The Melbury Room - Family/Double

Step into this spacious and charming country bedroom, where antique character meets modern comfort. At the heart of the room is a grand king-size sleigh bed, dressed in high-quality linen that invites you to sink in and unwind. Stunning wallpaper by local artist and friend, and warm, rustic touches create a cosy, welcoming atmosphere, perfect for couples seeking a romantic escape or small families looking for a peaceful retreat.

A small but well-appointed en-suite bathroom features a shower and sustainable toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. There’s also a comfortable sofa bed suitable for two children or one small adult. A chest of drawers and handy wall hooks provide ample storage for longer stays.

Guests can enjoy a selection of locally sourced tea, coffee, and biscuits, with a kettle and fridge provided for your convenience. Every detail, from the vintage décor to the thoughtful touches, has been designed to make your stay feel relaxed, homely, and just a little bit special.

For families, our children love it when others come to stay! Well-behaved children of all ages are very welcome. The sofa bed in the Melbury Room is a narrow double, and will comfortably sleeps one child or small adult — or two little ones snuggled up.

What People Are Saying

“So much more than what is advertised. A beautiful, friendly and welcoming B&B. We were very comfortable and well rested. Breakfast was beautifully cooked and the decor is lovely. Thank you for a lovely stay.”

“Sophie and her family bent over backwards to help with our needs. They were brilliant. I loved our room, it was beautifully done with a touch of quirkiness which is perfect for me.”

“A very comfortable and friendly place in a lovely location. We had a very enjoyable stay at the Old Forge. Our room - and indeed the whole place - is full of history and character and is the height of good taste. The bed was extremely comfortable and there were nice little touches in the room such as a mini fridge with water & milk, a vast array of tea bags, pretty china and very nice - & ethical - toiletries in the en suite. The breakfasts were very tasty, freshly cooked and were both locally sourced and of great quality. Even the yoghurt was made at a local farm. Sophie was a very friendly and helpful host and made our stay very pleasant. It is in a very lovely location and I only regret we didn’t have time to explore it further.”
