The Old Forge Swanton Abbott Reviews

Maureen

WOW What a place! Firstly greeted by Bruno the Bear in all his majesty, then to walk in and find a spacious and well appointed home from home. We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing retreat to recharge our batteries!

Tracey

Loved the forge,everything you needed was there but didn't realise that there was no shops local.

James

The Old Forge is a very welcoming, warm and comfortable with all that is required for a relaxing holiday.

Anne Heather

Lovely little cottage, everything you needed and more with very generous welcome hampers, for humans and dog. Generous seating and dining areas so you could entertain friends if you wanted. Possibly the best equipped, cleanest and most comfortable cottage we have stayed in for years.

Barbara

This is our third visit to this beautiful cottage. It is comfortable clean and has everything you need for a really relaxing holiday. Perfect spot for exploring North Norfolk. Highly recommended anx we will be returning again.

Alex

The most relaxing holiday we've had for years! The cottage was very well equipped and extremely comfortable.

Helen

The accommodation was excellent and very spacious, everything we needed was there.

Christopher

Are you taking the micky, stayed 4 hours and drove back home a round trip of 250 miles .Total misrepresentation of 5 star accommodation.

Erik

clean, practical little place with all you need for a great time away from home. Not ideal to sit outside on this busy (therefor noisy) road, but the place itself is supurb.

Barbara

Beautiful, well equipped cottage. Great for exploring North Norfolk. Excellent welcome basket. Highly recommended

Andrew

A Cottage of contrasts. On the positive side it was very well equipped and the standard of fitments is very high. The bed is the best we have ever come across, super spacious and comfy. On the negative, the cottage is extremely close to a quite busy rural cross roads which isn't in the description or photos. The bedroom window is literally about 20 foot from the road so we couldn't have the window open for the noise and also the flies. Overall we did enjoy our visit to Norfolk. The cottage is very spacious and comfortable, but with these negatives it is not a cottage we would ever return to. It probably doesn't matter anyway as there was a planning application notice outside the cottage for a change from a holiday let to a normal dwelling.

Paul

A really nicely renovated cottage. It all felt new in terms of furniture and amenities and the hamper for us and our dog was a lovely touch. The location was great, 30 mins from Happisburgh and Cromer The only thing I would change would be the gaps in the gate, it might be a problem for guests with smaller dogs. That is honestly the only thing I could think of but it wasn't an issue with our dog. Loved it and would 100% recommend to our friends and family!

Sue

A lovely property, furnished to a high standard and very well equipped. The fantastic welcome hampers for us and the dogs was really appreciated. The bed was extremely comfortable and supportive, first holiday cottage I've not come back with back issues. There's a lovely dog walk through the woods 2 minutes away. The local pub is closed, however we tried The Goat Inn (4 miles away) which was good and also dog friendly. We had a great time exploring the surrounding area and plan to come back

Sam

From the minute you stepped through the door you felt welcomed. It was lovely and warm, spotlessly clean and had not one, but too hampers that were bursting at the seams, our dog was very happy with his hamper. When it says â??Dogs welcomeâ?? they really do mean it. There were so many little extras that we have not experienced before. The Old Forge is a touch of luxury in a beautiful area with lovely walks on the doorstep. The only downside is the fact that when we looked to re-book it is pretty much full for the whole year ahead!

Gerald

Everything was perfect, hamper was lovely, very clean lodge, very well equipped lodge, lovely location.

Heike

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Old Forge and would certainly recommend staying there. It is beautifully decorated, well equipped, clean, comfortable, warm and the welcome pack was generous and creative. Our two lively dogs enjoyed running around at nearby Tuttington Dog Park and Mundesley beaches, and there were lovely walks close by. Thank you for a wonderful and restful week.

Deborah

Another fabulous short break. Fully equipped cottage and a beautiful Christmas tree and decorations as well. We had a great time as always and will be back.

