Beautiful location

Very enjoyable long weekend with the family. Spacious property inside and out, shaded seating, a decked dining area and areas for the children to play meant they were happy. We had a few minor issues but Andrew & Helen were prompt with their replies. We would definitely recommend.

Family Break

We stayed here for a few days with our children (6 and 3) and parents. The house is in a great location for exploring the Forest of Dean and everything that it has to offer. Both the inside and outside space offered something for everyone, and we'd certainly stay again!

Family weekend

Very spacious and comfortable. Had everything required for a weekend away. Lovely views from the property. Sadly it rained for our stay, but there is easy access to the forest from the house. Kitchen very well equipped including washing machine and dishwasher, a microwave would be a welcome addition. Plenty of space for 6 adults and 2 children.
