“From the first time we met Ian and Sue we realised how friendly they and their family are.”

We were made to feel that we had known them for years. The cottage was lovely and comfortable and listening to their future plans for the pub things can only get better and we wish them all the luck in the world, and hope to see them again in the future. Mitch and Helen.

“We had a lovely week in the Forest of Dean.”

Sue and Ian at the New Inn were excellent hosts, very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was just as described and was very clean and comfortable.

Mrs Hallam July 2021

“The owners and their family were very helpful and welcoming.”

They were also very dog friendly, I think our puppy loved her first holiday! Only ate at the pub once, but it was lovely, and they even bought out water and biscuits for our puppy.

Mr Thompson July 2021

“Sue and Ian were great hosts and the Brewery Lodge exceeded all expectations.”

Every was supplied and the accommodation was immaculate. The locals in the pub were very friendly and the food in the pub excellent but beware if you have a small appetite. In all we’re had a great week at the Brewery Lodge.

Mrs Holt June 2021

“Fantastic little cottage in a beautiful location next to the pub which belongs to the owners Sue and Ian.”

They, their family and locals made us feel so welcome and made our stay a great one. Our puppy was more than welcome both in the cottage and the pub and she had the best time ever. Location was perfect to visit so many beautiful places and we will definitely book again as soon as we can. So pleased we booked Brewery Lodge.

Mrs Taylor May 2021

“We had a great time at brewery lodge.”

The owners were great and really welcoming. The accommodation was compact but we are a family of 4 and it suited us perfectly. You can access the forest in 2 mins, great for exploring. Perfect place for a week!

Mrs Hobbs October 2020

“We had a fabulous holiday.”

The cottage met our needs perfectly, it was spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped and very comfortable. It was in a perfect location to explore the surrounding area and the adjoining pub was a huge bonus. The owners and the locals in the pub made us feel so welcome, we will definitely be back. I cannot recommend this property and part of the world highly enough!

Mr Jefferies September 2020

“A gem! A dog-friendly cottage/lodge handily situated in the garden of the village pub & close to a number of attractions in the Forest of Dean and wider.”

The 2-bedroom accommodation is fitted with all amenities including a decent kitchen area, lounge & spacious wet-room. Note that the ground floor contains one bedroom & the wet-room whilst the lounge, kitchen and bedroom with en-suite are upstairs. The location & lodge were very comfortable and everything was very well-presented - there was even an arrival gift, most welcome. In these strange times it would be worth saying that everything possible was done to make the accommodation "Covid-safe", and that was appreciated. We would like to thank Sue & Ian for making us feel very welcome indeed and I would finish by recommending the local pub for its lovely homemade food and atmosphere. Would definitely visit again.

“The location was perfect for visiting places.”

The hosts were very welcoming and the food was great in the New Inn

Ms Morrell September 2020

“A lovely stay, and made better by the lovely friendly hosts and their family, the locals in the pub, were lovely and made us so welcome.”

The accommodation is based near the Forest of Dean, which provides great places to walk, if you want a relaxing weekend this the place to stay, a car is a good idea to visit some of the local attractions, Karen, Jacqui and Jasper the dog

Mrs Jacobs September 2020

“What a fabulous place this is, set on the edge of the Forest of Dean.”

The Lodge has all that you could possibly need for a great holiday. It is self-contained and very comfortable. It is attached to the pub but you wouldn't know it. no noise, nothing. What you do get is great hospitality and great food from Sue and Ian if you choose to eat in there. It's a very friendly place. There are woods close by to walk or you can go to other parts of the Forest of Dean, there is so much to see and do there that we hardly ventured out of the forest during the week. So much great scenery and fabulous walks. All in all, this was a great holiday in a wonderful location. p.s. our dog Bonnie enjoyed it too

- Mrs Jacobs, September 2020
Mr Pereira August 2020

“Very comfortable and well equipped home in a peaceful area.”

Good location for exploring the Forest of Dean and Welsh borders. Attached to the owner’s pub so very convenient to nip out for a drink or meal. Good quality, homely food and we ate there several times. Owners and locals all very welcoming and friendly. Had a lovely and relaxing time

- Mr Pereira, August 2020
Mr Foskett August 2020

“This holiday was great for us!”

(2 adults, 2 children, 1 dog) The cottage is lovely with a great layout and was spotlessly clean. Its is in a really handy location to explore the area. The owners are very welcoming and having the pub next door is great!Food is brill and you walk out the front door of the cottage into a lovely beer garden. A very lovely few days away :-) The donkeys in the field next door are very friendly too!

- Mr Foskett, August 2020
Mrs Palmer July 2020

“Very nice clean place.”

