About this property
The Old Forge is a charming three-bedroom bungalow perched in the tranquil, rural village of Trerulefoot in Cornwall. Ideal for families, friends, or sharing couples seeking to explore the wonders of the nearby Dartmoor National Park. This delightful ground-floor dwelling offers a homely, inviting interior, a private enclosed garden, along with a superb location walking distance from the nearest shop and pub. Step into your wonderful new home away from home, where you will find a collection of well-appointed living areas. A fully-equipped kitchen/diner serves as a great spot wherein to prepare and tuck into delicious home-cooked meals after a long day chock-full of exploring. A utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer is also available for your convenience. In the evenings, be sure to kick back and unwind in the sitting room with a good book, or simply catch up on your favourite shows on the Freeview TV. As the day draws to a close, take your pick of three tastefully-presented ground-floor bedrooms; a king-size with accompanying en-suite shower, a twin, or a family room with a king-size and a small single. Start each day with a rejuvenating shower or a dip in the bath before you venture out to explore your local area. A short stroll will take you into Trerulefoot, home to The Windy Ridge restaurant and the Little Waitrose at Shell Caradon, where you can stock up on homely essentials throughout your visit. Jump in the car and make your way to nearby Tideford to discover an array of independent shops and must-visit restaurants and pubs such as the Rod & Line or Heskyn Mill. A little further along lies Landrake, the perfect spot for exploring walking trails on your way to the nearby Dartmoor National Park, home to Wistman's Wood and the Canonteign Falls.

Homely and bright, extremely clean and comfortable, plenty of room. Spacious bedrooms. The wet room with walk-in shower was ideal for my Grandad who stayed with us. There was a vase of fresh flowers in the hallway when we arrived; a lovely touch. We were very impressed with the equipment provided, everything you could need for an excellent stay. Our kids enjoyed the large garden and itâs so peaceful and quiet with beautiful countryside views. In the evening we saw deer in the field by the garden. We had a couple of BBQâs with absolutely delicious meat from the butchers Paul Bray & Son which is just a 5 minute drive. Trerulefoot is a great base for exploring the area, Looe is a short drive away. We visited beautiful beaches in Looe, Talland Bay (amazing rock pools) and Polkerris. The best family day out we had was at Pennywell Farm. It was so much fun, not to be missed! Make sure you get there for opening as the activities start at 9:30am. We enjoyed our holiday so much, we couldn't have wished for anything better! I would definitely recommend The Old Forge to anyone and we hope to come back! Thank you.
