“The location of the cottage, right up close to the forest was great.”

Every facility was provided, and we really wanted for nothing. We particularly liked the beds which were exceptionally comfortable. I would certainly recommend this cottage to anyone else planning to stay in the Forest of Dean.

“I felt the cottage was much better than the pictures showed on the website.”

- Mrs Strike, August 2018
“Well kept cottage with good facilities ...”

Well kept cottage with good facilities Stairs are steep to upstairs lovely garden and patio area ideal for children or dogs welcome pack on arrival and very good quality towels and bedding ideal cottage to unwind or a base for touring the beautiful Forest of Dean

- Mr Brookshaw, August 2018
“The cottage was in an excellent position, with good views in both directions.”

It was in very good condition and had all the facilities needed. The owners were extremely helpful, even going to the trouble of phoning us, on the morning before we left, to let us know of road works, on our journey there.

- Mr Hinchliff, June 2018
“Beautiful cottage, nestled in the forest itself, with walking access (via a 'fun' plank bridge) straight into the forest.”

The cottage is really comfortable, recently renovated, and very cosy with underfloor heating and a woodburning stove. Great location for cyclists with the family bike trail a couple of minutes drive up the road (or across the wobbly bridge), and walking distance to Go Ape Junior. Gina and Raj were super helpful with minor glitches, left us a tasty pannettone and other nibbles in a welcome pack. Highly recommend staying there - we even saw four little baby boar on an evening walk from the cottage.

- Dr Potter, March 2018
“Excellent location with lots to do in the forest and nearby.”

We saw wild boar from the cottage window. The owners had thought of everything that holiday makers might need including an extensive welcome pack. Comfort and décor of the cottage was first rate. We can highly recommend it.

- Mrs Shorthouse, March 2018
“We spent a very enjoyable and comfortable week here in the heart of the Forest.”

The house has all the best modern comfort and amenities, while retaining its historic character. The interior is beautifully presented and immaculately clean. The decorative style is classy and imaginative, and done to the highest standard of workmanship. The location is perfect for anyone who likes the outdoors, wildlife and peace and quiet. The Forest is literally straight outside the back gate, and there are lots of activities within walking distance or a few minutes drive. Even in the coldest days, gripped by snow, the house was warm and comfortable with plenty of hot water. We prepared most of our meals at home, and appreciated the quality of the kitchen equipment and appliances. We also appreciated the generous starter pack of supplies provided by our hosts. The biggest issue we had to get used to was not having any mobile phone signal. We loved learning about the fascinating history of the area and would highly recommend it.

- Mr Connolly, March 2018
“A really lovely cottage with all the facilities you'd need to feel right at home.”

Immaculately turned out and a great little Welcome Pack of bare essentials provided on arrival like bread, milk, etc which is a nice touch. Comfy beds and cosy rooms all round. Overall excellent value for money. Located right in the middle of plenty of walking and cycling trails and only a 20 minute walk from the GoApe kids site which was perfect for us. Plenty of places within half an hour drive if you need to pick something up from the supermarket too. Lots to see and do in the surrounding area.

- Mr Wesley, February 2018
“A wonderful cottage presented to a very high standard.”

The property is located in a great place for walking or cycling straight from the door. We stayed for a winter week and were cosy and comfy.

- Ms Smith, December 2017
“Really cosy cottage, beautifully furnished and very well equipped.”

A very generous welcome basket was a treat to start off our holiday. The area is beautiful, surrounded by forest and with many things to do.

- Mrs Tuite, October 2017
“Wonderful cottage with excellent facilities and features coupled with a great location.”

No hesitation in recommending it to anyone wishing to visit this area.

