Just come back from a long weekend at the Old Forge and cannot recommend it highly enough. Lovely owners who gave us a warm welcome, beautiful surroundings and not too far from Weston, even by Taxi. The building is amazing, heaps of history to it and very well kept inside and out. We will definitely be back in the future and would rank this one of the best we have stayed in.

Arrived early, met by host who was very welcoming and accommodating. Stepped inside a lovely warm, cosy and spacious cottage with the extra surprise of underfloor heating in the main lounge. Really appreciated the privacy and peacefulnes. The stay was exactly what we hoped it would be.
