We stayed in Forge place for 2 nights in May 2012. The welcome was warm and personal with a lovely homemade chocolate cake and tea on arrival. The rooms are set apart from the main house with it's own entrance, meaning you can come and go as you please. It also means if you want to relax in your room... More

A warm welcome at this charming comfortable accommodation overlooking the garden. After our journey we were welcomed with a large pot of tea, coffee and yummy chocolate cake. If you are a lover of good food this is the place to be. Extensive breakfast of high quality with the extra touch of home-made muffins etc. Lovely place to sit out... More

We stayed for 3 nights in the 'Stour' room which was very good - large clean room with seperate kitchenette with Krups coffee machine, large LCD TV and a good heater (it was very cold outside). Forge Place is ideally situated for exploring the New Forrest and Dorset/Hampshire coast. The breakfasts were very good using quality products and very nicely... More

I know it's a huge statement, but truly I feel this is one of the best bnb's I have ever stayed in, it is an excellent choice if you want modern, private, romantic, warm, luxury accomodation in the new forest area. Great location with an idyllic setting, close to nice pubs. Stayed the Avon which had its own wood burner,... More

A lovely two night stay at this fantastic place. The property is more of a self contained apartment. A lot of fine detail has gone into making this a very very comfortable stay, from every toiletry to a fantastic coffee machine. Even though we arrived late, we had a warm welcome from Caroline who showed us to our room the... More

We spent two nights at The Forge Place and we would highly recommend it. The room was lovely and exactly like the pictures-which is not always so! We had a brilliant breakfast and the "extras" that we're set out we're delicious! Great to have our own entrance as well, meant we could come and go without bothering anyone!

We have just returned from a three night break, having stayed in the Avon room. We had a beautiful stay, everything was absolutely spot on. The personal touch is one that cannot be replaced by the big hotels. The room was immaculate, with little touches like a krups coffee machine in the kitchenette, a piece of homemade cake each day...

Despite the changable and damp weather, we had a delightful time at Forge Place. Caroline is a fabulous host and wonderful cook - her afternoon cakes and morning muffins are very special. Rooms are pretty and spotless, and, being separate from the house, are nice and private. Location is great for exploring and the Lamb Inn, practically at the bottom... More
