“Probably the best holiday home we’ve stayed in!”

Fantastic location, lovely garden and hot tub. Masses of parking and the house had literally everything you will need. Everything was there from tea bags, sugar, coffee, dishwasher tablets, toilet rolls, bin liners etc etc. Lovely surprise left for us in the fridge, a full fry up package including sausages, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, white pudding and eggs. Furniture and beds very comfortable and bathrooms and showers etc were lovely. Very clean inside and out. ...

Furniture and beds very comfortable and bathrooms and showers etc were lovely. Very clean inside and out. Location is perfect. We walked from the house to Lands End along the coastal path which was spectacular (about 6 miles). Minack theatre is a must see and is just 15 mins away. For golf enthusiasts, Mullion golf course down by the Lizard is superb. There is so much to do in the area. We would highly recommend this holiday home, it was a fabulous relaxing week and we’ll definitely be back. Well done to the owners who have obviously spent lots of time and love in creating this lovely home

“Probably our best cottage choice ever.”

Really well appointed and presented accommodation. Mobile reception is not great - but there's not a lot that the owners can do about that (rural Cornwall and in a valley). Some great short walks to the coast and St Just from the cottage gate (short distance on the road to reach the footpaths). A very welcoming base to explore a new (to us) part of the UK.

Sarah April 2022

“The Old Forge is the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed at.”

It was immaculately clean, really comfortable, had everything you needed. It is spacious, well maintained and feels luxurious. Ideally located to visit many attractions yet set in a quiet rural location. The welcome pack was unexpected and delicious. The hot tub was an additional bonus. The electric charging points for the car made our holiday hassle free. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you !

“We’re not ones to complain (you can’t give anything less than a 1 star review) but its only fair anyone booking should be aware.”

The pictures of the property make it appear isolated, and the ‘isolated’ search filter guides you to it. The main road of the village is running straight past, and there is very little privacy. You can’t see it in the pictures but there is a secondary property within 5 foot, its purposely cropped out of the images. Occupiers of that property are constantly walking past the dining room windows looking straight in to and from the shared driveway. There’s also 4/5 properties over road that have a clear view around the property. This is more of a gold fish bowl than a retreat. We complained and were brushed under the carpet multiple times and were refused any kind of refund, even though we didn’t stay in the property, after paying £1000 for 3 nights!!

- Bethan, November 2021

I'm sorry that you felt that you were mislead by the advert on the website. Having thoroughly checked the information listed about our property there is no mention of the property being isolated or secluded and feel that if this was a priority a simple google map search may have been a benefit. Although the properties are close together they do not overlook each other. The complaint was noted and investigated by both the owners and the letting agents, both parties concluded that the property was as described and met all standards expected. The property was used overnight and before the property is let for guests it is fully cleaned and ready for occupation, although the property was only occupied for one night this did mean it required another full clean and linen change. The welcome pack that was provided was not able to be reused for the next guests due to perishable goods included (bread, sausages etc). We have successfully rented this property for 5 years and this is the only complaint of this type received. Property Owner

“The price and photos didn’t reflect the property.”

Overlooked and noisy 60mph road next to the property, another property is also directly behind the cottage. We stayed for two weeks and the gardener, cleaner and owner used the property we’d paid £2500 for as a throughway for the Saturday changeover of the adjoining property. Leaving gates open for our dog to get out while they walked their own dog round our ‘private’ property. Not impressed at all.

- Amy, November 2021

I am extremely sorry that you felt that your privacy was invaded, I did knock on the door and received no answer, as there was no sign of anyone I assumed that you had gone out for the day. We went about business tidying, mowing the lawn and attending to the hot tub so that things were still in tip top condition and indeed would have used the side gate to enter next door but I honestly had no idea that anyone was in. This comment has taught me a huge lesson that I will not repeat and assume that guests are out. Also I am sorry that you felt that the photos didn't represent the property and although the properties are close together they do not overlook each other and are available to rent together should a large party wish to book them. There is a road next to the property but it is a B road with a maximum limit of 40mph and there is a large parking area and orchard that are between the property and the road so you do not step out straight on to it.

“We had a lovely stay at The Old Forge!”

I would definitely recommend this lovely property to friends and family. The house was in a good location, spotlessly clean, decorated to a high standard and really well equipped, everything was thought of. The hot tub was great and the breakfast welcome pack was very gratefully received. The only disappointing feature was the double bed that was zipped from 2 singe les as it was quite uncomfortable where the zip was down the middle. We couldn't fault anything else, we had a really lovely time!

