“Absolutely beautifully finished little cottage.”
Attention to detail is fabulous. The cottage is within the garden and at the end of the drive of the owner, but it really wasn't an issue at all, Parking right outside the door next to the lovely weeping silver birch tree. Bev was friendly and welcoming but then left me to it. Her gardens are absolutely stunning and I really enjoyed looking out of the window over the summer borders. The bed is extremely comfortable, and even though it is an open plan, living room, bedroom with dining area, in one room, the way that it has been laid out feels spacious and calming. The decor is really lovely. I travelled alone and stayed two weeks whilst I worked in the area - there is also excellent wifi which was useful for me to catch up on work in the evenings. Unfortunately I didn't get to spend much time in The Forge, much to my dismay. It has such a nice feel, I could have happily relaxed and sat in the garden for hours. The second week I was there it was very hot. Bev had switched the duvet for a light summer duvet which was very thoughtful and added a fan but I didn't need it as with the windows and velux open through the evening, it cooled down nicely. The kitchen is compact and has no oven but that wasn't a problem for me. There is a combi microwave thing and Bev can provide a Chef Ninja which I think is an air fryer, but I didn't need it. Bev has kitted it out with everything you could need to prepare a meal. Even a loaf of home made bread, butter, and a pint of milk. Very useful for my late arrival. I highly recommend The Forge if visiting the area. I would definitely stay there again if I am in the area. Thank you Bev for a lovely stay.
Thank you Nicola for taking the time to send in a lovely review. We are so pleased you found The Forge a comfortable and relaxing place to stay. It would be nice to welcome you back if you’re in the area.
