“Lovely property and well maintained gardens.”

Nice welcome and very accommodating to allow us to enter earlier at 130 pm

Nice welcome and very accommodating to allow us to enter earlier at 130 pm Nice place. Road noise not an issue ( all relative to what your used to). Only thing o would improve is a better outside light when walking up and down those steep steps in the dark. The present light is just too dim.
Mr Pinner July 2019

“Lovely view from the rear of the property but very noisy road at the front.”

it mentioned in the write up for the property that it had steep steps,. the steps were realy steep,i had trouble with them and i am quite fit.
Mr Shugrue June 2019

“The steps up to the appartment were extremely steep and likely to be a little slippery when wet.”

This wasn't made clear in the description , my wife has only one eye and found them challenging . Overall an enjoyable break.

“We were surprised how busy/noisy the main road was.”

The twin room was uncomfortable and rather tight for space. Suffered from road traffic noise. It was difficult carrying suitcases up the steep stone external staircase; we are very able bodied. The hob needs an extractor to prevent the living area steaming up, and to remove cooking smells. There was a general feel that there was a lack of attention to detail for example: missing light bulbs, clock was not working. Whilst there was hanging room in the wardrobes there was no drawer space; the wardrobe in the twin room is very dark. On the positive side it was great to have off road car parking, and the place is good for visiting the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley. Also good supermarket shopping facilities nearby.

“Friendly hosts.”

Well equipped and comfortable apartment in convenient location.Easy to find and good facilities close by.
Mrs Frost April 2019

“The stable apartment was lovely with everything we needed for a relaxing short break and great views from the lounge area and bedroom.”

The apartment is in an ideal location to enjoy the many activities and tourist attractions in the area. The only minor draw back is as it is a first floor apartment, the steps up to the front door are very steep and though not a problem for us, it may be for someone less able or who has mobility difficulties. Overall a great place to stay and would definately recommend.
Mrs Greenwood October 2018

“Lovely location.”

Cottage lovely . Will revisit in warmer times
Mr Still August 2018

“The holiday was fantastic, all local amenities are within 10 mins drive.”

Had some fabulous walks in the Forest of Dean with our dog, the views at Symonds yak rock were stunning. The ride on the Forest of Dean railway was brilliant as with the boat tour at Gloucester docks. The apartment was brilliant has everything in there, the dog loved the walks in the back garden every morning and evening, just like home from home. Met Michael the owner who is very friendly and willing to help with any problems.
Mr Watkins August 2018

“This was our first holiday with our grandchildren so it was fraught with potential problems.”

The enormous garden proved popular with our two and with two children in the apartment below. The views were excellent (watching a pair of buzzards throughout the day was the highlight) with the Dean Forest Railway just below the far edge of the field. When we thought we had left some of our possessions, the owner immediately checked, and rang us back. Thankfully they turned up among the packaging! And he was equally pleased that we had our possessions intact.
Mr Harper June 2018

“Had a brilliant time.”

Accommodation was superb. We will definitely be back. Thank you very much Michael. All the best Ian. Elaine &Millie woof woof

“Spotlessly clean apartment with everything you need provided.”

Fantastic views and beautiful garden areas to sit in on an evening. Would highly recommend this apartment to anyone, only downside is steep steps you just have to go steady.
Mrs Wilson May 2018

“Very, very, very clean.”

Check in / out process very simple and communication with the owner was very easy, considering we booked very last minute. I recommend a stay here.
Mrs Cornish April 2018

The property

Lydney 0.7 miles.

A splendid first floor conversion in a Grade II listed coach house perched on a hill, with stunning views over Lydney and the Severn Estuary.

The dining area is in the corner of the comfortable sitting area which has far-reaching views over the shared gardens to the countryside and river beyond.

The main bedroom has a king-size bed with glorious views over the countryside to the rear of the property, whilst the cosy twin-bedded room overlooks the courtyard to the front of the coach house.

The delightful, extensive shared gardens feature four ponds and are just perfect for relaxing and enjoying a welcome drink after the day’s activities, or perhaps stroll down the hill into the town and sample one of the many pubs, cafes or restaurants.

The stunning countryside of the nearby Forest of Dean and Offa's Dyke provide excellent walking, cycling, fishing and nature watching opportunities.

Nearby visits to Clearwell Caves, Puzzlewood, Littledean Jail, Symonds Yat Rock or the Dean Forest Steam Railway can all be discovered, resulting in something for everyone in this delightful area.

The pretty riverside towns of Chepstow, Monmouth and Ross-on-Wye are also close by with the bustling cities of Cardiff and Newport an easy drive.

About the location

LYDNEY

Chepstow 9 miles, Monmouth 12 miles; Gloucester 20 miles; Chelttenham 27 miles; Bristol; Cardiff 41 miles

The small, thriving town of Lydney is situated between the eastern edge of the Forest of Dean and the River Severn in Gloucestershire. Lydney has a very good range of shops, a leisure centre and sports facilities, as well as pubs, cafes and restaurants serving a wide variety of meals. 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 on horseback. Caving, abseiling and a high wire rope course are for the more adventurous, whilst fishing, golf, kayaking and canoeing are other popular activities in this unspoilt area. The ancient caves of Clearwell are nearby, as are the Gloucestershire Way and Offa's Dyke Path. Symonds Yat boasts natural scenery and straddles the beautiful River Wye with its magnificent limestone outcrop, popular with climbers, and well-known for its viewpoint. Visit the nearby historic walled town of Chepstow with its impressive Norman Castle and the celebrated racecourse, whilst the pretty market town of Monmouth, with its mixture 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 offer excellent shops, pubs and restaurants. The unspoilt Brecon Beacons National Park and Black Mountains, as well as lovely Cotswold towns and villages are just a little further afield as are the cities of Cheltenham, Gloucester, Cardiff, Newport, and just across the Severn Bridge, Bristol and Bath. Lydney is ideally placed for enjoying the delights of Gloucestershire at any time of the year.
