The old forge is amazing, we stayed just before lockdown so holiday was cut short, we will definitely be going back but next time for a week, it is in a hamlet and very very clean and very comfortable bed, I have been recommending to friends and family.

Enjoyed a relaxing week with our dog at The Old Forge. Great location for exploring the area, the cottage was sparkling clean on arrival and had everything we needed. The bed was amazing and we had a great nights sleep. The owner was very friendly and not at all intrusive. There was some building work going on next door but this didn’t affect us, as by the time we came home in the afternoon/early evening, they had gone. I’m already recommending The Old Forge to friends and family and we hope to return again ourselves at some point. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We had a fantastic extended stay at the Old Forge. The cottage is comfortable, clean and very well equipped, with a pretty outlook. The location is in a beautiful and peaceful part of Dorset not far from the coast, with walks from the door and markets and artisanal food offerings in nearby villages. My husband is an avid cyclist and had stunning rides. We enjoyed the sounds of birds and the trickle of the stream running through the hamlet during our dinners on the outdoor terrace, and the owners are incredibly charming and helpful. We would definitely go back. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

The Old Forge is the most idyllic place to stay in Dorset. The welcome you receive is wonderful and the cleanliness of the place is impeccable. The small hamlet of Wraxall is peaceful and good for the soul. Excellent links to the A37 and A356. Definitely a place we will be staying in again.

It was a romantic Christmas break, and it was just that. Judy decorated the Old Forge and supplied a lovely Christmas hamper for us. The bed was so comfortable and the shower was great too. If I had a criticism it would be the coffee table is too big for the Forge but that is my own opinion.

Lovely place to stay in a quiet hamlet. Need a car to get about in the darker evenings and no shops close by.

The Old Forge is a hidden gem. Peaceful and quiet. Easy walk 1.5 miles from a awesome local pub (Fox & Hounds) in Cattistock. Bed is amazingly comfortable and a large powerful shower ! Highly recommended place to use as a base to explore Dorset.

Fantastic holiday cottage for two in idyllic Dorset countryside. Dogs welcomed and the separate entrance hall allows you to deal with your wet or muddy canine friend easily. It only needs the stream running through the garden to be fenced off and your pooch could be allowed to run loose outside. Not a problem for us in November but in earlier months with warmer days you'd want to be outside on the patio and not worry about where your dog had got to!

The Old Forge was perfect for us, 2 adults & 1 dog. The garden was a good size & enclosed. Very pretty surroundings, nice country walks, nearest shop & pub took half an hour to walk to. Comfy bed & powerful hot shower.

I had a fabulous quiet, restful time at the old forge which was well equipped, with lovely unexpected extras. It was peaceful and off the beaten track but only 30 mins drive to the Jurassic coast. Walking routes were on the doorstep.

Warm welcome, cosy cottage, tranquil setting with good walking nearby and in the area. Convenient for Bridport, Sherborne, Beaminster and Dorchester. Good pubs nearby - the Fox and Hounds at Cattistock around 2 miles away, walkable when the weather is good/days longer. Hope to return.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely out of the way spot. One mile to the pub and shop and both worth the effort.
