About this property

Forge Cottage

Located in the quiet rural hamlet of Tredinnick is Forge Cottage, a 200 years old quirky and spacious cottage, full of character serving as an excellent base with which to explore the nearby coast and beaches. Padstow and Wadebridge, with their excellent restaurants and shops and the beautiful sandy beaches of the seven bays are just a short drive away. The cottage is also close to the main routes through Cornwall, meaning access to the rest of the county, such as the Eden Project, St Ives and Newquay, is quick and easy.



Arriving at Forge Cottage, the white walls against the sky blue windows really highlights this historic cottage in the little village. Being such an older property, it does have many characterful quirks, with exposed beams, large fire place with log-burner and low level small paned windows set in the substantial stone walls. With the fire lit, the living room is a cosy den in which to rest those legs on an evening, in addition to TV to aid in the relaxation.



The kitchen shares a space with the dining table and seating for 4, the kitchen fully equipped should you wish to cook up a feast. There are many cuisines should you wish to have delivered, but while you're here you'd do well to frequent the many restaurants and cafés in and around the surrounding areas!



When you're ready to rest your head, heading upstairs the master bedroom with SUPER KING Sized bed is inviting, while the other bedroom has two single beds. In addition to the bathroom with shower, bath and w/c, and additional w/c downstairs.



Outside, the gardens are enclosed for any of those wishing to bring their furry family, in addition to outdoor furniture should you wish to dine al fresco!

The Camel Estuary provides a range of water sports, as well as a variety of boat trips such as fishing excursions, speedboat rides and sea-life safaris. The coastal path and Camel trail offers walkers and cyclists magnificent views of cliffs and sea, all in all, making Forge Cottage a great base from wish to do a multitude of things in your visit to Cornwall.

Our stay in a lovely cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed the location, the lovely cottage and the peace and quiet and the local horses in the field behind!! . We have stayed at Forge Cottage 4 times before this trip and would love to stay again. It is ideally situated for trips along the North Cornwall coast especially to Padstow, Port Isaac, Rock and Polzeath. Knowing the area well it is ideally situated off the beaten track and yet within a 30 minure gentle stroll to the local pub. Hopefully would love to return in 2027 Having stayed many rimes before we have noticed that the accommodation booklet is out of date. Easy to follow DVD instructions would be appreciated....those provided are not easy to follow. The iron is in need of replacement ....the base is loose and possibly dangerous...

Good sized property

It was a good sized property with everything you could need, as we had a dog we liked the completely enclosed garden safe to let him out the door. The only thing missing was no wifi

Countryside But With Beaches

We loved the cottage from the very start. It was like in the pictures on the website. Felt glides under the chairs in the kitchen and maybe a new fryingpan.

Our Holiday

This is the third time we have stayed at Forge Cottage. The location for us was ideal, slightly off the beaten track but within walking distance of the pub in St Isley and only a short drive to either Padstow or Wadebridge. A very quiet and pleasant location ..with a parking space!! We hope to return again!!.....and again!! Pleasethe cottage instructions to reflect the current information ( i.e DVD instructions and refuse collection details etc

Comments on our stay

Very nice cottage in a central location for the northern beaches. Plenty of room (for two people). Good value for a May holiday. Very thick walls meant a cool cottage from the hot sun. Please consider the following two subjects: The saucepans with the worn out non-stick surfaces should be replaced. More importantly. Particularly for us older people. There was no hand hold or proper round bannister to grip at the top of the stairs.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 Jul, 2025
Hi Alan, Thank you so much for your lovely review and positive feedback. I'm glad you were able to explore the northern beaches and enjoy your time at the property. Thank you for your feedback regarding the banister. This is certainly something we will be discussing to see if we can help future guests. I hope we get the opportunity to host you again soon. Kind regards, Finest Retreats.