“Truly exceptional place.”

Should be on a postcard. You want for nothing. It cannot be faulted, just wow. From the moment we arrived until we left we never stopped smiling. No expense has been spared by the owner. I spoke with the the owner Nikki, nice down to earth person. Cannot wait to return! It will be hard to beat this place! Wow again. Thanks Sykes and Nikki.

“The Old Forge cottage was excellent clean and wonderful cottage.”

They left a lovely pack of bacon, sausage, eggs, tomato's and more for breakfast which was a nice treat and very tasty. The rooms were spacious and shower and bath great. It's In a lovely location. I would 100% recommend it and will defiantly stay their again.

Andrew August 2020

“We really enjoyed our stay.”

A very well equipped and decorated cottage. Very comfortable in all respects. Excellent kitchen and equipment for those looking to cook in. The children loved the hot tub in the garden. The cottage is very well located for exploring the coastal paths and the old tin mines around St Just, and we found some wonderful sandy beaches - Porthchapel and Gwynver are the best, we think, but Sennen Cove is great too if you are looking for something more accessible. St Just has a good range of local shops - a small Co Op, a good good butcher and green grocer, and a terrific Moomaid ice cream parlour in the main square - or there is a huge Sainbury's off the A30 in Penzance. Nikki, the owner, dropped round a couple of times and was friendly and helpful. Definitely a five star cottage and location for anyone looking to explore the far west of Cornwall.

Wayne October 2019

“Cottage lovely but missed some finishing touches.”

No hand soap or washing up equipment. Maintenance needed in second bedroom’s en-suite, paint peeling and damp smell. Bbq locked away. Cottage needs downstairs wc or shower room for convenience when using hot tub. Not quite as luxurious as expected.

- Wayne, October 2019
Terence October 2019

“It was a home from home experience with the added luxury of the hot tub which was so enjoyable after long walk on Sennen beach with the dogs - just perfect.”

“We had an amazing holiday at The Old Forge it was a pleasure to stay there, in fact we did not want to come home.”

The property is beautifully dressed Nikki the owner has tried to be mindful of people’s needs. The kitchen is extremely well equipped we even had complimentary breakfast supplies which were locally sourced. The lounge had a log burner which my husband loved there was plenty of wood supplied. The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect as well we felt spoilt for the whole of our stay. The hot tub was fantastic we were really excited to have this. Nikki visited us several times to make sure the hot tub was running correctly. There was plenty of parking and a fully enclosed garden which was ideal for our dog and children. We were about 5 minutes drive to the down of St Just where you will find a couple of shops and pubs. Overall a fabulous holiday the property was to a very luxurious standard would definitely recommend and return for a future holiday.

- Lynne, May 2019
Zoe May 2019

“The owners and staff were absolutely lovely - nothing was too much trouble.”

Nikki and Neil went all out to ensure we all had a beautiful holoday in their fantastic holiday home which was so authentic bringing the old forge blacksmiths cottage back to life with the luxury and comfort of modern day luxury living. Complimentary breakfast on our first arrival was also so thoughtful and the luxurious robes for the hot tub came in so useful. Would definately recommend and the area was full of beautiful things to see and do and lovely local people too. Would definately stay again.

Saganaa March 2019

“The cottage was lovely.”

We all enjoyed our stay and how convenient it was to different locations we wanted to visit and explore. I really enjoyed the silence down there and weather was great. I took my cats and they loved the placed as well! Thank you nikki for coming down to see us and giving us a welcome pack food. Wished I would have stay longer but had to get back. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to get away from a busy hectic life or just a holiday too!

Brian December 2018

“Cottage exceeded our expectations.”

It's beautiful and finished to a very high standard. Nikki left us a welcome pack of local produce which we put to good use for breakfast! Facilities are excellent and the whole place is very comfortable. Communication with Nikki was great and when she came round to check the hot tub, she gave us good local knowledge on getting to St Just. Location is ideal and we walked to Lands End. Takes about 2 hours to get there and easy to find the coastal path. Hot tub very welcome when we got back.

James August 2018

“The Old Forge is a great base for the best beaches and walks in Cornwall.”

The house was well equipped and clean. There is ample space for 6 people and a dog, the hot tub is fab and a great place to relax after a day walking or surfing. St Just is a 20 min walk away where there are great local shops and pubs, another 20 mins will get you to Cape Cornwall which is a beautiful spot for a picnic. A brilliant place to stay with great touches such as Netflix and WiFi. Nikki is a great host checking the hot tub and providing local information. The welcome food such as bacon and sausages from the local butcher wasa bonus.