Chris

The property was beautifully furnished and equipped, everything appeared to have been thought of. The property was clean, warm and welcoming and the goody baskets for humans and dogs was thoughtful. It was the best cottage weâ??ve stayed in and deserves five stars.

Leni

The Old Forge was beautifully furnished and well equipped. The hampers and wine were a lovely welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, as did our dogs. We would love to go back and discover more of the area.

John

We absolutely loved The Old Forge it was all we could have wished for and more. It was spotless, warm & welcoming and it ticked all our boxes. We particularly liked the attention to the outside space also with mixed herbaceous beds, wildlife pond and seating areas. We could only imagine what it looks like in spring and summer!

Steven

Lovely inside, very warm and cosy. Ideal base for exploring the surrounding areas.

Leslie

What a lovely place really well decorated and furnished a pleasure to stay in, just had tv envy when got home and looked at ours. For us it was a great base to roam and a couple of pubs within easy drive.

Martine

This lodge was perfect we loved it

Angela

I booked the property for our first visit to Norfolk based mainly on the photos on the website and I can honestly say that they didnâ??t do it justice. I think it had to be the best property we have ever rented. The location was peaceful and I really enjoyed having my breakfast and an early evening drink on the decking overlooking the pond and cottage garden. The interior was beautiful and really stylish and comfortable. The property was equipped with everything we needed and the card, wine and hamper was generous and much appreciated. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this property.

Adrian

A lovely conversion. I think the fact that this is our second vacation here says it all. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Shona

Lovely cottage. Beautifully furnished with thoughtful touches. The garden was delightful. Particularly liked the option to sit in the shade under the mature oak tree.

Michael

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Forge Swanton Abbott - lovely welcome hamper and even our dogs received treats - thank you again. Beautifully furnished.

Nicholas

This accommodation was far better than expected! Photoshopping can often misrepresent but in this case everything was beyond our expectations!

Barbara

A really beautiful, well equipped cottage in a peaceful village. Ideal for exploring the North Norfolk coast. Welcome hamper was very generous. Highly recommended!

Geoff

Another amazing stay at the Old forge. You don't want for anything. Spotlessly clean. Will definitely return.

Louise

Beautiful, charming cottage in peaceful location. Unfortunately the weather was not great when we were there so we were very thankful that the accommodation was so comfortable and the living area spacious enough for us and our two dogs. The extra touches, such as the welcome hamper, card and other â??extra bitsâ?? were much appreciated. A real home from home.

Brenda

Perfect accommodation. Would definitely recommend

Leonard

Interior design modern, practical, spacious, very qood quality everything one needs for two people is provided. The cottage with its little garden was always a pleasure to return to at the end of the day.

Gaynor

The Old Forge is beautifully and comfortably furnished and extremely well equipped. There are lots of little extra touches which show how much thought has gone into making a stay here really comfortable and enjoyable.

Michael

The old forge is to a very high standard, nice and warm heating system, very comfortable bed and plenty of seating. situated in a quiet and rural area but only a short drive to Cromer, Sheringham etc. on average a 30 min drive. Although no pubs or places to get a meal in the village there is places within 15 mins of the cottage.

Laura

Very relaxing. Clean through out, lovely place to stay

Geoff

This is truly one of the most amazing cottages if not the best we have ever stayed in. Everything was amazing from top to toe Will definitely share with family and friends. Will be returning next year.

Craig

We found the cottage easily using the directions given and immediately loved it on entering. There is so much space and very comfortable with a huge TV! There was everything that we needed - and more - especially in the kitchen and the welcome pack was very gratefully received. The wireless phone chargers in the bedroom are a nice touch and the bed was very big and very comfortable. We stayed for 3 nights but would have loved to stay longer as it is a perfect base for all the area has to offer - walks/beaches/market towns/lovely pubs (take a trip out the Gunton Arms if you can - lovely location and excellent food). All in all a fantastic long weekend in North Norfolk in a fantastic cottage.

Stephen And Linda

Lovely cottage, well equipped, good location

Deborah

It is a lovely place to stay.