Great property but in need of some TLC

- Great location - so much to do in the area but located in a quiet and picturesque village - Good secure and spacious garden for dog and lots of space downstairs for dog to be comfortable inside - Thoughtful touches included eg sellotape, cling film etc. - Damp is a problem eg mould on inside of bathroom curtains - No WiFi was an issue as general connectivity in the area is poor - Too many signs in the property saying what you couldn’t do. Virtually every room had signs on the walls - not very welcoming. Let guests use their common sense! - I raised an issue on Day 1 that a range of bulbs needed replacing. These were not rectified during our stay.

Accommodation was not clean enough!

A character full properly in a peaceful location. Plenty of great day trips with in 30 mins drive from cottage. Definitely not clean enough! Lots of pet hair. Stained beds. We found the previous guests clothes in draws. Our 3 year old found loose sewing pins in a draw. The information folder was a tatty mess with contradictions. Poor kitchen equipment, rusty oven trays and chipped crockery. This property could be so much better. Cleanliness Kitchen equipment and organising the kitchen Information folder

Cozy, country-typical cottage with very good comfort but without Wi-Fi

The cottage is very authentic, historically old, but well renovated and modernized it has everything you need even a washing machine, dishwasher, etc. and the hot water system worked smoothly. We didn't heatlight the fire. It is very pretty and comfortably furnished and offers plenty of space our dog particularly liked the garden behind the house the property is surrounded by a wall so that you can leave the dog outside unattended. The location is rural and quiet you definitely need your own car. The beautiful coast and Padstow can be reached in 15-20 minutes by car. There was no WiFi and the internet connection in the tiny village was very poor. This is a serious negative point these days. It's just part of it now. The location is a bit "out of the way" and the nearest supermarket is a 15-minute drive away. The immediate area is heavily used for agriculture, including wind turbines 1 km away. Unfortunately, the somewhat isolated, rural location does not have the advantage that dog owners can find beautiful, idyllic walking paths right on their doorstep - unfortunately, there are none! Only asphalt roads without sidewalks and field paths closed off with gates that you can't walk on and that aren't particularly attractive either. So the location was disappointing for us we had imagined the nature there to be more pristine and accessible. When the tenant arrives, he is greeted by a thick folder with hundreds of instructions about what he can and must do and what he cannot do, where disasters are imminent and what to do in emergencies - this is certainly well-intentioned, but it is downright intimidating. Everything worked well, not everything straight away, but ultimately there wasn't too much to consider and adjust. A "streamlining" of this lavish "instruction file" would have a relaxing effect on the newcomer :-)

Super ontspannen!!

Een heerlijk rustig verblijf in dit prachtige rustieke huisje. Mooi gelegen in het prachtige landschap van Cornwall. Alles was vanuit deze locatie prima aan te rijden. Het enige minpunt is dat er nauwelijks internetverbinding is. Dus neem een goed boek mee.. Misschien een optie om wifi te realiseren.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
From the outside Forge Cottage looks quaint and attractive. Good location for visiting coastlines from Padstow to Newquay. Completing SW Coastal walk so this was essential to our choice. Sadly, the attractiveness of the cottage betrayed the condition inside. On entry we were met by a dirty entrance mat and stained radiator. The furniture was “well used” and consisted of mixture of charity shop funds and a first generation IKEA chair. The stair carpet was stained and worn and regrettably caught your eye as soon as entering the living space. My comment about this space-it was ruined by the tatty faded furnishings and the ridiculously long red curtains. A wonderful space calling out for a refurbishment and imagination. This cottage deserves a total makeover sympathetic to its age and purpose as a holiday home. However, the kitchen was the true horror. On opening the cutlery draw, I found three dirty unwashed tea spoons, several stained and rusting knives and forks. The toaster had a rusting top and the oven was greasy and dirty. When we switched it on, you could smell the residual fat burning inside. The plates were old and marked with innumerable scratches.Repeat upstairs although bed was clean except for one towel. Having booked four nights, we decided to leave the following morning after unsuccessfully trying to contact the agent. Took eight tries get someone to answer the phone and then had email telling us we should not have vacated the property without contacting them!
