The property was cosy and squeaky clean. It was very well equipped and matched the description and photos. There were so many little extras that added comfort, for example extra pillows (but different from the ones already on the bed, to give people with sensitive necks like me an alternative 🤪); wireless phone charger; additional heaters; Bluetooth speaker; smart TV and streaming platforms with a dedicated account - in case you don’t have your own Netflix password handy… You can tell the hosts are very thoughtful given the attention they put in this place. They also left some mince pies for us given the season, and they put up a tiny Christmas tree too, so the place felt Christmassy without being overwhelmingly so. They provided clear instructions and were responsive. At the entrance of the property, there’s also a little section with some themed handcraft, some drinks and some honey that you can purchase. The property is located in a quiet, small village and is perfect to take walks in the nature around. We had a lovely time there and we highly recommend it!

Everything! It was beautiful 😀

Nothing!!!!!

The property was in a excellent location. and everything you need was there. It was outstanding I will definitely be back. The owner left a carrot cake for us which we really enjoyed..Thank you for letting us stay it was amazing .

I liked everything

Clean and warm. Good selection of utensils and the cake was lush. Thank you

The mud on the verge although that’s not in your control

Self-contained, spacious (travelling solo), and peaceful. Alice had thoughtfully prepared mini mince pies that were in the kitchen when I arrived (just days after Christmas) as well as some milk, butter and hot drinks capsules. Oh, and an honesty box/mini bar outside in the porch. Convenient and nicely designed facilities and a very comfortable bed. I was there for a mix of work and leisure, and needed space and silence to focus. With the forest on the doorstep, a few good pubs in walking distance, and a supermarket a short drive away, this was perfect.

Alice, let me know that there had been gasworks outside for a while. Unfortunately, this left a very muddy place to park on the weekend I was there. Not the owner’s fault, but a slight issue when loading and unloading the car (as a solo traveller).

The Beehive is located right next door to the Forest of Dean, with numerous public paths to explore and enjoy. It was spotlessly clean, with a very comfortable bed, a kitchen with everything needed. We loved how quiet it was and Alice welcomed us with a delicious cake waiting for us - a nice touch! I must mention the cleanliness again, which I’m very particular about - if I could give 20 out of 10 on cleanliness, I would: simply second to none. The Beehive was a fantastic base for exploring the great outdoors and it offered everything we needed, and more. The attention to detail was outstanding - the well thought out interior and decoration, the thorough and informative instructions for the tv and for entering the property, the suggestions pack, the fire safety - you could tell that Alice and Rob have put so much thought and effort into it all. Thank you, Alice! Planning our next visit to The Beehive!

It’s open plan. I had a Teams meeting to attend and no privacy was a bit of an issue. My partner and I managed to work around it and I am only mentioning this in the interest of keeping travellers informed, rather than as a criticism. Note to self: cancel all meetings during our next visit. :)

Perfect for a couple wanting to explore the Forest of Dean. Easy parking outside on road.

Lovely accommodation, nice touches throughout. Good local pub, ideal location for exploring the area