- Mr Chevis, August 2017
“Lovely cottage in the middle of the Forest”

We spent a week in the cottage recently and loved it. The owners really have tried to think of everything, and it is probably the best equipped cottage I've ever stayed in. All the booking and key collection arrangements were very well organised and the really detailed information pack meant that there was no guesswork about how to work the cooker, washing machine etc. We also appreciated the list of nearby places to eat, several of which we tried & all were excellent. The cottage is beautifully decorated, very clean and very comfortable. The beds were really comfy and the rain shower in the downstairs shower room was great. The weather wasn't very kind to us while we were there so we didn't get to enjoy the lovely garden as much as we would have liked. A pair of lesser spotted woodpeckers visited a few times which was an added bonus. The property is within easy travelling distance of all the Forest of Dean activities as it's on the road through the middle of the Forest. That does mean that there is occasional road noise but we didn't find it ntrusive - the wandering flock of sheep was noisier than the cars! I wouldn't hesitate to book in the future.

“The cottage was gorgeous and so well equipped.”

The owners have thought of everything and have made it feel so homely. The owners were easy to contact and were very accommodating with us taking dogs and a baby. Nothing was too much trouble and their little touches just added to an even more wonderful stay. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking to book!!

- Mrs Hyslop, April 2017
“Wonderful cottage within a great location.”

Couldn't fault anything. Lovely little stream 2 minutes walk away which our children loved having a splash in! Walking distance to the cycle hire shop and great walking routes in Beechenhurst. Would definitely recommend to others.

- Dr Layfield, April 2017
“Beautifully kept cottage in the heart of the Forest of Dean”

Beautiful cottage in idyllic location. The cottage itself is finished to a very high standard, with luxurious comfort in mind and EVERYTHING thought of. Perfect area and base to take the dogs for long walks in the Forest of Dean, just a step outside the back door. Would definitely return and would recommend highly to anyone.

“We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage.”

Everything about it was quality, from the bedding to the garden. It was great for our dogs as we have a real oldie and a young dog and being so close to the forest was ideal. As we live down a quiet lane I was a bit worried about the road at the front but it wasn't an issue. The welcome pack was extensive and delicious (especially the lemon drizzle cake.) The owners were very easy to deal with and we would recommend this cottage to anyone, especially keen walkers and cyclists.

“The cottage is really stunning, the decor was lovely, and all the fittings and appliances are top of the range.”

It is extremely well equipped, in fact they have thought of everything. I think it is fair to say that this was the best self catering accommodation we have stayed in. The beds were really comfortable and ensured a good nights sleep every time. The only thing missing was a sighting of the local wild boar, but that is probably a blessing in disguise!

- Mrs Preston, March 2017
“Cottage in Cannop no 3”

When we arrived after a heavy day moving house, as we stepped inside my husband said 'this is just what we needed'! Everything was perfect, fresh loaf of bread, butter, jams, milk and juice! The garden was so pretty too. Inside everything has been well thought out, with quality items. Upstairs was even better, with comfy beds and tasteful decor, the bathrooms were lovely too. The washing machine was added bonus for a washing freak like me! We were only 4 miles from home but it was just what we needed before we started our self build. A ****

“My husband and I decided to stay in the Forest of Dean for ten days pre-marathon training.”

The cottage is perfectly placed for activities in the forest, the family cycle trail being a short walk from the cottage. There are plenty of great restaurants and food outlets within a 10mile radius. We cooked for the ten days and there was plenty of quality local produce. The Wye Valley Smokery is nearby and has a fantastic array of smoked and fresh fish. In the opposite direction there are good butchers and delis in Monmouth, Ross-on-Wye and a nice farm shop on the road to Chepstow. The cottage is well renovated and a lot of thought has gone into how it is set up for holidays. There's Sky+ for the long evenings and a smart TV which has Netflix, which the broadband coped with fine. The broadband isn't the fastest but then you are in the middle of the forest! We only really had an issue when downloading movies to watch on our Sky account, but even then it was just a case of waiting a bit before watching. Overall I'd highly recommend the place

- Mr Zacaroli, February 2017
“Very nice cottage, everything new and high standard quality, clean.”

Two bathrooms, excellent shower! All essentials provided, beautiful Xmas decorations. Good wood fire stove and smart TV with sky, Netflix, amazon... Within walking distance of activities and attractions: Beechenhurst lodge, Go Ape Junior, Sculpture trail, Cannop pounds and Cannop Cycle centre.
