The Old Forge is an attractive and cosy cottage, dating back to the 14th Century, when it was the village blacksmith. It has been sympathetically restored and decorated to retain some of the original features whilst offering modern comfort and convenience. The kitchen is recently installed with gas oven, hob and grill, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer.
There is a small terraced area by the front door. The cottage nestles in the heart of Bishops Tawton, a small village three miles outside of Barnstaple, along the River Taw. The Old Forge is just 5 minutes from the A361 linking North Devon to the M5. A great place to stay to explore Exmoor, a walker's paradise. The beautiful beach of Saunton Sands is only 15 minutes by car.
Croyde and Woolacombe, offering some of the best surfing in the UK are just 20 minutes away. For golfers there are many courses close by, including the Saunton Golf Club (15 minutes drive). It offers two links courses, one of which holds championship events.
