Lovely hidden away place
Really lovely and quiet stay - pictures look nice but the place itself is nicer still! We would have loved to have stayed longer and had more time to walk and explore the nearby beaches.

A quiet retreat with great views, within walking distance of the coast. We had a wonderful time enjoying the beauty of the Devon countryside. Our host was helpful and gave good suggestions for walks and eateries.

Lovely, secluded location with easy access to coastal paths
Liz & Ivan communicated extremely well throughout the booking process. The cottage was ready for us, despite arriving an hour early. It was a particularly cold spell of weather, but the wood burner warmed up the living room extremely well and the electric blanket on the bed was a nice touch. Overall, the cottage had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. Peace, quiet and access to the coast (5 minute walk). Amazing views from the cliff tops and great, fresh seafood at the Cricket Inn in Beesands.

Wonderful Getaway
We only had 2 days to spend at this lovely property as we were on route to visit friends. It was the perfect place to chill - away from all the busy-ness of everyday life. The area has gorgeous walks/scenery. The hosts were very welcoming and provided everything you may need to make a comfortable break. The little cottage is very cute and well appointed. Thank you for a lovely stay.

HAD A BRILLIANT SHORT STAY
The property is great and we had a fantastic couple of nights, obviously, 2 days was not long enough to explore the beautiful coastline but it was a great last-minute booking to get away from busy life. Liz and Ivan are really nice hosts and provided so much information about the area. We will be back again soon!

Old Forge cottage in relaxing location
The property was perfect, 10 minutes walk to Hallsands beach and great coastal walk access. Local pub The Cricketers at Beesands is 25 mins walk or 5 mins in the car but you will need to book in advance as it’s very popular. Cottage was really clean, we wanted for nothing and Liz was really helpful and gave us local advice. The only thing I would advise is to stock up on amenities before you get to the cottage as it is quite remote but the remoteness is a key attraction of the cottages location. We will definitely be returning.
