Nestled in the quintessential Cotswold village of Little Barrington.
The Old Forge nestled above The Green in the quintessential Cotswold village of Little Barrington. Numerous walks with scenic visas along the Windrush valley. The Fox gastro pub just 5 minutes' walk away (drop in for a drink, meal reservations recommended). Perfect location with Burford 3.5 miles, Bourton on the Water 7.7 miles, Cirencester 15 miles, Oxford 22 miles, Daylesford Farmhouse 12 miles, Charlbury Station 11.3 miles.
The Old Forge forms part of the terrace of charming period Cotswold stone cottages dating from the 17th c that overlook the Green and Tight Brook, the stream that runs through the village.
Little Barrington is listed in the Domesday Book - the Great Survey completed in 1086 at the behest of William the Conqueror. It is recorded as one household with one slave. It had ploughland of '1 lord's plough team' - the amount of land that 8 oxen could plough in a year, or roughly 120 acres. Other resources included a 6 acre meadow and 1 mill valued at 3 shillings and 1 pence. The annual value to Lord Alwin (the sheriff of Gloucestershire) on the Norman Conquest in 1066 was 2 pounds. It remained 2 pounds to Lord Ralph at the time of the survey in 1086.
The Pevsner Architectural Guides (the definitive guides to Great Britain architecture) states that Little Barrington "is one of the most appealing village scenes in the Cotswolds". The Smithy (our residence next door) is called out for its 'reset' 16c features including an upper window and its entrance archway.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Perfection
Perfect Cotswold cottage. We loved its central location, the quiet village with a wonderful pub a short walk down the lane and all amenities a short drive away. The cottage decor was divine and the best beds we have ever had in an accommodation. Highly recommend staying here.
