The Old Forge Cottage

4 Customer Reviews

• "We were a little concerned that we had booked a cottage bordering the busy A39 known as the Atlantic Highway, but the road is well shielded by trees and was not a problem."

  The property is spacious and well maintained, everything we needed was there and it is situated close to dog friendly beaches. The owners Lorna, Eric and lovely dog Jinx live in the adjoining house, they were kind, helpful and considerate. The garden was lovely, with free roaming chickens and a duck, my well behaved labrador was pleased to see them. We hope to return again soon.

• "Thanks to Lorna and Eric for a warm welcome to their cottage."

  Lorna baked a nice cake for our arrival. The cottage was quirky never knowing which way to turn. Cooking on an aga was different but not hard. Fully fitted country style kitchen. We only stayed for one week so didn't feel the need for the washing machine or dishwasher provided. The only downside was the main A39 running passed. It gets busy during the day but reasonably quiet during the night. We slept well. We had the opportunity to walk the fields but unfortunately the weather wasn't very nice. Bude is just 10 minutes down the road with a big Morrisons and the village itself has a Coop and Spa and local pub serving good food. All in all we enjoyed our stay. Thanks again to Lorna and Eric, hope to see you again sometime.

• "A wonderful holiday break, just far enough away from Bude not to have the holiday traffic issues but close enough to jump into the van and head to the beaches with minimum effort."

  Short drive into the small village for everything you might need from the CoOp which made this the ideal location for exploring everything the West coast has to offer. The house its self, while on a main road did not suffer with any noise issue from the road and the views from the conservatory across the fields were wonderful. Plenty of space to stretch out and rest in the garden and the owners were extremely helpful in all manner things including cake on the day of arrival and options to roam the fields they own and places to visit. Truly a wonderful little house, little quirky and fun getting to use the Arga system of cooking but got there in the end. Extremely clean and comfortable setting and with everything you need to have a great holiday from pots and pans to potato peeler and coffee pot. A great place for a family with kids who like to roam and run about both on the grounds but also the wider location with plenty to do come sun or even the rain knowing that you can come back and freshen up, chill with a hot chocolate or something stronger and rest. will happily revisit in the future, just need to sort dates out, well recommended the owners, house and location.

  Thanks Steve,be glad to see you both again Lorna and Eric Property Owner

• "Lorna and Eric were most welcoming and attentive hosts."

  They provided nice touches with some basic provisions plus the freshest of eggs from their chickens and a yummy cake. It was fun trying to cook on an aga. The property was lovely and clean and had a beautiful garden to sit in. The only down side is the close proximity to the main A39 and could be a bit noisy sometimes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
