• "A lovely house for 5 older couples or families."

  Very comfortable, spacious and very well equipped, if self catering. Although we ate out every evening. Two or three pub restaurants close by and within driving distance in Lydney & Coleford. We particularly liked the Rising Sun, Moseley Green. We were lucky that the weather was fantastic giving a chance to explore the Forest of Dean and Severn Estuary.

• "Words can't describe how perfect this property was for our weekend away."

  Pictures don't do justice, it's a really big property. Clean and tidy, lovely extras (milk, biscuits etc) were a lovely touch. Communication excellent, friendly and approachable. Honestly the whole experience surpassed expectations Would 1000% stay again and wished we had booked for longer Few maintenance things need doing: One half of oven doesn't work, lots of missing bulbs around property, football table very unstable - we didn't use as too afraid it would break

  Thank you Miss G. Thank you for pointing out the maintenance issues, we will look into those this week. Property Owner

• "This is a superb house and so much bigger than the photos would suggest."

  The living area is huge and all the bedrooms are very large too. It has all the equipment you would need and everything worked faultlessly, aside from the odd light bulb, but nobody minds that. It is a fabulous house with loads of parking (we had 4 cars parked), pet friendly, lovely personal touches and high quality - already planning a return visit.

  Thank you for your kind words- look forward to welcoming you back soon! Property Owner

• "The house itself is very nice and as described, the issue with the house is the burglar alarm."

  We experienced approximately 10 power cuts through the night in the storm, after the power came back, the burglar alarm sounded every time. There are two burglar alarms, one in the hallway downstairs and one in the master bedroom where we had a 4 month old baby sleeping. We felt we had to leave a day early after getting no sleep. The burglar alarm needs either a battery back up or to be disabled for guests as a neighbour told us when we were leaving on the Sunday that the alarm sounding is not uncommon and that he often hears it sounding.

  Thank you for your feedback regarding the alarm. Unfortunately the weekend of your stay the area was hit hard by the storm and there was multiple power cuts.. Following on from your feedback, I have had electricians visit the cottage to work on the alarm. Property Owner

  Pictures don't do it justice. Really spacious and comfortable. Well equipped with all you need to cook. Two fridges and separate freezer. Ample cleaning products. We arrived when it was dark and the cottage being lit and warm was very welcoming. Amie contacted me on the day to check how we wanted the beds made up.

Even when half of the party left, the cottage didn't feel empty, it was really cosy and warm. It's ideally positioned in the village with two pubs both within easy walking distance. Which both served lovely food. And with a pretty shop come post office and cafe next door it was ideal for newspapers and they were even able to order me gluten free bread from the local baker, absolutely delicious if I may add.

  However, as mentioned by others, the ground floor en-suite bathroom had a leak, which had been patched up with bubble wrap, but wasn’t working. The floor was constantly wet. I mentioned this, and was advised it was being mended next week. The house was nice in general, and had everything we needed, but did need some TLC as mentioned by others. The kitchen in particular was looking tired, with the laminate coming off of the cupboards. The house was in a great location. We enjoyed a trip on the steam railway, a walk around Nagshead RSPB reserve, and the sculpture trail. We also had a lovely meal at the Fountain Inn.

• "The ensuite in the double bedroom downstairs at the rear of the staircase was unusable as there was a leak either from the shower or the toilet."

  It looked as if there was bubble wrap stuffed behind the toilet and inbetween the toilet and the shower to attempt to stop the leak. It didnt work. The house had the accomodation we needed for 10 people (apart from that one bathroom).. it was comfortable and plenty of cooking pots and crockery. the plates could do with replacing as tired and some cracks. good washing and drying facilities. internet not good .. but we are used to that as we live rurally!!! this could annoy others .We couldnt get the dvd player to work. We had two small children with us aged 2 and 3 and the concrete stairs were a constant worry to us. the provision of a stair gates or advice that these stairs wernt suitable for toddlers and small children would be helpful . Also please for future occupants update the recyclling folder. There was no blue bag for cardboard and it didnt make sense. Also it would be useful to state which day you need to put the recycling/rubbish out. However we had a wonderful holiday in a perfect location for our family.

  Hi, thank you for your feedback. The toilet has now finally been repaired and bubble wrap removed! Concerned about the internet issues and dvd player, so thank you for raising it and i will look into it further. Property Owner

• "About Time Cottage is in a fantastic location for exploring the Forest of Dean."

