Another lovely week at Forge property on your lovely estate. No real complaints, but the lounge carpet could do with a good clean to get out the stains and we really need 2x hand towels, The large bath towels are not a substitute as they are far too big. Please get the hand rail put back in the swimming pool, it’s dangerous climbing out as slippery without it. It’s 4 years on the trot that we’ve been and find it wonderfully relaxing even though the weather/rain was awful

A comfortable, warm cottage though in places is showing signs of wear ie sofa and chairs and carpet could do with a deep clean but we realise we are right at the end of the season. The outside areas for the cottages ie the tables, chairs etc could also do with some attention - they look a bit ‘tired’.

Lovely kitchen, comfy sofas, very comfy beds and pillows, very clean bedding, plenty of hot water in shower, electric heating / storage heaters warmed up the bedrooms nicely, kitchen & lounge were cooler. A haven to return to after completing The Lap ultra marathon in September! The only disappointment was not being given advance warning that the Graythwaite farm shop on-site was closed. This resulted in a long car trip back beyond Newby Bridge to buy supplies.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2024
Let’s start with the positives, the location is lovely and it’s great that there’s a swimming pool and kids playground on site. Other than that, the property fell a long way short of what I’d expect of something advertised as luxury. No hand towels, no bath mat, hot water barely hot enough to do the washing up (luckily there’s an electric shower), damp damage in two bedrooms from a leak round the chimney stack - not the sort of things that spoil the holiday particularly, but clearly not what I’d expect from a “luxury” property. The biggest issue was probably the cleaning before our arrival - if you’re going to allow pets, you really need to make sure that you clean more thoroughly and treat for, e.g., fleas. More than one of us ended up with bites from sitting on the sofa. Needless to say, I don’t expect to return.