- James, August 2018
Andrew August 2018

“This was a fantastic cottage.”

The whole family loved it. The attention to detail was well appreciated from welcome pack of local foods to the solar sheep in the garden! I had booked it last minute and guess I got a cancellation slot as not much else was available. I had never stayed In the far west of Cornwall but this turned out to be a real bonus as the area is not over crowded but full of things to do.

Jasmine June 2018

“Best property we have stayed in over 40 years of travelling Loved everything about it.”

Welcome pack was so unexpected and even a welcome for our pet dog. Brilliant location and owners had thought of everything we drove 8 hours to get there but it was worth every mile thank you for making our holiday even more special by being able to stay in 5* luxury

- Jasmine, June 2018
Donna May 2018

“We had such a wonderful time staying at the old forge.”

Such a fantastic cottage that was decorated beautifully. TVs were in every room and the kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The children loved the freedom that the large lawn garden gave and it was great to have a BBQ out there. The surroundings, together with the cosiness of the house made it feel like a lovely relaxing holiday. The owners were lovely and friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. They treated us with all you could want to make a kings breakfast. Garden is a suntrap and there are 4 pubs less than a mile away. Pre order the taxi though if you don’t want to walk as the guy was quite busy. Would highly recommend.

“Just returned from a week at the Old Forge and can not fault this gorgeous cottage.”

A brand new conversion of a very old building which has been done in sympathy with the old building but with all mod cons and is sheer luxury. 3 beautifully appointed bedrooms, 2 with en suites and a large family bathroom with a huge corner bath and shower. There are plenty of towels and bath robes for all and even a basket in the bathroom full of hotel quality shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, soap and face cloths. Even the fridge was stocked with local sausages, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms and milk, and a fresh loaf of bread and local butter. Full tins of tea bags and instant coffee, but bring your own choice of ground coffee for the espresso machine. Oh and there was also all the wood we needed for the wood burner, washing liquid & conditioner, dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid. Even treats in the dog bowl for your furry friend! Then outside there’s garden furniture, a gas BBQ and patio heater. The best holiday cottage I’ve ever stayed in by far in a perfect location just outside Land’s end. We will definitely be back.

A stylish barn conversion (The Hayloft. ref.967546) and cottage (The Old Forge. ref 962656), located one mile from the popular town of St Just, Cornwall. Both off super countryside views, spacious accommodation featuring wonderful sitting areas with woodburning stoves, and flexible sleeping arrangements, Tin Coast Cottages are the perfect base for a family or group of friends.

Situated on the edge of the moors and close to the North coast, guests have plenty to explore. 8 miles away is the historic port of Penzance, with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must as is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Scilly Isles. Two well appointed properties which provide an unforgettable retreat for your Cornish holiday.

The property

With a private hot tub in the garden and far reaching views toward the north coast, The Old Forge has been transformed from a crumbling ruin into a stylish retreat with a boutique hotel standard interior.

Wake up to sea views across the stunning world heritage coastline a mile away, or head out on foot to explore scenery which has inspired generations of artists and writers.

The Old Forge is under a mile from St Just, the most westerly town in England.

Here you will find good pubs, cafes and delicatessens as well as several art galleries, including Kurt Jackson's Jackson Foundation.

Fine dining pubs and restaurants are popping up all over West Cornwall so head to The Beach Restaurant at Sennen Cove or The Old Coastguard Hotel in Mousehole for a culinary treat.

There are sandy beaches at Sennen Cove and its quieter neighbour Gwynver or head on around past Land's End to Porthcurno for even more dreamy turquoise waters and white sands.

St Ives and Penzance are also within easy driving distance offering shopping, cafes, restaurants and galleries galore.

This property can be booked with Ref: 967546 The Hayloft which together can sleep 10. The Old Forge has a traditional layout with ground floor comprising a super spacious sitting room with wood burning stove, a fabulous dining room and a kitchen fit for a king with central island for more informal meals.

The house offers flexible sleeping arrangements on the first floor.

There are two master bedrooms with king size beds and en-suite shower rooms.

(you will have to fight for the one with a sea view though).

For families the second bedroom can be presented as a twin if requested.

The third bedroom is smaller but still suitable for adults or children.

If you haven't had enough of the water outside in the hot tub, the bathroom has a huge corner bath too and separate shower!
