We had a very pleasant stay in the Old Forge. The main room on the ground floor is cosy and charming, with everything you need for cooking. a very comfortable bedroom on the first floor with toilet and shower adjacent. Good quality bedding and towels. The staircase gives easy access to the upper floor. Parking was easy during our stay, right in front of The Old Forge. Marianne was very welcoming and attentive, so was her husband, Thank you for your kindness, we would love to return at some point, there is so much more to explore. We did go to Gainsborough House as recommended, it definitely worth a visit. Camille and Brian.

We enjoyed our stay at the Old Forge. It was cosy, well equipped and we enjoyed browsing the bookshelves. Boxford is a perfect Suffolk village with good local shops. It is a great location for exploring the Suffolk countryside and coast.

Cosy cottage in a beautiful village.

Marianne was a super host with excellent communication. The Old Forge was a lovely place to stay - wonderfully cosy, super shower, loads of books to read should you wish. Boxford is a pretty village too and was a great place to stay en route to Norfolk.

The Old Forge Studio - Boxford, Suffolk

We enjoyed our week staying in this cosy, well-appointed cottage which was attractive and comfortable. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. Boxford is a pretty village and very well placed for exploring Suffolk. We recommend the Box River Cafe for breakfast!

Bank Holiday weekend break

Such a cute, cosy and well equipped hideaway. Great location for exploring the area. Lovely bedroom with comfortable bed. Extensive collection of reading material to browse and enjoy. The little local store a few paces away had everything needed to stock up and the hotel/ pub The Fleece was perfect for a drink in the evening.

Beautiful place to stay in lovely quiet village

Property was well kept and in line with the description Clean tidy and lots of information to hand about the local area including recommended walks The lounge library with hundreds of books to choose from would be great for a longer stay Boxford is a lovely quaint and quiet Suffolk village with good local pub/hotel (Fleece Hotel) with good food when it’s being served, it doesn’t serve food everyday In easy driving distance of Lavenham and Flatford Mill as well as other local beauty spots We had a recommendation for breakfast to go to Old Joe’s from a couple we met in the pub and it turned out to be a great recommendation No contact required with owner but details left for us if we did Well worth a stay
