The Old Forge

You enter The Old Forge into a double-height living and dining space defined by exposed stone, timber beams and a gallery overhead. The room feels generous and airy, with a woodburner for colder months. French doors lead from here to a paved sitting area facing the lake on the owners' grounds—a genuinely peaceful spot for mornings or evenings. The ground floor also holds a bedroom with a king bed and direct access to an Italian-style garden, plus a shower room and a kitchen with an electric cooker, dishwasher and everything needed for self-catering.

Upstairs, a wrought iron spiral staircase reaches the galleried twin bedroom, which overlooks the living space below. Beyond it sits a double bedroom with an en-suite shower and toilet. The house sleeps 6 in total across the three bedrooms. Parking for 4 cars is on site, and the property sits within 3 acres of shared grounds that include a lawned garden and a lake 100 yards away. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included; heating is oil-fired with underfloor warmth on the ground floor.

The location puts you within striking distance of Weston-Super-Mare's pier and sandy beaches, the quieter resorts of Burnham-on-Sea and Clevedon, and the caves at Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole. Wells with its cathedral and Bath are both within easy reach. The property does not permit smoking. Check-in is after 15:00; check-out is before 10:00.
