Country Hideaways | Forge Cottage | Masham

Forge Cottage is a lovely, spacious property for two and can be found tucked away along a wynd between Masham market place and Park Street. A flagged patio path, with bistro furniture to enjoy sunny afternoons, leads from the wynd to the entrance which opens into a stylish modern kitchen with a central dining table. The kitchen is open plan and forms an L shape with the adjacent lounge which is centred on an inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove, making it a cosy place to sit during the cooler months, and has a lofted ceiling with exposed beams open to the rafters. Off the lounge is a large bathroom with separate shower cubicle, washbasin and toilet.

A staircase rises from the kitchen to a comfy double bedroom with king size bed and en-suite shower, washbasin and toilet. The bedroom also has a beautiful, lofted ceiling with exposed beams and two roof windows which give a beautiful down-light in the daytime and a view of the moon and stars at night. The pointed stonework of the bedroom walls, external bathroom walls and the high-level gable walls in the lounge have been left exposed but have been painted. This gives a beautiful texture forming mosaics and shadow tones and patterns with the changing light during the day.

Forge cottage is a stylish conversion with all the conveniences of modern life to hand. This trendy cottage for two is only a moments walk from the market place where there are pubs, cafes, shops, galleries and nearby riverside walks. Masham is an ideal centre for journeying to York, Harrogate, Ripon and Nidderdale and of course it is one of the gateway towns to the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Ford Cottage-Good central location

We enjoyed our stay in Forge Cottage. A clean and comfortable place, in an excellent central location. Only a short walk to the market place, and both Theakston's and Black Sheep breweries. Shirley was a very helpful host, providing extra lighting during an electrical outage affecting most of Masham for a short time.

A wonderful cottage in a great location.

A great cottage, very comfortable. We didn't want to leave. The location is perfect for visiting the surrounding area. We will be visiting Masham again (the third time for us, but first staying in this cottage), hopefully the cottage will be available when we visit again.

Masham break

Another lovely stay in Forge Cottage. A perfect place for two! Cosy, warm and has everything we need. Couldn't be nearer to the Market place with shops and places to eat. Delicious meals at the King's Head, White Bear Inn, Johnny Bagdad's and Harry's Chippy Shirley and David are perfect hosts, easy to contact. We will be back in September.

Long relaxing weekend in Masham

March 2026 - Long relaxing weekend in Masham, (4 nights) parked up and never moved the car until we left, perfectly situated to access Masham Market Square with Pubs, Shops Cafe's and a market, we bought some produce from the Bedale Community Bakery stall which were excellent, (It's the one with the long queue!!). Cottage is very comfortable and perfectly accommodating for two people, we took our own wood from home for the log burner, however you can buy this in Masham. Planning a return visit towards the end of the year.

One of the best cottages I have ever stayed in.

I can’t praise or recommend Forge Cottage highly enough. Lovely mix of old cottage with highest quality modern furnishings and fittings. Quiet but very central location in Masham. Another “hit” for Country Hideaways.

Ticks all the boxes!

Lovely and comfortable cottage in town centre of Masham, which is a great place for drinking (2 breweries at walking distance), eating (many options), country drives and/or walks. We're looking forward to come back.
