The Old Forge is an attractive and cosy cottage, dating back to the 14th Century, when it was the village blacksmith. It has been sympathetically restored and decorated to retain some of the original features whilst offering modern comfort and convenience. The kitchen is recently installed with gas oven, hob and grill, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer.
There is a small terraced area by the front door. The cottage nestles in the heart of Bishops Tawton, a small village three miles outside of Barnstaple, along the River Taw. The Old Forge is just 5 minutes from the A361 linking North Devon to the M5. A great place to stay to explore Exmoor, a walker's paradise.

Services
Bishops Tawton was once the home of Bishops and the picturesque village church bears testament to many generations of Devonians who made their home in this tranquil corner of the Taw Valley. There are walks by the river Taw or great cycling along the Tarka Trail (accessed from Barnstaple Station, approximately 2 miles from The Old Forge).
