About this property

The Old Forge, 4 Bed Modern Barn Conversion in The Yorkshire Wolds

Accommodation at The Old Forge is all on one level making it ideal for families with young children, or family members with limited mobility. Converted from what used to be a busy working Forge, our family run holiday cottage is both characterful & modern. The property features beautiful stone floors with underfloor heating throughout and is equipped to the highest standards. Please be aware that we do not accept pets.
In equipping The Old Forge Holiday Cottage we have tried to provide everything you will need to enjoy a comfortable and relaxing holiday. All our furnishings and fixtures are of a high quality and we hope that it is our attention to detail that our guests will remember. If there is something we haven't considered please let us know!

Situated in The Great Wold Valley alongside a stream known as The Gypsey Race and overlooking an area of outstanding natural beauty, the Old Forge Holiday Cottage is ideally situated as a base for visiting the Yorkshire Wolds, The Yorkshire Coast, the North Yorkshire Moors and the City of York all of which are within 30 miles.

West Lutton is a picturesque village situated between the bustling market towns of Malton and Driffield. The views from The Old Forge of St Mary's Church are second to none. A couple of miles away in Weaverthorpe both The Blue Bell and The Star Inn are excellent choices for dining out, as is The Triton Inn at Sledmere.

Still Yorkshires best kept secret The Yorkshire Wolds are a range of low rolling hills which rise from the River Humber at Hessle and run in a crescent shape through stunning countryside to the dramatic cliffs at Flamborough Head and Bempton north of Bridlington. The gentle hills make it an ideal area for both walking and cycling. The area is unspoilt and rich in history and there are many historic houses and churches to visit. The chalk grassland of The Yorkshire Wolds is a rare habitat in Britain and is a haven for wildlife.

The Yorkshire Coast towns of Bridlington, Filey, & Scarborough are all less than 20 miles away, each offering a different experience for those of you who enjoy a day out at the Seaside. Do not miss a day out in the maritime town of Whitby, the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula and now home to the annual Gothic Weekend.

The North York Moors railway based in the market town of Pickering just 15 miles away is the gateway to The North Yorkshire Moors. It offers 18 miles of steam railway running through spectacular moorland scenery. You can stop off in Goathland also known as Aidensfield in Yorkshire TV's Heartbeat and the bewitching Hogsmead in the first Harry Potter film.

The Historic City of York is just 25 miles from The Old Forge Holiday Cottage. Highlights include the majestic York Minster, The Jorvik Centre, York Castle Museum and The National Railway Museum. You can also explore many of York's hidden secrets which are often tucked away in the cobbled streets, snickets and snickleways.

Perfect !
We had a lovely stay at The Old Forge. It was clean, spacious and very well equipped. This modernised barn was very welcoming, the beds were so comfy and the bedding lovely. We spent many hours cycling around the area and visited lots of beautiful villages in addition to the popular coastal resorts. The hosts are very considerate and helpful. Thank you very much for making it a fantastic holiday. PS: We loved the welcome pack too, especially the cake…thanks again!

Idyllic staycation
The Old Forge is stunning. Spacious and beautifully decorated throughout, it has everything you could possibly need for your stay. There were 8 of us in the property for the week and it never felt crowded. The beds were very comfortable and the water was always piping hot. The countryside is right on your doorstep for local walks. The cottage overlooks the village church and it was so nice sitting outside in the early morning with a cuppa, just taking in the tranquility, and listening to the birds. There is so much to do in the vicinity, or a short drive away, we were never stuck for something to do. Caroline was a fantastic host and made us very welcome. The goodie basket was a lovely touch and Caroline’s lemon drizzle cake was delicious. I managed to persuade her to part with her recipe and made one the day after our return! We all fell in love with Archie - he’s adorable! We thoroughly enjoyed our staycation and will definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you again Caroline and Nigel

About the host

Hosted by Caroline Bradshaw

Host profile image
I live here in the Yorkshire Wolds with my husband Nigel, our 2 teenage sons & our golden retriever Archie.

Why they chose this property

We bought the property in 2001 as our family home. The single storey outbuilding which was once the village Forge initially served as a workshop for my husbands construction business. After several years of making improvements to the main house we turned our attention to the outbuildings, which were in a very bad state of repair. We decided to demolish the building completely & rebuild it using reclaimed materials. The result was The Old Forge holiday cottage. We love living in the Yorkshire Wolds & enjoy welcoming guests & introducing them to this little known area, which many of them describe as a hidden gem. The artist David Hockney continues to paint the unique landscape of The Wolds and we have some prints of his paintings in the cottage.

What makes this property unique

The village is ideally located as a base for visiting the Yorkshire Coast, the market towns of Malton, Pickering & The North York Moors & the City of York. There are literally hundreds of attractions to visit locally including many National Trust properties, Homes & Gardens such as Castle Howard, Scampston Estate, & Sledmere House, Museums including Eden Camp, The Yorvik Centre, & The National Railway Museum, & the North York Moors Railway. Children are well catered for, with Playdale Farm, Flamingoland, & the beaches at Scarborough & Bridlington. Malton is also becoming a centre for foodies with an annual Food Festival, several micro breweries & TV Chef James Martin at The Talbot Hotel. There are some very good eating places just a stones throw away from the cottage.
