This is the first time we have stayed at Forge House, the location is ideal for getting around either to the beaches, the NYMR train to Whitby or walking.The house it’s self is perfect and every small detail paid attention to, it is comfy there is adequate space, and a very helpful book informing users of everything you could need both in the house and surrounding area. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wishing to stay in Thornton le Dale, we are returning next year we enjoyed it so much.
