About this cottage rental

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.

A fabulous cottage for two right in the heart of Masham. The cottage is very spacious and well equipped, including a very effective log burner. There are several shops, including a bakery and several pub/restaurants all within a short walk. Masham is a short drive into the Dales or across to Sutton Bank and the Moors. Easy day trips to Ripon and Thirsk, to visit the James Herriot museum.

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Our recent stay at a charming cottage in North Yorkshire was nothing short of magical. Forge Cottage offered the perfect mix of comfort, character, and tranquility. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The cottage was beautifully maintained—spotlessly clean, warm, and thoughtfully decorated with a blend of traditional features and modern touches. The wood-burning stove, exposed beams, and stone walls gave it a cozy, rustic charm, while the well-equipped kitchen and comfortable Kingsize bed made us look forward to the best sleep each evening. Location-wise, it was ideal. We were a short drive from picturesque market towns like Bedale and Northallerton, and within easy reach of the North York Moors National Park. There are a variety of ancient castles in the surrounding area - well worth a visit. It was peaceful, relaxing and was comfortable too. We felt like we were home from home. Our hosts were equally wonderful—friendly, responsive, and full of helpful local recommendations (don’t miss an array of local shops, pubs and two local breweries. This cottage is a fantastic choice, it holds a special place in our hearts. We will definitely be returning.

Great cottage for two. Comfortable, spacious, with all mod cons. There really is plenty of on street parking - so don’t be put off. Masham really does have everything, and it’s right on your door step.

I have stayed at Forge Cottage in Masham many times. The cottage is 5 stars !. The location in the centre of town is convenient for all the shops and cafes etc. Masham is now a very popular location on the edge of the dales, and provides endless walks along the river and in the wonderful countryside.

Lovely cottage tucked away in the centre of Masham, spotlessly clean and very well equipped with everything you need for a lovely holiday. There is no parking outside the property, but we had no issues with parking in the Market Square. Shirley and David were very hospitable and have thought of everything, maps, walking books and laminated routes! Highly recommend a trip to the Black Bull in Paradise to sample the Theakstons ale there, and the food at the White Bear is lovely too.

10.0 / 10.0

Forge Cottage was a perfect location for us - just off the market square with all the shops you need within easy walking distance as well as several pubs, 2 breweries, a Michelin restaurant, a lovely church and walks from the cottage front door. The cottage is well appointed, nice furnishings and very quiet.- the log burner was very welcome in the cold evenings.

The Forge Cottage is the ideal place to stay in Masham being just a few meters away from the village square yet quiet enough to allow for a lovely relaxing break. The owners where great with their communication and checked in with us to make sure everything was okay. There are Cafes, Art galleries, pubs, restaurants and shops just a moments walk away and there are plenty of lovely countryside walks if you like to get out and about. The cottage was spotlessly clean and has all the facilities to make your stay comfortable. There are plenty of pots, pans and utensils in the kitchen and complimentary toiletries are supplied for the two shower and bathrooms. A lovely welcome was left in the form of two beers from the local Brewery ( one was a Rob Burrow special edition brew, and for a fan of rugby this was just perfect). The lounge was a perfect place to relax after a long day out and if you prefer not to watch TV then there were books, Jigsaws and DVD's provided for those rainy days or you could always go on a Brewery tour if it rains, as we did.

Lovely little cottage right in the centre of Masham. Well placed for everything. Very clean. Lots of little extras. Comfortable bed and seating. Only thing it's missing is a garden and a parking space, although parking is easily found close by. Lovely walks from the door, we only used the car once all week. Plenty to do and see in Masham. Would recommend the cottage to others and will definitely stay here again.

Our early spring week away in Masham was restful and our stay at Forge Cottage ensured that… Well equipped and clean, our one bedroom cottage had all that we needed for our regular stay in Masham . Grey skies and showers didn’t prevent us from discovering a bit more in the town itself and the surrounding area. Good food and great ales made the week very pleasant and we will definitely return to this part of North Yorkshire ..

We have been visiting Masham for over ten years now and have never been disappointed with the cottages we have stayed in! Our first stay in Forge Cottage and it deserves all the five stars I have given. A very clean, comfy and well equipped cottage. Shirley and David are very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be booking another break at Forge Cottage.

The Forge cottage is a fabulous place to stay. Great location for amenities, walking, eating out, brewery's. Good base to explore the Dales. The Forge is comfortable, warm and clean. A nice touch was one beer from each of the brewery's. It's the little things that make it special. I was fortunate to meet the owners who were very nice and helpful. They put a table and two chairs outside in the hope of nice weather. Unfortunately the snow stopped us from using them I would highly recommend The Forge. We hope to be back

Forge cottage is a lovely home from home, well equipped, in a prime location, very clean and comfortable. We have tried various cottages, B&Bs and hotels in the area but we think finally found the ideal place to stay. We tried the chips from Harry’s (10/10), had a meal at the Bruce and a snack at the White Bear. Old Peculiar was sampled at all the local establishments with The Kings Head coming out the best in my husband’s opinion. Masham is such a great place to visit that we come back time after time and Forge Cottage will be top of the list for a place to stay next time.

My husband and I stayed at Forge cottage for 4 night's. Cottage was clean and comfortable, and very spacious for 2 adults. Kitchen had everything we needed, the lounge was very roomy, and the sofas very comfortable. It was great to have milk/tea/coffee etc on arrival, as well as local beer and chocolates. Having the en-suite upstairs was great. The bed was comfy, with good quality bedding. Toiletry sets were handy too. The courtyard, although small, was a lovely spot for morning coffee. Parking was never an issue as plenty of spaces to park, either on the road, or in the free car park in the sqare. Being a 2 minute walk from the local amenities was perfect. Fabulous fish and chips at Harry's, and the pubs were great. Small local supermarket and garage were a 5 minute walk. A beautiful spot, central to great walks, historical sights, and beautiful countryside. Communication was great from start to finish. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Forge, be it for a couple of nights, a week or longer.

This was our second stay at Forge Cottage and it won’t be our last. The cottage is spotlessly clean and a real home from home with everything you could possibly want. We’re always able to park very close by, and the centre of Masham is about a two minute walk away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Forge Cottage, it’s superb!

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.

10.0 / 10.0

Really recommend this cottage; it is perfectly situated - just an extremely short walk through the arch into the Square and very near to a butchers, small general store and the bakery. No parking, but lots very near by. The owner, Shirley, is very "hands-on", which was very helpful when it came to sorting out the re-cycling! She will know what I mean.
