Couldn't fault the property at all. New experience for us after the passing of my wife and family Christmas's for over 30 years. The owners have really put a lot of effort into making the property a really lovely experience. Their attention to detail with added extras for guests and their dogs was exceptional. Even a Christmas tree was provided. The location was great and the views from the rear of the property were unspoilt and something I will remember personally. I've enjoyed showing other family members the lovely pictures taken. Would definitely consider going again in the future.

Lovely stay
Excellent communication with hosts prior to stay . Property was cosy on arrival and hot tub heated and ready to use . Short drive to many amenities and lovely areas to walk the dogs ! Property on two levels with stairs so may have been a problem for very small dogs , and small gap under patio railings , but with two daft , escapist dachsunds they were fine . Lovely to have a secure garden for the dogs , both grass area and patio . House was impeccable clean and everything had been thought of for a stress free stay with dogs or children ie stair gates / dogs bowls etc . Quiet area with a lovely view from the garden . Would highly recommend .

The cottage had many positives , fantastic location in the Forest of Dean. Wonderful views and a great outdoor area including patio and fenced in lawned area for the dog. A great welcome pack including some delicious fudge and apple and raspberry juice. Off road parking. Entry to property easy via the key safe. The property was smaller than the photographs suggested and the double bed was far too soft but that may be to others preferance.

Clean and well equipped. Very dog friendly with outstanding views of the River Severn.
Beautiful location. We only stayed for a few days but managed to visit the Forest of Dean and took a trip into Wales. We stumbled across a pub right next to the River Severn called the White Hart that serves tasty food and the staff were all extremely friendly. We all feel relaxed and refreshed including the dogs. We would highly recommend this property. Thank you Zoe and James.
