    The Forge is a fabulous cottage, so beautifully converted by the owners, very nicely decorated, fitted out and kept very clean, we had a fabulous week staying at "The Forge" and would highly recommend it

  • Christopher

    For example “the upper part of the Extrator fan was very greasy and dusty.The Windows were dirty. The Bed although very big but has seen better days. I suffer with a very bad back and it definitely made my back even more painful and because of that, I lost a lot of sleep.

  • John

    She kept in contact to make sure we had all the cleaning,bedding changes etc that we wanted throughout. The cottage has been done to a high standard with good quality materials. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this property.
