“Our stay at Tump View was absolutely wonderful.”

The cottage is clean, comfortable and well equipped and there are stunning views from the garden. We enjoyed sitting out in the sunshine (that was a surprise), listening to the bird song, sheep and pheasants, and were treated to a fly over by a red kite every afternoon. There are plenty of walks from the cottage; one of our favourites was to Symonds Yat, and the dogs loved exploring the Forest of Dean.

The cottage is clean, comfortable and well equipped and there are stunning views from the garden.

Ms Stanbrook October 2020

“A beautiful cottage with everything you need.”

Close to so many great walks and places to explore - we hope to return again to see more! Our dog loved the safe and secure garden, which meant he could go out by himself for a runaround when he wanted to.

Mr Calvert September 2020

“Whilst your pictures do their best to convey the splendour of the setting, the views from the garden are truly superb, and the decking etc has been installed to maximise the potential.”

This set the property apart from almost any other that we have visited. It helped that we had fine weather of course, so that we could take full advantage of sunny breakfasts on the upper decking area; and a relaxing glass of wine in the late afternoon on the lower one.

- Mr Calvert, September 2020
Mr Gibbs August 2020

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tump View which is well equiped and comfortable.”

We made good use of the gorgeous garden and decking area on what was the hottest week in August this year. Would return again without any hesitation! Many thanks to Jill the owner.

Miss Drake July 2020

“Lovely home!”

The cottage was a bit smaller inside than we were expecting but it was very cosy and cute. Everything was so well thought of, from the films, boardgames or cutlery in the kitchen. We loved all of it. The big bed was extremely comfortable and the outdoor area was lovely. We worked from there, and WiFi worked great. Best part was how clean the flat was when we got there. Extremely clean. We enjoyed our stay a lot!

- Miss Drake, July 2020
Ms Hinds September 2019

“The sofas/chairs downstairs smelt of dogs.”

(the accommodation is advertised as dog friendly so maybe I should book a no pets one next time) The bed is the main bedroom was very comfortable. Nice tables and chairs outside. Good host handover.

- Ms Hinds, September 2019
Mr Ruston September 2019

“Facilities were excellent but the views were even better!”

- Mr Ruston, September 2019
Mrs Bennett August 2019

“Lovely welcome from Jill when we arrived, with cake too!”

Great cottage, plenty of facilities for self catering, wonderful garden area, which we used fully. The wifi works well too! The location of the cottage is fabulous with walks out of the door and within a very short drive too. We walked over to Symonds Yat and Mallards Pike Lake is a stunning area. Loads of towns, villages and Cities in the area and plenty of eateries. The Inn on the Wye was great for lunch as was Hen and Dots, both near Goodrich Castle. We had a lovely stay and would recommend to others who enjoy plugging into nature!

- Mrs Bennett, August 2019
Mr Hardern July 2019

“Wonderful location, the cottage is fitted with everything anyone would need.”

We've stayed in a number of properties over the years, and without doubt this was the best experience.

Mr Schembri June 2019

“We have just returned from a lovely week at Trump View Cottage.”

Jill was there to meet us on arrival to show us around, and leave us some very nice cake. The cottage is very well equipped indeed, words cannot describe the garden and views our two little dogs had a blast and with it being fully enclosed we had no worries about them at all. The cottage is very well located to get out and about and we enjoyed some great days out even managed a trip into Wales it’s that close. Would highly recommend Trump View and hopefully we will be booking again in the not so distant future.

- Mr Schembri, June 2019

Mr Randeria November 2018

“A nice cosy cottage with all mod cons, in a nice quiet location.”

Our two dogs loved the space in the back garden. If you've got a dog or dogs, then this cottage is perfect, with two very good dog friendly pubs nearby. The Dog and Muffler, and the New Inn on the main road towards Coleford. They also do good food. Both are only a short drive away.

- Mr Randeria, November 2018

Mr Rennick May 2018

“What an amazing place.”

Jill the owner was so very helpful and friendly, the property had everything we could have asked for. We have a new baby, so extra facilities and needs were catered for too... above and beyond. We cannot recommend this beautiful cottage enough, we definately would like to return one day - possibly we can have some more sunshine! Even with the slightly tempestuous weather we enjoyed the stay, views and activities in the area. Thank you.

“What a wonderful cottage with stunning views.”

The enclosed garden was perfect for my dog and 2yo. The cottage was very well equipped even down to dishwasher & washing machine tablets and the travel cot was superb and came with a sheet and blanket. The bed is very comfy with quality bedding and pillows. I was a little worried about the night storage heaters but I needn't have worried as they were very efficient and we were never cold. I would recommend this cottage to anyone!

About the location

ENGLISH BICKNOR

Symonds Yat Rock 3 miles; Symonds Yat 7 miles; Ross-on-Wye 8 miles; Monmouth 8 miles.

The lovely village of English Bicknor, situated on the westerly edge of the Royal Forest of Dean and nestling within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is one of the ancient villages of the forest, situated at the top of a hill overlooking the valley, and once the site of an ancient motte and bailey castle, the remnants of which can still be seen. The villages of English Bicknor and nearby Symonds Yat are steeped in the history of this fascinating area and offer visitors a vast range of activities and landscapes. The Royal Forest of Dean comprises some 27,000 acres of woodland and provides, through a network of pathways and visitor centres, a chance to explore both its beauty and history. One great attraction is Symonds Yat Rock from which the breathtaking vista takes in the meandering River Wye and the distant hills of Herefordshire and Wales. Close by is the famous Goodrich Castle, a perfect example of a 12th century marcher castle, while just 8 miles away are the historic market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth. These attractive riverside towns make a great day out, offering a mix of elegant Victorian courtyards and timbered Tudor houses as well as excellent shops, pubs and restaurants to suit every taste. Stroll along the riverbank, take a cruise along the river or view the surrounding countryside from a hot air balloon. Enjoy trips to Chepstow, Tintern, Hay-on-Wye, the Black Mountains, Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. The historic town of Hereford, with its magnificent cathedral housing the Mappa Mundi ancient map of the world, is also well worth a visit.
