Property code: OC-566718

Set in the hamlet of Tughall Steads on the Northumberland Coast, sits this snug and comfortable bolthole. Boasting fantastic countryside views, it’s a great retreat for a romantic weekend or as a base for the solo traveller. Newton-by-the-Sea is 2.7 miles from the property and is a charming village with a sandy beach which is great for sailing and windsurfing. Here, you can stroll along the shore to Dunstanburgh Castle, practise your swing at the 18-hole golf course, or spend the day bird watching at the freshwater nature reserve. Alternatively, head 4 miles from the property to Beadnell Bay Beach, a sandy cove loved by water sports enthusiasts, and spend the day kayaking, windsurfing, or wakeboarding. Boat trips also run from the harbour here so you can explore the Farne Islands.

Originally a Blacksmith’s forge, this one-bedroom studio property has been converted into an intimate and charming hideaway. Bijou in style, the open-plan living area is light and airy with a vaulted ceiling that gives the impression of space. The elegant sofa invites you to snuggle up with a film on the TV while a log burner keeps things warm on chillier nights. Overlooking the lounge is a compact kitchen equipped with high-quality appliances where you can rustle up a delicious meal and then serve it at the intimate dining table. Off from the lounge, a neat alcove features a king-size bed. Luxurious in design, windows and French doors swathe the room in light and you can watch the sunrise over the fields from the comfort of your bed. There’s also a bathroom on this floor.

Outside, the setting is idyllic. Start the day with a coffee at the garden table and listen to the sound of the trees rustling in the breeze or simply contemplate the rolling countryside views. Come evening, you can dine alfresco by candlelight and watch as the stars light up the sky.

The welcome gift of wine and nibbles was a very nice touch. We did feel that the property was very small for the price we paid and would have benefited from less clutter. It was a shame that there was nowhere to walk the dog around the property. The one footpath was blocked off.

The property was in a decent enough location. It felt damp most of the time and there doesn't appear to be enough ventilation. The saucepans and other cooking utensils should have been replaced before the holiday season began, they were well past their sell by date. Only two well worn tea towels were available although the bath towels were very gooRead mored. The information concerning refuse bins and recycling bins was of no use as we never found either where they were supposed to be, we ended up putting both in bins next to other properties. The bed was comfortable once you could get in from the bottom, a narrower bed would have made life easier. Hats off to the photographer, he made the property look much larger than it really is. Hide

We have previously stayed at The Forge and were delighted with our stay on the first occasion and that's why we chose to return. We love the location of the property as it is perfect for exploring the coastal path and beaches in the area, but also offers somewhere safe and enclosed for our dog whilst we sit and enjoy the view across the fields towaRead morerds the setting sun in the evenings. The bed is wonderfully comfy and even though the property is compact, the fact that it still offers a bath is wonderful after a long day of walking. I'm sure we will be back to visit The Forge again.
