch of Durdle Door and the rest of the stunning Jurassic Coast are close-by. Way's Forge is located next to the main road that runs through the village and does not have an enclosed garden.