  There were so many things to do and we managed to fit in the Dean Forest Steam Railway, hiking to Mallard's Pike, the Sculpture Walk, Chepstow Castle, Tintern Abbey, Hopewell Colliery and Westbury Court Garden plus we saw wild boar and deer at the nature reserve. We had a couple of good meals at the Woodman Inn too. If you visit outside the school holidays make sure to check which days attractions are open as some are not open every day. About Time Cottage is a great house with large rooms (good sized bedrooms and a massive lounge/dining area and a great laundry/drying room) and many good facilities including fast wifi enough for all of us (which you need because there's no 'phone signal at all). The hosue does need a bit of TLC. Much could do with a refresh or a bit more attention paid to making sure that everything is right for each set of new visitors. I'm not sure how often (or if) the owners visit as they would see what could be improved but just a bit of time and money. For example, there is a lovely decking area but we couldn't use it because the plums from the tree in the garden had ripened and fallen all over the ground which attracted loads of wasps (this was mentioned in the visitors' book a month ago but nothing had been done). Ideally the plums should be picked up on a regular basis to stop this happening. Some of the kitchen equipment was low quality - plastic glasses for champagne, cheap cutlery. No cleaning stuff provided, not even in the kitchen or bathrooms - we even had to ask for a mop. Quite a few light bulbs not working (also mentioned by previous visitors). No details on when to put the bins out. There is a folder with what you can recycle but why not put labels or pictures on the 4 bins provided in the kitchen, it would be so much easier? Also the recycling and food bins were practically full when we arrived, not great for a house of 10 people and a dog, especially the food bins when it was so hot. It was very hot but the house didn't have any fans (we did ask but none were provided). The upstairs loft room was particularly hot because the blinds don't keep out any light at all (bring an eye mask if you sleep in that room). Would be great to replace them or add blackout blinds and it would help to keep the room cool. Bathroom showers were a bit mouldy, we have cleaned off as much as we could for you! This mjight seem like a long list but we did have a lovely time and would definitely come back if the house is updated. Thanks

  Thank you for the feedback. We are trying to keep on top of maintenance and do as much as we can at changeovers. We are actually shutting the cottage down in November to do bigger jobs, and add/replace bits as required. Property Owner

  This is a great spacious property in the forest of Dean with lovely easy walks within 5 minutes drive and the 2 pubs on your door step are throughly recommended. The design of the house with its 1st floor "living area is brilliant". The steam railway almost next door is also worth a trip. There is currently no mobile signal in Parkend which may or may not be a blessing. That said wifi was perfect and we used WhatsApp for calls no problem. The whole area is very beautiful.

  We were very unlucky as the heating had broken down and it was very chilly, especially for my elderly Mother. A plumber did come out but even on our last day it hadn’t warmed up mainly due to the huge nature of the open plan living area. Read the other reviews as they are true. Noise levels within the house are extremely high across all three floors. Beware when using the shower on the top floor as the water struggles to drain away. Without a real focus on maintenance this is not a property I would return to.

  It is spacious, well laid out and generally a fab place for a large group. It was clean and comfortable. I loved the open plan design as we could all be together. Unfortunately it does not seem to be particularly well cared for. It has so much potential to be amazing but it didn't quite do it for us. One of the bedroom doors is glass so no privacy for one member of the family! There were lots of blown lightbulbs. Some of the plugs in the sinks and bath didn't go down properly or were not connected to the mechanism so couldn't come out again. The water system in the house is very noisy, all through the night - when we weren't using any! And, as another customer has mentioned it is noisy. Some soft furnishings would make all the difference. At the moment when kids are playing the games it is very hard to hear conversations as the noise just echoes around. These are all little things and we still had a great time. But if these were fixed the house would truly be a haven to keep coming back to.

  Thanks for the feedback Mrs H. We removed so much of the soft furnishings during covid, and only put a few bits back in, but maybe we could do some more now.. We have already addressed the lightbulbs and plugs... and are investigating the noisy pipe work. It would be lovely to welcome you back to our cottage. Property Owner

  Very caring owners and the welcome treats were greatly appreciated. Well equipped bedrooms and lovely towels! The pool table was a big hit in the lounge but could be a bigger size. Just a couple of things let the property down. The TV in the lounge could definitely do with updating to a Smart TV and the kitchen needs some attention. The smaller half of the oven doesn’t work and the dishwasher is tricky to open, getting wedged on the plinth. Well equipped though with great amount of fridge space. All aspects of the property were clean except for the wooden floor which could do with a deep clean. Instructions for the bins outside would be useful as all counties/areas are different.

Coming from an area where food waste is not collected we were not sure weather it was put in the outside food bin bagged or loose so ended up putting it our ordinary rubbish. Thank you so much.

  I would fully recommend the cottage and the service provided thank you.

  Lovely bathrooms and lots of space. Lovely local shop just a few doors away and lots of walking in the area.
