• "We found Forge cottage immaculately prepared, clean and welcoming."

  I noted the quality of the fittings. Bev was very friendly and talked to us several times. We stayed just 4 days but managed good walks in the locality, and a day out to Lavenham (exquisite) and Long Melford. It would be good to return to do more justice to that part of Suffolk, and to enjoy Forge cottage once more.

  Only slight minus is the lack of an oven, but with some great places to eat nearby it wasn't too much of a problem.

• "Utterly delightful cottage - tastefully renovated old forge where the old has seamlessly been blended with the new."

  Although not noted as suitable for those with mobility issues, my wheelchair using wife (who can stand and walk just a few meters) managed well. Our Hosts (Bev & Graham) were exceptional, welcomed us in person and a welcome basket of some basics was waiting inside. just 3-4 miles from Stowmarket (a quaint small town, that generally only takes cash) but also with major supermarkets for the larger shops and where cards can be used. Great chineese takeaway 5 min walk and general store/ post office 10 mins walk. As a bonus, the chickens entertained and greeted us outside the rear window each day. Easy drive to Bury St Edmonds, Felixstowe and Norwich. Loved visiting Flatford Mill (Constables Haywain) a short drive down the A12. Thank you for a fab holiday.

  Dear Ian & Susan Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us online. I am so pleased to hear how well Susan coped with her mobility issues and both had a great holiday at The Forge enjoying your days out & my cheeky chickens!! We wish you both the very best.

• "Bev and Graham made us very welcome at their property."

  This old forge has been skilfully made into a lovely studio dwelling. Many features have been retained into a modern setting, dressed with elegance and style. We had everything we needed and queries were addressed immediately. It was lovely to have the chickens, hearing them quietly clucking their chats to each other. Old Newton is a good centre from which to explore and there is plenty to do fairly close by. You could not fail to be pleased with your choice of property if you stay at The Forge.

  Dear Josephine & Clive We’d like to thank you for taking the time to write us such a lovely review and that you enjoyed your stay with us and our chatty chickens’s.
