Renovation Story

For six long years The Smithy lay abandoned and empty.

Attempts by locals to raise funds to reopen as a community run pub were unsuccessful but it was clear that the residents of Charlton Musgrove and surroundings were crying out for the pub to be saved.

Eventually new owner Rebecca stepped in and injected life and warmth back into the much loved old Inn. 

Dating to the early 1800’s, the building was in a sad state of disrepair when Rebecca finally got the keys in June 2016. Over a nine month period, Rebecca and a team of skilled local craftsmen set about totally gutting and redesigning the interior layout, re-positioning the bar and making exciting discoveries such as the feature fireplace that is now the centrepiece to the lounge area. She also spent time searching local auctions and salvage yards to find interesting decor pieces including the tables and bar top which have been made using reclaimed cheese boards from Wyke Farm in nearby Wyke Champflower.

With an eclectic mix of vintage and antique furniture and rugs, the look is rustic and homely with a characterful contemporary vibe.

Future plans include converting the old skittle alley into luxury guest accommodation, watch this space.....

The magnificent original fireplace remained hidden for years but has now been revealed once more for all to enjoy
