We had a wonderful time at the forge. Jamie and Sheena are warm, friendly, down to earth hosts. They went above and beyond to cater for us, providing delicious and plentiful home cooked food that accommodated for the dietary requirements of each member of our group including providing gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. Beautiful location. The activities were fun and engaging, the instructors all seemed like genuinely lovely people. They gave clear instructions and were patient with the kids who really enjoyed all of the activities. Highly recommended.

Sheena and Hattie have created the perfect weekend retreat for anyone looking for a reset. From the second we arrived we belonged, and so the usual "adjustment period" needed on any other break, was instantaneous. …

We visited the Forge for the Back to Nature Summer Camp. It was a fantastic retreat from start to finish. The activities were engaging and inclusive of all ages and there was plenty of choice.The accommodation was fantastic, comfy bell tents with kitchen and the hammock was a hit with all the family.Sheena and Jaime were fantastic hosts and the whole team were incredibly knowledgeable about their workshops.Amazing food provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner and allergies were catered for.The wild swim pond and wood fired sauna for adults only was a lovely treat in the evening.I cannot recommend this retreat enough for a fantastic family trip.

Sheena has created a little piece of heaven at The Forge. Myself and 7 friends enjoyed exclusive use of the campsite, pond and sauna and it was wonderful. Sheena and Hattie curated a fabulous itinerary of open water swimming for us. We always felt in very safe hands and the swimming was great.

I have just returned from a swimming retreat at the Forge, it was amazing …On arrival I was greeted by Sheena who instantly gave me a hug and made me feel so welcome, I was shown my huge tent which completely exceeded my expectations it was so comfy. Everything has been carefully thought of, the attention to detail is incredible and shows the passion and ethos of the place. Simply put, The Forge is perfect with breathtaking views.Sheen and Hattie were the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble and their ability to make you feel at ease was so natural. We visited some lovely spots for wild swimming and were educated on water quality and what to look for. At the end of each swim there was always hot drinks and homemade cake! On returning to The Forge the Sauna was fired up ready to warm us up.The food was delicious freshly prepared and soured from Sheena’s garden or local suppliers and was always plentiful. We were like a big family eating together and chatting about our day’s activities.Watching the sun set and hearing stories from a local storyteller round a fire was magical and the icing on the cake was seeing the Barn Owl.I arrived at The Forge solo but have come home with friends and lots of happy memories, I really could have stayed a lot longer it is the perfect place to re-set. I will be going back for sure!

They promised personal challenge. They delivered- I swam in places I had never seen before and swam some front crawl rather than just sticking to breast stroke. Plus picked up tips on how to improve. They promised outdoor exhilaration. …

just finished a family retreat and couldn't have had more fun or be better looked after. sheena and Jamie are fantastic hosts, superbly supported by Phil and Ads, and so much going on site we didn't leave for the 4 days. kids loved the scything, bushcraft and beekeeping but above all the sense of enjoying the outdoors - running up and down the hill. thank you both for a fabulous start to the summer.
