A fantastic space for a family gathering. Every bedroom is very comfortable with good en suite facilities. The communal areas are so spacious with interesting ornaments and homely touches. Great outside space which is enclosed so ideal for a dog. Steve next door is really helpful and always on hand. We had a fab Christmas break in the house.

The property was decorated and equipped to a high standard, and neighbour, Steve, is very helpful. It was a great location for visiting attractions in the Forest of Dean, with a pub 2 doors away and a station for the steam railway a couple of minutes walk.

Everything about the property was of the highest quality: very well equipped and furnished. It is conveniently located near a pub and a take away. All communication during the booking and check-in process was handled efficiently and there was a neighbour on hand for our arrival. Even the welcome basket was the best weve ever had.
