Osborne Forge Reviews

Lucy
We stayed at the Osborne Forge for a family holiday with 3 children and 6 adults. Prior to our arrival we received a welcome pack from the owner with all the info we needed and communication with them was great. The house itself is spacious and set in beautiful gardens, the pictures dont do it justice. A gorgeous welcome hamper with local produce gRead morereeted us and the house itself was well equipped, very clean and presented to a very high standard. The perfect place to get away and relax.

Maia
Beautiful and comfortable house. Every part of it is lovely, but the upstairs sitting room stands out for being really amazing, we had so many happy times there. Katrina responded promptly and helpfully when we texted her for advice or information. We had such a good holiday, wished we had booked the house for longer, and were so sad to leave.
Christine
Lovely house in beautiful gardens complete with resident red squirrel. A great spot for a multi generational holiday. Thank you
