The Old Forge is a new venture and the conversion has recently finished to allow us to have up to four people stay in this unique detached property. It is ideally suited to families and couples. It is not suitable for groups of four individuals due to the sleeping arrangements. As the name implies, the Forge was indeed just that and if you look through the photos you will see an image of two horses being shod there back in the 1900's. The building compromises of a mixture of Blue Lias Stone (a local stone to Somerset) and rendering. In keeping with the theme of metal work we have done our best to use a mixture of greys and stainless steel for the decor. The Forge has its own hot water system and heating plus a wonderful wood stove for those cold winter nights. There is a television and in the kitchen there is a combination microwave, induction hob and fridge freezer. With the vaulted ceilings the building is very spacious and is an ideal place to relax. It is cool in the hot Summer days but warm and cosy in the Winter. The Forge is situated on a quiet lane and surrounded by countryside. There are beautiful walks right from the front door.
I am a professional photographer that loves to do wildlife photography. I am married and have a daughter at university.
Compton Dundon is a beautiful Somerset village that has a great local pub and plenty of glorious countryside providing fabulous walking. It is very near the ancient town of Glastonbury and the City of Wells is not too far away either. If you like shopping then Clarks Village in Street is a must.
