The Grooms

THE DIRECTIONS TO THE PROPERTY WERE A BIT INCORRECT, I.

E. THE TURN OFF FOR BREAM RD IS ONLY 100 YARDS NOT TWO, AND THE PROPERTY IS QUITE A WAY UP ON THE RIGHT, APART FROM THAT THE PROPERTY IS AS DESCRIBED. WE REALLY ENJOYED OUT STAY.

What a brilliant find!

Very well appointed for exploring the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside (you do need a car). Parking right next to the cottage for one car and access to the beautiful multi stepped garden was perfect for our doggy to explore. A lovely forest walk nearby was also a great place to take her for a walk (no paths so a little bit dicey walking on the side of the road). The cottage itself is furnished to an extremely high standard and is extremely comfortable. Two good sized rooms with very comfortable beds and pillows. Open plan dining room and kitchen was very stylish and kitchen was the best equipped self catering kitchen I’ve ever been to! You would easily be able to make simple meals here without any hassle. Bathroom quite small but nicely done, electric shower ok and plenty of hot water. Lovely veranda looking out on stunning views, a great place to have your morning cuppa! Would definitely come back, thank you!

A lovely spot!

We really enjoyed the balcony and fabulous views. The welcome goodies were very much appreciated as was the provision of loo rolls! Thank you so much.

Meet expectations and perfect for family gathering Owners very helpful as we forgot our dog bowls

oh my The Grooms is stunning !

Live the decor! It has everything you need and more! The kitchen is fabulous we cooked full meals everyday for 2 weeks for 4 it's so easy to work in and has so much space and so well equipped. There seemed so much space for four of us. We never seemed to be on top of each other. It was great as insude it was all on one leval for my elderly relatives to get around. There are so many walks around the area and Lydney has plenty of open spaces. Grounds of property are stunning and owners are extremely friendly and helpful. We had a fabulous time and very relaxing. Thank you xx

Who would give you Christmas in a holiday let?

Well Elaine and Doug will. They go the extra mile. Brilliant.xxx

Stayed for 3 weeks.

Elaine and Doug couldn't have been more helpful. The flat is fab with a fantastic terrace. Being able.to use the delightful gardens was a lovely bonus. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here!!!

The property was excellent.

The owners had thought of everything including milk in the fridge, so we could make tea on arrival and a bottle of wine. The property is thoughtfully and tastefully decorated. Cannot praise it enough.

We really loved Grooms and Elaine and Doug were very friendly and welcoming.

We felt at home immediately. The apartment was excellent and we particularly enjoyed the balcony and amazing views. Location for trips within the forest and over into Wales and access to Gloucester made it an ideal choice of accommodation.

We had such an enjoyable stay at Grooms, the furnishings were comfortable and the facilities well appointed.

Will definitely recommend to others to come and stay here.

Perfect accommodation, everything we needed especially and on one level for Mum (with limited mobility) Beautiful views from balcony/terrace, lovely gardens.

Very comfortable beds & sofas. Well equipped kitchen including dishwasher (a must for me!!) Dog friendly & easy to hoover floors too. Local area well worth visiting especially for dog walks

We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Grooms - the apartment has been stylishly decorated and the balcony is the most perfect breakfast room ever!

Our hosts were absolutely lovely, nothing was too much trouble and our crazy Labrador, Magic, was made most welcome. The facilities are top notch and the apartment extremely well equipped. Lydney is well placed for exploration of the Forest of Dean and has everything you could need if you don’t want to travel far. The gardens are beautiful, accessible by a series of steps and slopes but it’s all good exercise!

Lovely property.

Thoroughly enjoyed our short break . Beautiful part of the country to explore. So pleased we chose to stay at The Grooms. Would definitely like to stay there again.

A lovely property in a stunning location with helpful owners.

The wine, milk and chocolates were a nice touch. The king sized bed was very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped.

We stayed at the Grooms for a week and we absolutely loved it!

The property is accessed from the front at ground level, and the private balcony at the back overlooks the hillside, forest and even has the local steam train running by a few days a week. The property itself was immaculate and really comfortable. The owners have put so much thought into making sure guests have everything they need during their stay. There’s a tesco just at the end of the road which was great for food shopping, the roadside is busy and there isn’t really a footpath for some part which made it a bit tricky for walking into town / taking the dog for a walk (not the owners fault but something to bear in mind if you prefer to go places on foot). It was a great base for us for our week to explore the area. There’s a train station in the town (need to drive to it but then it was free parking) which is great for going further afield without the hassle of driving. Elaine (one of the owners) was lovely to talk to and in no way intrusive; as soon as we mentioned that we were on our honeymoon she left us a lovely surprise gift on our return one day. We’d highly recommend it and would definitely love to return again in the future.

On the edge of Lydney but only a few minutes walk and you're iin the town centre which has a reasonably sixed tesco with filling station.

Walk back is all up hill but fine if reasonable fit. Excellent base for forest of Dean, Wye valley and cotswolds. The grooms was fine for 3 of us, we ate out but the kitchen new and nicely done though limited pans. Clean and comfortable with beautiful views.

Very comfortable, beautifully decorated very in keeping with the surroundings of the house.

Interesting garden.

So comfortable, home from home.

Good quality equipment. Excellent views from the terrace. Great location!

Accommodation was lovely, only criticism was the slow flow of water at the bathroom sink and hot tap in the kitchen.

We enjoyed our stay at The Grooms.

The balcony, garden and spectacular view across to the River Severn were particularly good features. The location is very good for exploring the Forest of Dean and Elaine and Doug are friendly helpful hosts, who are always available.

Lovely accommodation with all that is needed for a lovely, stress free break!

A beautiful cottage with all mod cons.

Clean and well-equipped with goodies on our arrival which our teenagers appreciated! The shower was AMAZING, the beds incredibly comfortable and the view just beautiful. A great base to explore the area especially if you are fans of playing in rivers and walking through the forests. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful getaway, we very much enjoyed our stay.
