Enjoyed a relaxing week with our dog at The Old Forge.

Enjoyed a relaxing week with our dog at The Old Forge. Great location for exploring the area, the cottage was sparkling clean on arrival and had everything we needed. The bed was amazing and we had a great nights sleep. The owner was very friendly and not at all intrusive. There was some building work going on next door but this didn’t affect us, as by the time we came home in the afternoon/early evening, they had gone. I’m already recommending The Old Forge to friends and family and we hope to return again ourselves at some point. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We had a fantastic extended stay at the Old Forge.

We had a fantastic extended stay at the Old Forge. The cottage is comfortable, clean and very well equipped, with a pretty outlook. The location is in a beautiful and peaceful part of Dorset not far from the coast, with walks from the door and markets and artisanal food offerings in nearby villages. My husband is an avid cyclist and had stunning rides. We enjoyed the sounds of birds and the trickle of the stream running through the hamlet during our dinners on the outdoor terrace, and the owners are incredibly charming and helpful. We would definitely go back. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Stunning, simply stunning

The Old Forge is the most idyllic place to stay in Dorset. The welcome you receive is wonderful and the cleanliness of the place is impeccable. The small hamlet of Wraxall is peaceful and good for the soul. Excellent links to the A37 and A356. Definitely a place we will be staying in again.