A lovely gesture of wine and chocs on arrival. My daughter is disabled so wet room and downstairs bedroom were ideal. Only problem is that the lounge area is upstairs which I did not realise, so she was distanced from us. She could not come up to eat with us so we all sat in downstairs bedroom together!. Besides that it was lovely their, and would recommend it to people who can climb stairs. Myself and hubby and dog would stay again.

- Mrs Palmer, July 2020
Mrs Miley September 2019

“Owners are lovely.”

Very well equipped cottage. Perfect for walks near by and definitely dog friendly. We had a fantastic holiday and would happily book it again. Even wine and chocolates on arrival. Only thing I would warn people to check pub and restaurant opening times. They finish serving food at 2.30 on Sunday and closed on Mondays. However will say Susannah is an excellent cook, her faggots and mash were the best I have ever eaten.

- Mrs Miley, September 2019
Mrs Hammond August 2019

“Great place for exploring the Forest of Dean.”

Ian and Sue were very welcoming and the pub is a great addition to this accommodation ! The accommodation itself had everything we needed for a family stay. Very quiet location and no noise from the pub.

- Mrs Hammond, August 2019
Mr Bennett July 2019

“Owners Sue and Ian were very welcoming and helpful.”

They even took pity on us oldies and unloaded the car for us . We only stayed two nights, wished we could have been there longer but it was not possible in July. Only problem was directions to the New Inn / Brewery Cottage. Initially on the information sheet it states that when you arrive at New Road, Lydney you have got there. Only problem is that the New Inn is not in New Road. When we phoned Sue re key etc, she gave us better directions.

- Mr Bennett, July 2019
Mr Smith September 2018

“Ian and sue the owners were brilliant,nothing was too much trouble, all the staff in the pub were friendly the attached cottage is of a high standard and extremely comfortable absolutely ideal for a few days stay even though it’s attached to the pub you can’t hear anything during opening hours, it’s a very quiet village and not being on a main road there’s not a lot of traffic either, we would definitely stay here again.”

- Mr Smith, September 2018
Mr Henshaw August 2018

“Very small kitchen not enough room for 4 people short of kitchen things shower ...”

Very small kitchen not enough room for 4 people short of kitchen things shower room could do with what very bad could do with table lamp in sitting room

Mr Rogers July 2018

“A very well equipped cottage,nice and clean.”

Owners very friendly and helpful.

- Mr Rogers, July 2018
Mrs Francks June 2018

“We had a lovely quiet break enjoying the beautiful countryside around the cottage.”

We were made very welcome and made use of the pub next door both for drinks and a meal. The cottage was lovely and clean with everything we needed it was very peaceful. My father struggled walking and the ground floor bedroom and wet room was ideal. We hope that we will be able to return one day.

- Mrs Francks, June 2018
Mrs Buck May 2018

“Lovely cottage fitted out tastefully.”

Clean and conveniently located for our purpose. Very quiet considering attached to the pub of the owners. Owners were great and couldn't do enough for you even to the extent of personally cooking us a delicious pub meal on arrival on Sunday long after their Sunday lunch service had finished and food was no longer on offer. Local pub drinkers very friendly too. Highly recommend this cottage to anyone.

- Mrs Buck, May 2018

About the location

BLAKENEY

Gloucester 16 miles; Monmouth 16 miles; Ross-on-Wye 17 miles.

The ancient village of Blakeney lies on the southeast edge of the Royal Forest of Dean and was once a site of a Roman Villa dating back to 75AD. Equidistant to Gloucester and Monmouth, the village boasts many 16th and 17th century buildings, with a charming 16th century coaching inn, and also offers a good selection of amenities including a fish and chip shop, village store and Post Office, as well as numerous walks and cycle routes. The magnificent Royal Forest of Dean, England's largest oak forest and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, boasts numerous trails that can be explored on foot, by bike or horseback. Caving, abseiling and a high wire rope course can be enjoyed by the more adventurous, whilst fishing, golf, kayaking and canoeing are other popular activities available in this unspoilt area. The eerie caverns and ancient caves of Clearwell are close by, as are the Gloucestershire Way and Offa's Dyke Path for wonderful walks. Close by, Symonds Yat boasts natural scenery and straddles the beautiful River Wye with its magnificent limestone rock, popular with climbers, and well known for its viewpoint. Visit the historic town of Monmouth, which offers a fusion of elegant Georgian mansions and Victorian courtyards, or the lovely town of Ross-on-Wye with its timbered Tudor houses and delightful riverside walks, both home to excellent shops, pubs and restaurants. The unspoilt Malvern Hills, Brecon Beacon National Park and Black Mountains, as well as lovely Cotswold towns and villages are just a little further afield.
