"Lovely peaceful property with enclosed garden and field for dogs to run in."

"We truly enjoyed our stay."
Kathy and Russell were perfect hosts, and Charlie the dog was delightful. The grounds of the property were perfect for our energetic Springer, as was the walk into the forest was right on the doorstep. Was a perfect place for exploring the many trails in the Forest of Dean. There was plenty to do and many places to visit in the area. The stables was lovely and clean, with everything that we needed. All in all it was a perfect stay. We will definitely be returning to see other places that we want to visit. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Kathy and Russell! Mick , Anita and Ollie

"It was a short break but we loved every minute of it."
The girls loved playing with Charlie and always pleased to see him. The property was lovely and comfortable and the views were spectacular. We loved exploring the woods that were literally across the road. Great places to cycle and lovely little towns surrounding the area. We are hoping to return for a bit longer next time. The hosts were lovely and very accommodating. A great place to stay and get away from it all and go back to nature. Thank you.
Hi J,D,E&E. Really pleased you enjoyed your stay here in the Forest, & had a good time exploring. It was lovely to meet you all & Charlie certainly missed his playmates when you left!. Enjoy the rest of the summer. Best wishes K,R & C Property Owner

The owners Kathy and Russell were lovely, friendly and helpful. Our dog fell in love with their border collie and enjoyed playing with him on a number of occasions in the large fenced-off field in front of the accommodation.

"This is a lovely property in a wonderful location."
We enjoyed a relaxing week amongst very friendly neighbours , they were willing to stop and pass the time of day with you. The Stable was very well equipped with everything necessary for self catering. The furnishings were very comfortable and the bed was extremely comfy too. The outdoor space including the paddock is a bonus if your four legged friend joins you ,our dog enjoyed chasing Charlie the owners dog. All in all one of the best holiday cottages we have been to, Kathy and Russell are very hospitable and a welcoming lemon drizzle cake was an added bonus.

"We had a wonderful week in this beautiful cottage which is perfectly placed to explore the Forest of Dean."
The cottage is very well equipped, the garden amazing for our small dog and the hosts were very kind and considerate. We've been staying in holiday cottages over the last 20 years, this one is by far the best we've stayed in.
Hi K & J. Thank you for your fabulous feedback, it's very kind of you. It was nice to meet you & glad you got to see Goshawks & boar despite the rubbish weather. Best wishes, K.R & C Property Owner

"Super place to stay so convenient for the Forest of Dean and the surrounding area."
The pictures and descriptions are accurate and the joining instructions from the couple who run The Stable are really good. It was nice warm even though the outside temperature during our three night stay was minus three degrees Celsius. There are pubs within walking distance, the Nags Head only 1km away only takes cash, so please note. The edge of the forest is right next to the property which is a lovely bonus.
Hi A & C. So glad you enjoyed your short stay with us despite the challenging weather. Thanks for the great feedback . Hope you have a Merry Festive Season. Best wishes K,R & C Property Owner

"What a wonderful place to stay, with lovely views and so peaceful."
The owners, Kathy and Russell, couldn't have been more welcoming and the lemon drizzle cake was the best. To top it all, our son loved being greeted by Charlie wanting to play 'fetch' every time we arrived back after a day out. I don't know who wore the other out first! Thank you for a fantastic holiday.

It was in a great location for the Forest of Dene, with sheep and boar able to roam beyond the external gates. The owners Kathy and Russell were easy to chat to, and our dog had a great time playing with their Border Collie Charlie in their paddock which was adjacent to The Stable's garden. The spacious enclosed garden was also a nice touch. We really enjoyed our stay; would stay again if we were that way and would definitely recommend to others.

A superb all ground floor barn conversion set in the grounds of the owner's home on the southern edge of the Forest of Dean.
A bright and cheery feel is evident as you enter this property with its spacious open plan living area complete with kitchen, dining area to seat all guests, and comfortable sitting area from where the lovely views can be enjoyed.
The two bedrooms are positioned at either end of the living area, both with views over the garden and countryside beyond.

Next door to the cottage is a useful drying room with washing machine.
Enjoy walks or bike rides from the cottage and perhaps stop for refreshment at one of the traditional pubs in the area or visit one of the many farm shops.
For the more active there is an abundance of activities to be enjoyed in the forest.
Just a short drive away are the ancient caves of Clearwell, the riverside town of Ross-on-Wye and the Severn Estuary, famous for its tidal bore, and a delight for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts.
A wonderful cottage for a romantic break or small family holiday, to be enjoyed all year round.

A thriving village on the southern edge of the wonderful Forest of Dean with an excellent pub and village shop offering many lovely walks and cycle routes in all directions. The RSPB Nagshead Reserve is home to many rare woodland birds and offers interesting events for all ages throughout the year. 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 eerie caverns and ancient caves of Clearwell are close by, as are the Gloucestershire Way and Offa's Dyke Path. 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.
