Had a very pleasant short stay at the Old Forge. The room was great. The place is located on a peaceful side road with easy access to the town centre. Host and staff were very attentive and helpful.

We had spent a few days at The Old Forge, we had a cottage in the garden near the orchard, a delightful room and very quiet. Julie and her hubby were delightful hosts and charming to chat to in the evening in the garden. The breakfast was super and a vast choice. Easy walk into town over the river bridge .

An oasis of calm and tranquility close to the centre of bustling Totnes.Recommended by a local friend, Julie and the Old Forge lived up to their billing.We had a delightful authentic Devon cream tea served in the garden.Sat in sun in the orchard amongst heritage apple trees already laden with ripe fruit, was a gorgeous experience.Fresh cut flowers on the table and really beautiful antique tea pots, crockery and cutlery complimented the warm fresh currant scones .Lovely place and nice vibe from the attentive Julie.Thanks so much. We will be back!

This is an absolute gem of a place. Cottage feel.It's more of a hotel than a B&B but almost a mix of the two and it really works.There are different rooms to suit your needs, all very neat and clean.The Cottage Suite is a great little ground floor space with a bit of a lounge diner, bathroom & two bedrooms. If you had one or two kids or are a couple of friends it's very well suited, like having a mini apartment.Gorgeous garden out the back of the hotel, it's really tranquil while being right near the centre of town.Great tasty breakfast done really attentively.The hosts and staff are extremely helpful, friendly & flexible and do everything to make you comfortable with a warm welcome too.I've stayed here a few times over the years & it's always been ideal.

We loved the Old Forge! Sure there are some aspects that could make a difference (which is why I can?t give it 5 stars), the beds are not well sized (but to be honest we are used to an Australian ?king?) and because the room was advertised as a king size double bedded room i interpreted this incorrectly. The other aspect of disappointment was the wifi, it was slow an unreliable a lot of the time. Having said that, everything else about this place is wonderful, when we said we were not happy with the garden room, Julie went out of her way to help us, she found an alternative room (the cottage) that was fortunately available. The bed was still smaller than what we?d like but it was a much more comfortable space for our week long stay. Julie is a super host and a super woman, she is always extremely helpful, friendly and obliging. Breakfast is a treat. Thank you so much for everything Julie!

This bed and breakfast was perfection. Julie, the owner, could not have been friendlier or more welcoming. The rooms were sparking clean and there were lovely additions like fresh flowers in a tiny vase by the windowsill and nice binder chock full of useful information about Totnes. The breakfast was hearty and delicious every single morning. The garden out back is tranquil and well maintained. To top it off the location is excellent. Just a few minutes walking distance from the bridge and many other fabulous local restaurants and cafes. Highly recommend!

Last minute booking which was perfectly handled by the team. Lovely place and great management. Would come back for sure, even for the breakfast alone. Thanks!

Arrived in Devon to find out we couldn?t pick up the keys to our rental cottage so needed to find emergency accommodation. Managed to get a last minute booking at the Forge, a quaint and lovely Hotel. The rooms were well appointed, spotless and full of charm. Julie and Mike couldn?t have been anymore welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast selection and quality was superb. We would book here again without hesitation.Rooms: Well appointed rooms with lovely furnishings and a great mattressWalkability: Easy walking distance to town, discount arrangement at some lovely eateriesFood & drinks: A great breakfast selection, cooked and presented with care, very delicious.Noteworthy details: Parking on Site, charming building and rooms, very quiet street.
