The Old Forge

The Old Forge is in the perfect place for our family to stay whilst on holiday in Cornwall. The areas we like to visit such as Treen and Porthgwarra are just a short drive away. The Minnack theatre is a ten minute drive from the village. There are several supermarkets to choose from in Penzance so we can buy food etc. needed for our holiday. The house is very clean and well-equipped with everything you need to facilitate a comfortable - home from home - vacation. There is a welcome pack of biscuits or cakes, tea, coffee milk etc. and a bottle of champagne on arrival.

The village has a church, shop and a pub - local people are very friendly.

The house is situated on a main road but you do not hear traffic when you are indoors.

We are so pleased to have found the Old Forge and love staying here - we hope to return again next year.

Thank you to Aspects Holidays

We have stayed in the Old Forge on three occasions previously and keep coming back. We love it here.

The house is clean and well maintained. It has all the equipment that you need to make you feel at home. The house is bright and airy in Summer, warm and cosy in the Autumn.

St Buryan is a lovely village consisting of a well-stocked shop, a pub and a church. About a mile and half outside the village is a farm shop which has lots of local produce. People in the village are friendly and helpful.

We are hoping to return later in the year.

Many thanks to Aspect Holidays

PLEASE if possible book by contacting the owner directly. In our case, he, with the help of the very efficient Housekeeper Angela solved our problem we were presented with. Aspects-holidays did not !!!!!

We have stayed at the Old Forge on three occasions and loved our holidays there. The property and the area is perfect for our family. We hope to visit again next year.

The Old Forge is lovely, comfortable, accommodating property well situated in a great little village . The local shop , although not big in size , is was very well stocked with a bit of everything really & somewhere not to be overlooked before you drive to a big supermarket for the odd item . The local pub , The St Buryan Inn is cracking place for a pint & also serves some lovely food . The staff are very welcoming & friendly which is exactly what you want in an unfamiliar place.
Parking at the accommodation is a bit tight, I found the best option was to reverse park into the space as the road can be busy at times , if you have an SUV , parking on the opposite side of the road might be a good option.
Overall we were all very happy with our choice of accommodation & would be happy to return again sometime.

A lovely, nicely converted old property with ample space for our party of 4 adults and one child situated on the edge of the village though not as secluded as we’d expected and right next to a main road through the village.
There is also only one very small parking space on the property. That said we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and it’s general location made it very easy to get to lots of lovely beaches and towns both around Lands end and the Lizard.

Our second stay at the old forge & just as good as the first! Beautiful, clean, spacious holiday home in the perfect location!

After our initial two hours of cleaning we found The Old Forge a nice and comfortable place to stay. Parking and garden could do with some attention, also we didn’t see the need for two dining tables - conservatory furniture would have been better.
The pub in St Buryan served excellent food with very reasonable prices.
It’s a good place to stay for visiting the surrounding area.

Perfect stay in a beautiful little cottage. Plenty of room for 3 adults and 2 children. Lovely local pub and gorgeous beaches such as Porthcurno and Sennen!

A really lovely cottage in a very central location to all our favourite spots in Cornwall, very comfy and spacious cottage and had everything we needed! We would definitely recommend the old forge! :)

I really don't think you want me to review this property...

A beautiful well equipped home in a quaint village near to all of our favourite spots.

A perfect base for a well needed get away for our family of 4 & we can’t wait to return!

Slightly worried about the parking after reading previous reviews…spot was very tight although our designated driver managed to squeeze the Q7 in everytime (not a problem!)

Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying at the old forge for our Christmas, the property was was beautiful and had plenty of space for our family to enjoy our Christmas

Lovely cottage, away from the noise and bustle but so close to what is great and still unspoilt about West Penwith. Super to be part of a seemingly thriving village for a week.
(If you are going to the Scillies, only 10 mins from Lands End airport).

An excellent location for exploring the South West tip of Cornwall as everywhere was within easy reach from St Michael’s Mount to Cape Cornwall.
The 3 large bedrooms were very comfortable.
The spacious conservatory was lovely.
Well furnished property and well stocked in the kitchen.
It would be a bit of a squeeze for 6 adults in the lounge. There are 5 adult seats & 1 bean bag. Would be fine with children.
A well stocked shop in the village and good farm shop close by.
We loved the area and would be happy to return here.

Excellent property in lovely St Buryan. The property met all of our expectations and was very comfortable, especially the beds which can sometimes be very uncomfortable. We used the local pub and sampled the delights of the farm shop, all good. Would happily stay at this property again

The Old Forge is finished and equiped to a good standard, bedrooms and beds are particularly good, there is some road noise in the bedrooms adjacent to the road which fortunately isn't very busy. Downstairs layout reflects the heritage of the building, easily big enough for 4 but a bit cramped for 6 guests.

The Old Forge St Buryan is a lovely property.
The furnishings are of a very high standard and it feels very homely.
There is everything you need kitchen wise (utensils)in the property everything has been thought about.
We were disappointed with outside area outside the conservatory which needs some TLC.
The property is central to getting out and exploring the nearby areas.
I can recommend the local pub in the village and I have to say local villagers that we met were both very friendly and helpful.
Aspect holidays were very helpful and prompt on service when needed.

We had a great holiday and enjoyed staying at the old forge, the local pub was very friendly and good food, the local shop was well stocked. Great area to stay with many good beaches to visit and places of interest.

The old forge is a lovely property and met our expectations of a much awaited holiday in Cornwall. Lovely village location with friendly pub and a village shop with everything you could need whilst on holiday. Great area to access all the wonderful coves of this area not least the wonderful Sennen Cove just a 10 minute drive away. Would definitely recommend and wish we were still there.

We stayed at The Old Forge during the last week of May. We found it to be spacious as there were only two of us, but with six adults staying it might feel less so. The garden/courtyard would benefit from some outdoor seating for days when it is too hot to sit in the conservatory. The wifi was good, there was plenty of hot water and towels and cutlery/crockery. The parking is a little tight - you are best to unload and then park over the road. The village is very nice and there is a little Londis shop plus a decent pub and a beautiful church. A few miles' drive is the farm shop. We would definitely recommend the Rock Pool Cafe and 2 Fore Street in Mousehole, (both of which we visited twice in one week),Portheras Cove near Pendeen lighthouse, all the beaches in St Ives (but get there early) as well as obvious favourites such as Porthcurno and Sennen.
All in all we had good time despite disappointing weather. Thank you Aspects Holidays
