As we wanted to revisit the Forest of Dean after spending many years caravaning there, we wanted to stay somewhere quiet and peaceful. This fits the bill perfectly. The apartment is spacious and well stocked with everything we wanted. It is within walking distance of the village with its convenience store and two pubs.

As we wanted to revisit the Forest of Dean after spending many years caravaning there, we wanted to stay somewhere quiet and peaceful. This fits the bill perfectly. The apartment is spacious and well stocked with everything we wanted. It is within walking distance of the village with its convenience store and two pubs. The gardens are lovely and guests are welcome to wander ,and even have a barbq! One thing to look out for is the daily emergence of bats from the barn outside the front door. A delight every evening at dusk. One drawback is the short steep stairs from the front door to the rest of the apartment, everything else is on one floor. The owners live in another part of the large mansion sized house and made us very welcome.

Thank you for such a wonderful welcome! Thoroughly enjoyed the fabulous apartment and grounds. This place has such character! Magnificent trees, seen the bats and met David who has been "bat counting" for years. Lots of walking, Symonds Yat, Soundley Ponds. All in all a wonderful time. Thank you for your hospitality, Pauline and James. (p.s. wine, cheese and scones also fabulous!)

What a wonderful place to stay!...We enjoyed the rooms, the amenities, the views throughout the windows and from the garden places, the quietness - and owls - at night... and last but not least, it's a very good place to start day-trips! We enjoyed cycling and rambling in The Forest of Dean and The Feast of St Mary's in Gloucester Catheral.

We have had a marvellous holiday here at Little Dean. What you have to offer here is quite unique: breathtaking gardens, very comfortable and attractive facilities and the beautiful Forest of Dean.

Dean Hall is exactly the right place to be for visiting historic houses and trips to The Forest of Dean. We really appreciated to stay in one of the oldest houses in England. I loved the outstanding sight directly from my bed to the old chestnut trees...

An amazing, comfortable apartment that the four of us have so enjoyed staying in. The weather has been superb and allowed us to explore and appreciate this area, also cider in the garden of the Black Pig, Newnham, not to mention lunches by The Wye. Thank you James and Pauline.

Thank you Pauline and James for your warm hospitality. We particularly appreciated your welcome with cheese, olives and chocolate! We hope to return, especially to explore the gardens and the forest tracks. We arrived for a secluded rest and relaxation and this we achieved at Dean Hall - a place of quality. Thank you.

I just wanted to say what a lovely time we had at Dean Hall Apartment between 1st - 8th August 2015. Pauline and James were the perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them. The apartment was very comfortable and so clean; we were really happy.

Very spcious and comfortable apartment. A great base for exploring the forest and also the Wye Valley. We can recommend Monmouth and Bistro Prego for food, Ross-on-Wye and Wilton court, Gloucester Cathedral and Docks and of course, the amazing Symonds Yat for unrivaled views. So much to see and do - we shall have to come back! Thank you.

What a piece of history! Thank you for sharing it with us. We love the house and the grounds. We were very happy to stay there some days. Drinking white wine in the Lollipop at lunchtime and BBQ in the evening - a real holiday. We enjoyed the tennis very much too, and picking fruit & veg. from the garden - my dream. Great recommendations for eating out - The Red Hart at Blaisdon, Saracens Head, Symonds Yat and great curry at Odisha. Thank you Pauline and James for such wonderful hospitality

Dean Hall is one of the most interesting places we have stayed in, full of charm & character. Pauline & James, who own the property made us so welcome, inviting us to make full use of the lovely 4 acre garden & tennis court. The accommodation was really first class, very clean, everything you needed for a self catering holiday with all the comforts of home. There is so much history attached to this lovely building it was so interesting to have a snapshot of times gone by.

We have just had a fabulous week at Dean Hall in Littledean. It was lovely to share in the history of this fantastic place. The accommodation was great - such spacious rooms - and the welcome from the hosts second to none. Homemade scones and a bottle of local wine to welcome us, then there was the huge garden for our use, with a lawn tennis court and BBQ. A real home from home with everything you need to properly cook if you want to - with the added bonus of fruit and vegetable to pick and use all week. We had to force ourselves to go out and visit the area as we could happily have spent the whole week at Dean Hall!

Thanks so much for a fabulous 10 days in this amazing house full of history! We loved touring this beautiful part of England. It was wonderful to meet Pauline and James who were so hospitable, warm and helpful. The freshly baked scones and local wine made us feel very welcome. It truly feels like "home away from home"

We spent a fantastic week here in August 2016. The apartment is a great size and very well equipped. There is loads to do locally and we really enjoyed spending time in the extensive grounds of this ancient and beautiful house.

Thank you for helping make our stay so wonderful: splendid, venerable house, with every comfort, stunning grounds, croquet, home-made scones with local wine and jams; convenient location to explore the wonders of the area. Thank you for your kind hospitality and for letting us share your jewel of The Dean.

We stayed at Dean Hall, South East Wing for 5 days in March 2017. The accommodation was excellent with everything that you could possibly need. The grounds are beautiful and Pauline and James are very good hosts. You arrive with a bottle of wine and milk in the fridge, home made cake, jams, marmalade which was great after a long journey. There are plenty of things to do in the area, local walks. You do need a car to go out and about. For us this was a great find.

It has been a lovely week at Dean Hall, with the spring sunshine streaming through the bedroom windows. The house has fascinated me since the days of childhood - walks down to Newnham which always involved passing the gates and peering in. The accommodation created here is excellent - cosy, clean and warm. The garden is a delight, with the mix of garden and wild flowers and colourful displays of bluebells. The floral displays in the apartment were much appreciated, as were the home-made scones and jam and the freshly laid eggs. Thank you both, James and Pauline, for a lovely break in The Forest.
Mr & Mrs Adams

The accommodation is charming, comfortable, well equipped and practical - once you get used to the low doorways! The eclectic art collection is interesting and the wildlike (especially the bats) is delightful. The lovely 'work in progess' garden has provided lots of ideas to take home. Littledean, on the edge of the forest, must have some of the most spectacular views in the country. We have had a wonderful relaxing stay. Thank you...

This is a charming apartment in a Wing of historic Dean Hall. It sounds grand and it is grand! The grounds are tastefully planted with interesting flowers and shrubs, making them a haven for wildlife. The house is very historic and we were interested to read the material about its history in the folder. James and Pauline will be happy to enlarge on this if you ask. There are lots of interesting places to visit, either walking or by car. A must is Gloucester Cathedral and Bourton on the Water - the most celebrated Cotswold village - it is busy but worth a visit. We will return!

A wonderful base for exploring The Forest of Dean and charming villages and towns. But this estate ranks above everything for its gardens history and comfort. The gardens and wildlife including cats, Billy and Sam, are enough to prevent you from straying from the front gate. Further afield, Sunday roast lunch at the Saracens Head pub, Symonds Yat East is a must do. A morning in beautiful Ledbury and lunch at the Talbot Inn is another must. Many thanks to our hosts and we can only admire you for your passion and for your gardens and historic manor.

“The accommodation is first class, gardens are lovely and peaceful.”

The area is beautiful for visitors and there is so much to do. The owners Pauline and James have made this holiday home perfect in every way possible. Flowers, wine, cake, preserves and fresh eggs were there for us to enjoy on arrival and we were told to help ourselves to produce from the garden during our stay. We would definitely recommend this property let to anyone.
