Forge House Reviews

Emma Carter
We absolutely loved staying here! The old forge has been beautifully renovated and is set in such a peaceful spot, surrounded by gorgeous meadows and wildflowers-perfect for unwinding. The location was quietand though the electric trains nearby were a bit frequent, it didn't bother us at all. With four bathrooms and plenty of bedrooms, our big family plus the dog all fit comfortably. The kitchen and dining area with folding doors opening to the patio was ideal for cooking and relaxing. Huge thanks to Lucy and Giles for sharing their lovely home!
Rachel
Our weekend was fantastic! The house was charming and nestled in stunning scenery. Plenty of activities nearby kept everyone entertained, from kids to grandparents. It really was a perfect family get-together spanning three generations.
Simon
Forge House is a superb place for a group of 12. The space is well thought out, especially the large bedrooms and the spacious kitchen with stunning views. We really enjoyed our stay!
Emily
Forge House was absolutely spotless when we got there and in such a beautiful location. The house was really comfy for all of us staying (13 people) and we can't fault it at all. Would definitely stay there again if the chance comes up!
Daniel
What a stunning location! The house is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a relaxing weekend away. We really enjoyed our time here and can't wait to come back!
Emma
Forge House is absolutely beautiful! The location is truly unique; we sat in the kitchen and watched deer stroll through the field behind. It's so peaceful, well equipped, clean, spacious and stunningly decorated. We stayed here for a friend's bachelorette and had an amazing time together. You're just 15 minutes from Bewl Water and Bedgebury Pinetum, with great walks right out the back door, plus a lovely hot tub to unwind in afterwards. Our hosts were really helpful and welcoming, so thanks for such a fantastic stay!
James
This is a fantastic and spacious house. It's very well equipped and situated in such a lovely quiet area. It's perfect for long walks. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well designed and equipped, making it great for a large group. The owners also provide a super useful file with info on local facilities and a generous welcome pack. Lucy, the owner, is really friendly and helpful!
Jamie
We felt like we had escaped from the world as soon as we arrived and it was so calming. The house really makes an impact with its clean, modernand light kitchen and dining area, which became the hub for socialising, plus the cosy sitting rooms were perfect for relaxing. All the bedrooms were very nice too. The garden is spacious with a fantastic panoramic view over the fields. We spotted deer, woodpeckersand loads of small birds. The firepit was perfect for sitting around and chatting. Ohand the starry sky away from city lights was a lovely bonus!
Sarah
This is honestly one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed in! The photos really don't do it justice. It's absolutely beautiful, super spaciousand perfect for a big family holiday. Sixteen of us stayed for a weekend to celebrate my mum and aunt's 60thand it was even better than we imagined! We can't wait to come back again.
Sophie
We had an amazing weekend with a big groupand the house was just perfect for us! It's really well equipped and has loads of space. Honestly, the pictures don't do it justice at all. It's super modern, cleanand just chic!
