“It was not clear from the advertisement and pictures that this property was a mass of steps.”

We were not so naive as to think that the Hayloft was on the ground floor, but it did not mention all the steps up to the kitchen ,bedroom etc., The twisty steps down to the front door. Not suitable for people over a certain age and dogs. The property was so cold on our arrival - no heating on. It took hours to thaw out. ...

We were not so naive as to think that the Hayloft was on the ground floor, but it did not mention all the steps up to the kitchen ,bedroom etc., The twisty steps down to the front door. Not suitable for people over a certain age and dogs. The property was so cold on our arrival - no heating on. It took hours to thaw out. The Hayloft is well decorated, very clean, the bed very comfortable. No way of keeping the bathroom door shut unless you lock yourself in. The "Sitting room" furniture is not comfortable, a very small, hard 2 seater couch. and a wicker bedroom chair. We stayed 4 nights then headed home. Not entirely due to the accommodation the weather was awful.

“The apartment was outstanding.”

It was beautifully furnished and one of the nicest places I have stayed. The view was stunning. The garden was really lovely and, had it been the Summertime, I would not have wanted to go anywhere but just sit in it. The owners have worked extremely hard to get it where it is today. I met the owners on my stay. They gave me a brief history of the property, which was very interesting. They are a really lovely couple and have two really cute little dogs. I have told everybody what a lovely stay I had and will definitely like to go back again sometime next year. 5* You deserve it.

“A lovely flat with great views down to the town and across the countryside.”

Tastefully furnished, very comfortable and well equipped, we thoroughly enjoyed our short break here. Highly recommended.

“Great location and a really cosy, beautiful place.”

Would come back and will definitely recommend to friends and family for a holiday in the Forest of Dean.
Miss Woolley July 2018

“We booked last minute, communication was excellent, the cottage was beautiful, clean, gorgeous views and gorgeous garden, owners were lovely, welcoming and dog friendly.”

It was close to all of our booked activities and there was lots to do locally for all ages and tastes.

“The owners are extremely pleasant and helpful, even posting on our toothebrush charger that we left in the apartment.”

The bed was superb , most comfortable. The decription of the apartment does not mention the amount of stairs inside the apartment, which can make life difficult. Apart from that the whole experience was very good.

“The Hayloft is stunning .”

Lydney as a town was a complete let down. Lack of places to eat , not dog friendly pubs (only in garden) . Thankfully we had a car explored the area . ***OWNER RESPONSE*** Sorry you found Lydney disappointing. Most guests choose us for the close proximaty to Forest of Dean and The Wye Valley. The apartment has a rural setting with views over fields and forest, yet only half a mile from Lydney shops and a Tesco store. The Guest information folder in the apartment lists several dog friendly places to eat and drink in Lydney and surrounding area. We also recommend a visit to Bathhurst park in Lydney which has lovely formal gardens and fountain, extensive playing fields with safe dog walking area and a lovely cafe. We do hope you enjoyed your stay and thank you for taking the time to let us know your thoughts.***

About the location

LYDNEY

Chepstow 9 miles, Monmouth 12 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.
