We had a lovely stay in The Old Tump House. The cottage was beautiful, well equipped and in a lovely location, convenient for trips to Symonds Yat, Tintern Abbey, Monmouth, Ross, etc.
Faye was really helpful and very responsive both before and during our stay. We would certainly book again if visiting the area in future.

Lovely stone cottage just a few yards from the Forest of Dean with all the facilities you would expect of a family home. Welcoming owners and very comfortable. The only disappointment was that we didn't spot any of the wild boar.

Lovely bolt hole in the Forest of Dean
Stylish and comfy cottage on the edge of the forest. Bedrooms extremely spacious and comfortable all with beautiful bathrooms. Great location to explore and the hosts were very available and welcoming. Fresh flowers and a starter basket of basics was much appreciated.

Simply perfect!
If you’re looking for somewhere to get back to nature, or be adventurous- but still want all the home comforts, then this is it. Beautiful well equipped cottage, lovely welcoming hosts and the Forest is right on your doorstep - and very comfy beds to fall into at the end of each busy day. Our first visit to this area and we have loved what it has to offer. Forest and river walks, Go Ape, Canoeing and Puzzlewood, a week is just not long enough! We’ll be coming back for more I’m sure

Fab forest get away
Had a lovely week in this cottage.
Fab location, easy to get to other places in the Forest and walks on your doorstep too. Quiet setting and beautiful surroundings and Fay the owner was very helpful. Lovely bedrooms and bathrooms. Only negative for us was we struggled to all sit comfortably on the one sofa.

Fresh Air and Home Comforts
The cottage is in a beautiful location backing onto a small apple orchard and overlooking the Forest. It's easily accessible from the road and well signed. The interior is beautifully laid out, spacious and inviting. The outside area is perfect for a bbq or breakfast to enjoy the fresh air and views. Fay was a very friendly and accommodating host and answered all questions really promptly and thoroughly. A fantastic break.

Absolutely Perfect
There isn't much more to say except that everything about this property was exceptional. We didn't want to leave! Fay was incredibly helpful, taking the time to welcome us and to give us a good rundown on the area. The cottage was very clean, and we had no problems with check-in or check-out. One of the best places we've ever stayed.

Blakeney Stay
We enjoyed our time in Blakeney. The cottage was clean and tidy and was equipped for 6. The bedrooms were spacious and the bright and airy. We did find the sofa seating area limited, it only sat 3 or 4 and was not particularly comfortable. Despite that, it was a good place to stay and recommend it.

Lovely short break
Attractive, quiet cottage in beautiful countryside. Very comfortable and clean with modern bathrooms but still full of character.
It would have helped to have had a postcode and detailed instructions on how to find the cottage, but apart from that it was excellent.

lovely stay at the cottage
We had a wonderful weekend with 6 friends. The rooms were very clean and we were very pleased that every bedroom had their own bathroom. The setting was great, in the middle of the Forest of Dean. We would recommend it to everyone!

Lovely cottage, perfect for exploring the Forest of Dean and surrounding area
We had a great few days staying in this pretty cottage with a friendly welcome from Fay and her family. The cottage had everything we needed and was well laid out so we felt we had plenty of space when rain forced us to retreat indoors. All the rooms are nicely decorated, beds are comfortable, the three en suite bathrooms (luxury, with three daughters to accommodate) are great and everything is very clean. With just a few minutes walk we were on footpaths in the Forest of Dean itself. Definitely recommended

A brilliant base to explore the Forest of Dean. We were three adults with three little girls and we all felt very comfortable in this cottage and felt very welcome by Fay and her family. We would highly recommend this cottage to stay.

Beautiful spot surrounded by apple blossom
The cottage occupies a surprising spot and offers a lovely retreat especially in spring when the meadow around it is full of blossom. A well equipped kitchen and extremely comfortable beds were particularly welcome. The cottage is decorated in a stylish and very tasteful way which we loved.
Local walks were delightful particularly along the Wye valley.
We confidently recommend this place.

beautiful cottage in a great location
This is a lovely cottage, spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. The basket of milk bread and other goodies on arrival was very welcome. The owner greeted us on arrival, and helped settle us in and answered any questions. The property is in a great position for exploring the area. I have no hesitation in recommending this property, as we had a most enjoyable stay here.

Lovely home in a beautiful setting
Had a great week in the Forest of Dean. The old tump house is located on the edge of the forest with a beautiful backdrop of trees. It is really well presented with 3 large bedrooms all en suite and a kitchen, dining and living room all combined. All the attractions are no more than 30 minutes drive from the house. The village where the house is located is small but Lydney is 10 minutes drive away and has all the amenities needed. Thanks to Faye and family for your kind hospitality.
