Description
Originally the village forge, as the name would imply, this Grade II listed detached character cottage is tucked away in the quintessential village of Binham. Beautifully renovated to retain its original charm, The Old Forge has been transformed into a magnificently stylish and romantic holiday retreat. Creatively furnished to blend an eclectic mix of old and new, emphasis has been placed on comfort and relaxation. A splendidly verdant mature south and west facing garden wraps around the rear of the cottage, exuding the allure of a secret garden.
Now a feature fireplace in the open-plan kitchen/ dining area, the original blacksmith's hearth still stands holding a modern wood burning stove. With everything provided in the well-equipped kitchen, the opportunity to sample the delicious local produce is not to be missed. Share food, wine and conversation long into the evening gathered around the farmhouse table set under original beams. A sympathetic extension houses a sumptuous sitting room with an open fire and french doors overlooking the garden. Also accessing the garden, the inner hallway serves as a convenient boot room. For guests who enjoy a quiet space, a small study with a comfy chair also provides a reading lamp. Curated over one ground floor level, the two bedrooms are situated on this floor. The master bedroom with accompanying dressing room hosts a contemporary four poster king-size bed appointed under a skylight, and is served by an en suite bathroom featuring large free-standing bath. Superbly styled bedroom two also hosts a king-size bed, and is served by a walk-in shower room. Outside, the extensive gardens comprise of lawned areas, box hedging, and mature fruit trees set amongst other foliage. Upon returning from one of the many local walks, muddy dogs and boots can be rinsed off using the outside taps. Parking for two cars is available for two cars to the front of the cottage.
Binham is a pretty rural village, set almost entirely within a Conservation Area, with a good pub, convenient village store and atmospheric Benedictine Priory ruins all just a short walk away from The Old Forge. Only three miles inland from the coastal village of Stiffkey, this hideaway is a perfect base from which to explore this beautiful part of North Norfolk by foot, bicycle or car.

Response from the manager We are sorry that The Old Forge wasn't for you. We have spoken to the guests before you who have confirmed they had a lovely time, really enjoyed the property and didn't leave early. We have had approximately 30 bookings for The Old Forge so far and yours has been the only negative review but we have passed your comments onto the owner. Thank you.
