My stay a Newforge House was the highlight of my month long trip across the UK. The food was absolutely amazing. Three days of gourmet meals, all vegetarian per my request, were the best ever. The other guests were lovely and friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will be back when I next visit the area.

Beautiful stay. John, lou and staff treat guests like family. The wheaten, sourdough bread is soooooo good. All produce locally sourced eggs are from the families chickens. The breakfast is outstanding. Such a relaxing stay. Can't wait to return.
