  • "The perfect accommodation and location for a relaxing break near the sea."

    The propery had everything you could want and is very spacious. We will be returning with our dogs who had a great time walking around the estate.

  • "We had a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage."

    It was very well equipped, with a full set of instructions - and we really appreciated the goody bag and milk in the fridge on arrival. The grounds of the estate were gorgeous - felt like we were in an episode of Downton! The walk to the beach was longer than anticipated, but well worth it (and the climb back!) to have the whole beach to ourselves. We had a fabulous time - thank you.

  • "The cottage is lovely."

    It is well decorated, comfortable and spotlessly clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The walks round the estate are lovely and the walk down to the beach, although a bit steep in parts, is well worth it. The beach is beautiful and secluded. Easy driving to Lyme Regis, Axmouth, Seaton and Lyme Regis and surrounding villages. Lots of little shops and cafes and a Tesco in Seaton if needed. I cannot recommend this location and cottage highly enough.

  • "The house was absolutely great."

    Really nice setting and located in a good spot for exploring the coastal area. The listing online does not do the place justice. For example, there is a Nespresso machine, kettle, iron, hairdryer etc - none are listed and so we brought things we needn’t have. Adding them will make it clearer for people as to what they need to bring. Also, more minor, the dimming lights flicker a lot in the kitchen area when not at 100% and the bathroom light flickers too. The parking is really for 1 and the other is out of sight. These are minor, but some people will be more bothered about them. Still 5* in our view.

  • "We had a fantastic stay at The Forge."

    It was lovely quiet and peaceful. The accommodation had everything if not more than we needed. The problem was, the week passed by way to fast. We will definitely be coming back in the near future. Thankyou.

  • "Beautiful place to stay and in such a peaceful location."

    Lots of lovely walks and local places to visit. The walk to to local private beach is not for the faint hearted as access is very difficult to get to but a great pebble beach. Property was very well equipped and the welcome package was a nice touch. All local places we visited were dog friendly however many beaches were restricted for dogs but our two dogs have come home exhausted. Great place to spend time as a family and relax. Would recommend this highly.

If the weather allows, then you can always opt for dining alfresco in the enclosed courtyard garden where you can soak up the last of the day’s rays or fire up the outside woodburner and get warm.

As night falls, you’ll want to head off to bed and the bedrooms certainly don’t disappoint with an attractive ground-floor double bedroom and a magnificent king-size on the mezzanine level with feature sloping ceilings a real feature of the space.

There is nowhere better to wake up in the morning than here so after a refreshing coffee in the courtyard why not head out and explore?
