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.

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 .

Woodland Barn
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.

Clean and well equipped. Very dog friendly with outstanding views of the River Severn.
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.

A lovely comfortable cottage with views to die for.
We had such a lovely stay at Woodland Barn Cottage. The views are stunning and changing all the time as the mist rolls in, or dissipates to reveal layers of green fields and the river Severn snaking between the hills. The cottage is comfortable and conveniently located with amenities nearby, and plenty of beautiful walks a short car ride away. Walks at Tintern (The Devil's Pulpit), Symonds Yat Rock (the Wye River below) and the Sculpture Trail (at Beechenhurst) were amazing. Highly recommended.

Lovely, cosy and comftable property with amazing views!
We stayed at Woodland Barn over the Christmas period with our little dogs. The property was immaculately clean, cosy and spacious with everything we needed for our stay. The views from the terrace were amazing!
There was plenty of places in the area to walk the dogs.
On arrival we had a bottle of champagne, chocolates, fresh coffee and fresh flowers and as we were staying over the Christmas period we even had a little Christmas tree put up which was a lovely touch!
The bed was comftable and shower was great.
A lovely place to stay, highly recommended and we will certainly be back.
