Liz & Gary look forward to welcoming you to The Forge Guest Rooms. We try to be on site most of the time to welcome our guests, but if we cannot be there we offer a very easy self check in/out service for your convenience. Why not bring your friends, we also host private party's of 4 people incorporating the Plucking room and the pig sty room. The outdoor hot tub is extra large so there is plenty of room to share with your friends!
Long Whatton is a beautiful quiet village in the Leicestershire countryside, but also have the convenience of being close to Nottingham and Leicester city centres (half an hours drive for both) so you have the luxury of lovely shopping/restaurants and the bustle of the city life, and then retreat back to the lovely peace and quiet of a countryside setting to relax in the hot tub with a glass of bubbly! You can even bring a couple of friends as we have a second king size room, and you can all relax in our extra large hot tub!
