Excellent stay!!

We had a fantastic weekend away with friends at this property. The property was exactly as described — spotlessly clean and met all our needs perfectly. Extra bonus points for the three king-size bedrooms and three bathrooms, which made it ideal for a group stay. The location was perfect, with great pubs, restaurants, and lovely dog walks all nearby.Amanda was an excellent host — communication was clear, and the check-in instructions were straightforward. Couldn’t have asked for more. We’ll definitely be staying here again!

Couples getaway

This was the perfect spot for some real R&R. Lovely cosy cottage, with additional accommodation on site if required; great walks and pubs close by, but if you're looking for a busy highstreet, this probably isn't the spot for you.

Brilliant stay at The Forge, Ockley

The house worked really well for us and the location was perfect for the wedding we attended over the first weekend of our stay. Also easy to get the Hampton Court Show as well. The house is well kitted out and all the appliances and fittings are top notch. Particualy enjoyed watching Wimbledon on the large tellies! Didn't have a chance to have a BBQ - maybe next time!

Luxury cottage in rural area. Top value for money!

We had a great time with 6 adults in this luxurious cottage. Fully equipped with everything you need. Top quality, clean and comfortable. Quiet with sunny terrace and garden. Private parking behind the house and friendly pub next door. Highly recommend ! Thanks Amanda for a wonderful time and we'd love to come again! Just 5 little comments for improvement: 1) unfortunately we received the wrong directions to the wrong flat and spent 30 minutes trying to find the keysafe and get into the house. Amanda husband kindly drove to find us and sorted everything immediately. 2) we had problems with the door locks. Probably our incompetence. 3) In the top bathroom there was no mirror above the washbasin. Amanda agreed to mount a shaving mirror. 4) The carpet in the lounge smelt a little from her dog's and needs to be cleaned. 5). There's only place in the utility room for hanging up coats.
