Exceeded expectations. The photos cannot capture the true glory of the setting: an extended log cabin nestling in a large grassy area, surrounded by forest. We had beautiful weather, which helped, but even if the weather hadn't been so good I think we would still have had a great stay. Lots to do and see and in the local area: the Forest of Dean, Wye Valley, Coleford and Monmouth within easy reach. We also went swimming and had. a sauna at Keeper's Pond in the Brecon Beacons near Abergavenny - a 40 minute drive. The 6 and 3 year olds in the party had a wonderful time playing outside and exploring the forest, while the adults relaxed, ate outside, sat around the fire in the evening. Catherine, the host, is incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with. She came to visit on the first evening to check we were ok. The one upstairs bedroom is very warm in warm weather, but the occupants slept with the stable door half open. The cabin has an unbelievably well resourced kitchen; we even baked a cake! And tv's in every room, although we never really used them. We would definitely go back. It is the best family rental that we have experienced. If you like nature, quirkiness, getting away from it all, you'll like this.

A perfect weekend away with family in a stunning property with a lovely owner. Thank you Catherine!

Clean, spacious, well equipped. Easy interactions with owner, who was relaxed and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful weekend staying at Buckstone. The accomodation was clean, spacious and magical and catered for everything we needed to celebrate my Father's 70th birthday with 7 adults, 7 children and a dog. We were able to tick everything off the planned list including meals around the huge dining table, camp fires, a bbq, a game of rounders and a woodland walk. The surroundings are lovely and scenic. I would highly recommend staying at Buckstone. Thank you Catherine! ⭐️

Catherine was a great host- left us to it all weekend but was available on the phone etc. Cabin was great- facilities to cook for a large group of adults and comfortable beds for everyone, even adults in bunks.

Buckstone Log Cabin is situated in a stunning, rural spot. Catherine was very communicative and helpful with advice and local information. The cabin was spotless, spacious and has superb cooking facilities. It was a shame our stay was not a bit longer so that we could have fully appreciated the cabin and local area. Thank you, Catherine.

This was our second stay at this wonderful property. Catherine the owner is a lovely lady, very attentive and accommodating. The location in the middle of the woods was perfect for us, peaceful and secure for the children and dog to wander in the large paddock without us worrying. Super to have such a range of wildlife on our doorstep. The children loved spotting deer and badgers and the birdwatcher in the family had a wonderful time. The cabin is comfortable and had everything we needed to cater for all 14 of us. This is a really super place to stay and we hope to come back for a third visit.

Catherine was very helpful during booking and right through to our checkout, she is a lovely person relaxed and friendly and made our stay even more enjoyable. The cabin was perfect, safe for our children, comfortable, and well equipped including the ice machine and football table! We all loved the camp fire and large secure grass are to play in. Set right in the heart of the woods we really enjoyed exploring the woods and were delighted to see badgers. Thanks for a perfect short break. All 13 of us loved it.
