“Fantastic cottage and excellent value.”

We met the lady owner on arrival, she was very friendly and helpful. We had no problems whatsoever and followed the instructions left in the cottage. Would and have already recommended this cottage to friends and family.

“The Forge was exactly as advertised and pictured online - it was very clean and had everything we could possibly need for our stay.”

There was some road noise at night, but the location made a great base for easy access to the local area so it was a small price to pay! We had a particularly good meal at La Campagna in nearby Paulston (as recommended by someone else on this website). If you're planning to cook your own meals though, the Aga does take some getting used to! We really enjoyed our stay at The Forge and would definitely recommend a stay here!

“So very clean ,spotless ,it was very very hot while we were away so found it difficult to sleep ,especially no opening window in bedroom so slept with door open to the road not the safest , and no outdoor space , beautifully presented cottage very well thought out , needed fans , ideally situated for touring , loved it .”

“A well renovated, clean, well appointed and well equipped cottage.”

A perfect location for a stay in Somerset and all the sights. Although on a busy road the noise was not too intrusive and something you get used to. The only one niggle was the small double bed. Only because we are used to a kingsize and would have preferred slightly more room. I think the bedroom would be big enough to accommodate one. Otherwise, the owners have thought of everything even down to a heated towel rail which felt luxurious!

“Salt and pepper condiments would have been nice.”

All other facilities exceptional.

Mrs Short June 2021

“We were disappointed with the cleanliness of cottage, especially in the bathroom.”

Great walk in shower, badly let down by an old and mouldy shower mat, unusable. The toothmug was disgusting, really dirty with debris from a previous user. These are basics in a cleaning routine. This wasn't the experience expected.

“The Forge was very well appointed with excellent household items for your use.”

Only draw back was I had to go to IKEA on the way home to buy bath mats because the wife really liked them!

“This is a very well equipped cosy cottage well situated for lovely walks and beauty spots.”

It is also within easy access of Bath and Wells.

“The owner Sarah was very helpful and accommodating.”

It was nice to have all facilities on one level.

“The Forge is a very comfortable holiday home with all the appliances and gadgets that you need - a real home from home.”

It is fitted out to a very high standard and is well maintained. It is in a great location for visiting Bath, Bristol, Wells, the Cheddar Gorge and Weston-super-Mare. The weather was kind enough to us to allow us to visit all of those places and, on the one day when it rained heavily, we were very warm and cosy reading our books and watching television.

“The cottage is ideally placed for many attractions.”

Unfortunately because of the situation we didn't feel confident to go to many of them.We drove around the lovely countryside particularly enjoying Cheddar Gorge.We did have two meals at The New Inn at Farmborough which were very nice and we also went to Clevedon on the coast which was lovely ( Much more our cup of tea than Weston Super Mare) The weather was also a bit unpredictable so we ended up having a very lazy week in the cottage- reading and watching television. The cottage was ideal for this, warm and comfortable, so although our holiday wasn't quite as normal,we still enjoyed it. The owners were very pleasant and helpful when the electricity went off ( briefly) one day.One small thing ( which didn't spoil our holiday- it's just an observation ) We could have done with a slightly more crockery and cutlery.We found we had run out before we even had half a load in the dishwasher. This meant we had to wash up some mugs for our fifth cup of coffee or run the dishwasher half empty.

General instructions good, didn't make it clear heating was on constant, not a massive fan of the Aga, but very clean and comfortable, would recommend the Campagna at Paulston, but not the New Inn
