Pretty Old Forge in peaceful, scenic setting

Tastefully furnished and decorated, the property is surrounded by stunning countryside and just minutes from the South West Coast Path, The Old Forge is a perfect base to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. The beaches of Beesands and Torcross are within a 10 minute drive and the stunning Blackpool Sands a little further along the coast.

The Old Forge is a very romantic setting, particularly as it is quiet and secluded being tucked away at the end of a farm track. Delightful sunrises and can be enjoyed whilst sitting outside with a nice cup of tea/coffee. Or sunsets with a glass of wine or a good cold beer on the small but pretty area outside the forge entrance which looks over a barn or why not wander up the steps to the guests garden behind the Forge the see further afield where sleepy thatched cottage lights glow warmly.The towns of Kingsbridge and Dartmouth are within a 30 minute drive and local shopping facilities within 10 -15 minutes.

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.
