Forge Holidays
The properties are based within the grounds of our small holding in the heart of Shropshire. * All newly built houses with fabulous surroundings for you to take time out. * The decor is luxurious and finished to a very high standard. * Contemporary with a cosy feel. * Beautiful furniture throughout. * Great quality bedding & beds. * Newly fitted shower rooms. * New flooring throughout. * New bespoke fully functioning luxury kitchens with integrated appliances for you to enjoy. Outside is peaceful and gorgeous and allows you every opportunity to enjoy where we live. If you love the outdoors, there is no where better... whether that be walking, sightseeing or just venturing to some of the great restaurants and attractions close by. Beautiful country walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep, with the public footpath passing through the garden and taking you with ease to a local village pub. Horse riding and cycling can be enjoyed directly from the property, with miles of trails and footpaths to enjoy. The cottage is in beautiful location, perfect for relaxing, in peaceful and beautiful Shropshire countryside, whilst being only a few miles from Shrewsbury and Church Stretton.
We look forward to welcoming you to 'The Old Forge'. We love having new guests come and enjoy our beautiful holiday homes. You won't be disappointed... Having moved to our 450 year old home almost 3 years ago, it has been our mission to get these beautiful homes built in the grounds and we are so delighted with the results. We wanted them to feel luxurious and they feel exactly that and hope you enjoy your stay. Please message if you need any help with planning your trip, we are more than happy to give help and advice.
We are in a very peaceful setting. Many attractions are very close to us and with less than 10 mins drive you can be in Shrewsbury and Church Stretton. We have a stream & public footpath running through the grounds. So perfect for those who want to sit and relax, cycle / horse ride or walk amongst the Shropshire countryside or hike over the Church Stretton hills straight from the property. Places to visit: * Church Stretton is 5 miles away with superb walking over the ‘Stretton Hill’s’. * The ‘Lawley’ and ‘Caer Carradock’ are in walking distance and can be seen from the property. * The Stretton hills are spectacular in all weathers, the wild ponies roaming the landscape are a great to see. * Church Stretton offers an abundance of places to eat and individual shops to enjoy. * The historic market town of Shrewsbury, with its medieval streets and timber-framed buildings is a 10 minute drive. * Shrewsbury offers independent boutique shopping, amazing restaurants, back street cafes and bars and the castle. * Plenty to offer for all ages, attracting visitors from far and wide. * Just 11 miles away, the medieval black and white town of Much Wenlock offers a fine selection of shops, inns and restaurants and again walking. * The 'Ironbridge Gorge Museum', The Pottery / Tile Museum, Science Museum and Blists Hill Victorian living museum are just a short drive. Horse & rider stays available - menage, full set of jumps, multiple stables and a horse shower available. This is at an extra charge, but feel free to drop me a note and I can provide further details.
