Very nice property, well presented and equipped including Hot Tub. Nice welcome package and great communication with hosts.

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.

Planned early Christmas family get together. Kitchen very well equipped, warm and cosy property with great view over the valley. Our sons two dogs enjoyed the change, with plenty of space outside which would also be good for children.

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 .

Excellent location to visit the forest if dean area. Perfect hosts, extra clean property, and so cosy. Views were absolutely amazing; the photos do not do this property justice. Steps are a little steep but taking our time we coped well. Cannot fault the hosts or property in any way.

Lovely Cottage
Woodland Barn is a lovely little cottage with stunning views over the river. It was clean and had everything we needed for a good holiday down to bowls and toys for the dogs.

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.

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.

We had a great time and so did our dog. Weather was good enough to have breakfast on the patio, in the sun, looking at the amazing view over the river Severn. Enjoyed lunch at the Saracen's Head, Symonds Yat, and a nice walk along the river. Well equipped, clean and good Covid precautions.
