“A beautiful, quiet village setting for a comfortable stay in a luxurious, spacious cottage.”
+Clean, spacious accommodation with large, comfortable bed and super-equipped kitchen with milk, butter, cereals, tea/coffees selection provided, plus extra towels for our stay. Mark was very welcoming, kind and helpful throughout.

+A wonderful, quiet, comfortable, well equiped and spacious little cottage. The little deck outside was perfect for breakfast in the sun. The host and his wife were very fiendly and provided us with complimentary basics for breakfast and made us feel right at home. It was definitely one of the highlights during our stay in the UK.

“Far above anything else in this market”
+Self catering but the generous supply of provisions provided was superior to anything encountered in 60 years of self catering throughout England and Wales. This includes annual visits to Somerton for several decades to visit family and we usually stay in Lynch House B&B in town for two nights. Could not enjoy the superb breakfast there for longer and we are very pleased that we were able to secure The Forge for four nights
−At our age and my medical issues the steps from the bedroom to the bathroom were a problem but we managed and will visit again if we can

“Superb”
+The atmosphere and the comfort. The owner was nice and welcoming. The location is peaceful and very close to many point of attractions. The cottage offers many facilities which we did not expect such as a towel drier or a slow cooker for instance.
−There was an issue with hot water as the supply was not sufficient and had to take a cold shower. Not a great experience: it put me off. Apparently the hot water is not sufficient in the morning due to the high demand in the area at that time. Hot running water should be a basic nowadays and I hope the owner can sort this out. I guess in winter could be a real trouble.

“I would recommend this property! Excellent!”
+This is an exceptional cottage which has been renovated to a very high standard. It was very clean, beautifully decorated and everything you need for a holiday!
−The sat nav took me right to within 50m of the property although I couldn’t see a sign with the name of the property! (probably my poor eye sight!!)

“A fantastic, hidden little gem!”
+In a very beautiful and peaceful part of the country, what’s not to like about this fantastic little gem? A comfortable and spacious guest house which the time and effort put into making it such is very apparent throughout. From the characterful interior to the very cosy beds, It’s immaculately clean and perfectly equipped with everything you could need for your stay. The friendly hosts are very hospitable and generous, with mark greeting on arrival and insuring you have everything you need, even leaving complimentary little goodies as well. You are made to feel exceptionally welcome from the start and this made our stay all the more pleasurable and relaxed. The property itself is surrounded by beautiful walks in the Countryside right from the front door, and is in close proximity to a fantastic local pub/restaurant and a short way from the beautiful street and Clark’s village. The Old Forge was a wonderful find for us, one which we will be sure to return to in the near future. Many thanks to Mark and his lovely wife for having us.
−There is nothing to not like about the Old Forge unless you’re looking for a city break.
