Fourth time we’ve been and we love it every time. Lovely cottage and very friendly hosts. We’ll be going back again soon. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This is a delightful cottage in the heart of the Forest of Dean, situated on a working farm. The property has a large kitchen/diner, a well proportioned living room (although the sofas were not very comfortable) and a ground floor bedroom and large, fully accessible bathroom, ideal for older visitors. The upstairs bedroom was large and comfortable although the ensuite shower was rather cosy! The heating was efficient but beware the towel rails became exceptionally hot. The property was within a walled and hedged area providing a safe space for children. Parking facilities were good and there was secure storage for those travelling with bikes. The smell of the pigs was somewhat overwhelming on 3 of the 7 evenings we stayed at the property although fortunately only when outside the property. A welcome pack would have been nice. A couple of biscuits and 2 sachets of hot chocolate could be improved on. There were no toiletries and only one toilet roll per bathroom, not a spare in sight! The owners were very friendly and welcoming and all in all it was good value.

Very friendly owners. Made sure we were settled in and asked if we had everything we needed. Nothing too much trouble.

Lovely cottage, great hosts. Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely stunning, had everything you could possibly need, very warm and friendly surroundings. Pictures do not do the cottage justice of just how beautiful it is. Thank you for a wonderful, calm and relaxed break.

We found this lovely cottage well equipped, easy to find and built to a high standard. It was peaceful and quiet with four sheep outside our window keeping the grass short. Rich, the owner, introduced himself and his two daughters before going back to his farmhouse across the way. We weren't interrupted and were able to go about enjoying our holiday. Symonds Yat is a must, the view were spectacular. So many castles and Tintern Abbey to see, we'll have to return.

Beautiful walks in the forest, very friendly and warm welcome.

This cottage is lovely. Spacious and well equipped. However the beds were so soft that we ended up with back ache. Could do with at least a medium to film mattress to suit all.

We have enjoyed a lovely stay at The Lodge. It's close to a woodland walk and pub (though no food is served there unfortunately), down the road is a good sized Tesco and Co Op, plus local butchers etc so generally a good spot to visit the locality. The accommodation has a lovely spec, wifi excellent as were the showers and the beds for a good nights sleep..so no problems at all. We had our little Shi Tzu with us so it was important to have an enclosed garden area. The front patio with built in BBQ and seating was great as was the side and back garden. Being part of a farm, the grass area is fenced in by wire fencing to keep with the local countryside but doesn't afford any privacy, though is good for a short run around with the dog. We spent our time sitting and relaxing on the front patio, which was very pretty. The landlords and their family are lovely people and very happy to help. Altogether a lovely trip.

Really nice cottage in a good central location to go to local places.

The Lodge is a very comfortable, well equipped cottage and easily met our needs for the week. Would happily stay there again if I returned to the area.

Lovely cottage, nowhere really in walking distance for shops or pubs, but well located for day trips.

Excellent accommodation and very friendly and helpful owners.

Lovely property and ideal for two couples. Beautiful lounge and large kitchen. The only things we all felt the same about were one hand towel per couple was odd, and they were really rough. No toiletries in the property. No welcome items like cake or biscuits. These are not criticisms as such just what we have experienced at other cottages. Would recommend and would come back again ?
