“The listing doesn't show how nice this place is.”
It was much better than expected and felt much roomier than it looked in the photos. (Maybe due to high ceilings? Maybe camera angles?).
There is actually central heating run off a boiler now, rather than storage heaters as listed, as well as a back-up electric panel heater in lounge, underfloor in bathroom and a log stove.
The garden was secure for our medium-sized dog. Slate floors, everywhere but bedrooms, made it easy to clean up the sand that came home with the dog too.
The kitchen was well equipped for self catering, with good pans and sharp knives etc and there was space in the cupboards for groceries. Everything was in working order, but electric oven is not a fan one though so does take a fair while to warm up.
We only used one bedroom but the double bed was quite comfortable. Sofas were comfy too. (They are leather though, if you are reading this and vegetarian).
Views were nice, a lake with swans on from lounge and lovely sunsets from kitchen window (I must have taken about 20 photos).
Local roads are mostly single track but not too, ("too" as in like Cornish), narrow and have enough passing spaces to get by. There is a stony beach about 15 mins walk away and other great ones a short drive away. We only visited beaches, so cannot comment on other local points of interest.
I really enjoyed this trip, in spite of the rain.
I would certainly book The Forge again if I returned to the area.
