While most found it a delightful retreat, a few noted cleanliness could be improved. Welcome gifts added a thoughtful touch.
Most guests were pleased, but some concerns were raised about dust, cobwebs, and floor cleanliness. These issues seem isolated rather than systemic, suggesting a generally good but occasionally inconsistent standard of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its tranquility, proximity to dog walks, country pubs, and beaches. It's also within easy driving distance to attractions like The Deep in Hull, making it an ideal rural retreat.
Guests found the beds very comfortable and the living areas spacious and cosy. The presence of a hot tub also contributed to the overall comfort of the stay.
The property is well-equipped with smart TVs and a hot tub, though there were minor issues with freezer space and maintenance. Overall, facilities are appreciated and add to the enjoyment of the guests.

We stayed at the old forge for 6 nights. The old forge is a rural retreat, that is a hidden gem. It is a dog friendly cottage that has a lovely dog walk on its doorstep. The cottage has been well planned, well equipped and has a mixture of traditional and modern decor. There are three smart TVs. We found the king sized bed very comfortable. The cottage also has a small garden area with. a hot tube that was always heated to 40 degrees. . We enjoyed our stay there. Being unfamiliar with the local area we-found the surrounding villages very pleasant to visit. There are a number of lovely country pubs not far away. We were also enjoyed visiting the of Beverley.
