Description

Formerly a working forge situated at the end of a farm track within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and boasting a homely and welcoming interior, The Old Forge, formerly a working forge, offers an idyllic base for a romantic getaway to this sought-after part of the country. Park up on your private off-road parking space and climb the steps to your home-from-home for the duration of your trip, kicking off your shoes as you step over the threshold and make yourself at home. Put the kettle on and enjoy a cup of tea as you rustle up some tasty treats in the pint-sized kitchen, fit with all the modern amenities necessary to ensure an enjoyable self-catering experience, and head through to the neighbouring living/dining room to indulge. Gather at the dining table, backed by the stunning views across the surrounding greenery, and enjoy a hearty meal with your loved ones as you recount the days adventures, before settling down for the evening with a leisurely seat in front of the television, warming your toes with the glow of the woodburning stove in the cooler months. As the evening draws to a close, prepare for bed in the spacious walk-in shower before retiring to the delightful king-size bedroom to rest your head; beautifully appointed with a light and airy décor with towering ceilings, offering a tranquil setting to rest your eyes ahead of a new day. Wake-up as the sun rises and floods the room with natural light and head out to the front terrace to plan your itinerary for the day with your guests as you enjoy your morning coffee or climb the stone steps for a peaceful escape in the well-kept garden. Here you can enjoy delightful sunrises or enjoy watching the sun go down with a glass of wine. Get better acquainted with your surroundings and take the short stroll from your doorstep to the beach, where you can enjoy an invigorating dip in the tranquil waters of Freshwater Bay, or bask in the sun's rays with a lounge on the beautiful golden sand that decorates the front. Lace up your walking boots and follow the South West Coast Path south atop the towering cliffs and open moorland of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty towards Start Point, the most southerly tip of the county, and discover the remarkable architecture of Start Point Lighthouse, dating back to 1836. The Tradesman's Arms and Church House Inn nearby, offer local fayre and the Stokely farm shop can even deliver tasty treats to you from their farm shop. Venture further afield and spend a fun-filled day exploring the delights of the market town of Kingsbridge, home to an array of amenities, including a handful of supermarkets and eateries, perfect for satisfying your self-catering needs; or discover the town's local history with a visit to Kingsbridge Cookworthy Museum.
