Mrs Beesley
October 2020

“We found Granary Cottage a lovely clean quiet comfortable place to stay.”

The only slight criticism would be that we found the bathroom cold even with the blow air heater. All in all a relaxing couple of days with our dogs. We would definitely stay here again.

- Mrs Beesley, October 2020
Miss Walker September 2020

“Perfect cottage in lovely surroundings.”

Walks on the doorstep or just a short drive away. Dog friendly. Spacious cosy cottage, had everything that was needed, would definitely like to return.

- Miss Walker, September 2020
Mrs Pritchard-novak August 2020

- Mrs Pritchard-novak, August 2020
Mr Deegan August 2020

“Cosy cottage in s lovely location.”

- Mr Deegan, August 2020
Mr Bradley August 2020

“The cottage was nicer than the photos and the little garden was very private.”

As a gas cooker user a few instructions in relation to operating the electric oven and hob would have proved useful. All else really good

- Mr Bradley, August 2020
Mrs Joyce August 2020

“The garden is fully enclosed but unfortunately you have to go round the side of the house to access it so when it’s dark it’s pitch black and there is no garden light or a torch provided.”

- Mrs Joyce, August 2020
Mr Dugen August 2020

“One niggle - the water heating is oil fired and the extract is directly below the lounge window so the smell would go into the cottage.”

Perhaps worth looking at this to see if anything can be done

- Mr Dugen, August 2020
Mr Santy October 2019

“Lovely , comfortable cottage in a great location.”

Owners were friendly without being obtrusive and were on site should we have needed them. Would highly recommend. We had a fabulous few days away.

- Mr Santy, October 2019
Mrs Gibson September 2019

- Mrs Gibson, September 2019
Mr Troth August 2019

“The granary cottage was great and had everything we needed, would definitely consider returning next time with fishing rods to take advantage of the carp and catfish lakes 500 yards away !”

Glynis and martin were great, also had advice on good dog friendly places to eat, many thanks for a chilled week away with our pooches.

- Mr Troth, August 2019
Mrs Sharp July 2019

- Mrs Sharp, July 2019
Mr Whitham June 2019

“It is very dark so would suggest plug-in night lights for lounge and kitchen so steps can be easily seen”

- Mr Whitham, June 2019
Mrs Greenwood March 2019

“The cottage was very clean and tidy in a very quiet area plenty of places to visit within a short drive also some very nice walks would recommend especially if your looking for a very quiet getaway.”

The only reason we gave 3 for comfort was we found the sofa a little uncomfortable. Everything else was perfect, the bed was very comfortable. All in all a beautiful little cottage, would definitely revisit .

- Mrs Greenwood, March 2019
Mrs Harley October 2018

“We were looking for a week away from it all and that's exactly what we got.”

Wonderfully quiet and extremely comfortable. It's a great area for walking and equally suitable for catching up on some reading.

- Mrs Harley, October 2018
Mr Nothard September 2018

Cosy.

- Mr Nothard, September 2018
Mr Story September 2018

- Mrs Morgan, August 2018
Mr Henderson August 2018

“The cottage and the owners were perfect!”

Glenys and Martin were so welcoming yet not intrusive. The cottage was cosy as well as modern and comfortable. I would highly recommend Granary Cottage, Elton

- Mr Henderson, August 2018
Mrs Aveyard August 2018

“Granary cottage is ideally situated for visiting the attractions of the Forest of Dean.”

It is a lovely cottage located next door to the friendly and helpful owners. The kitchen is well equipped and there are a variety of other facilities (books, DVDs, CDs, jig saws etc.).

- Mrs Aveyard, August 2018
Mrs Gurdon August 2018

“Very comfortable and well equipped cottage with helpful but unobtrusive hosts.”

- Mrs Gurdon, August 2018
Mrs Ward July 2018

“Suited our needs perfectly.”

- Mrs Ward, July 2018
Mr Davis June 2018

“The Forest of Dean is a wonderful place to visit.”

Rather overlooked by most people in the rush to reach other areas it has much to offer those looking for a peaceful holiday. Walking is easy across way-marked fields and through mixed woodland with views across the river plains below. Granary Cottage is a perfect base for this with plenty of scope for walks. The weather was glorious throughout the entire week so we had little need to drive anywhere, but Gloucester, Ross-on-Wye and Chepstow are all in easy reach.

- Mr Davis, June 2018
Mrs Hitchen June 2018

“A lovely holiday with perfect weather!”

- Mrs Hitchen, June 2018
Mr Wigfield June 2018

“The owners were very helpful.”

the cottage was in a nice location for the forest of dean,wye valley and area round the river severn would go again

- Mr Wigfield, June 2018
Mr Jones June 2018

“Loverly cottage very comfortable.”

The owners could do something about the stairs leading from the kitchen to the living room very creaky was woken every time somebody went to the toilet during the night

- Mr Jones, June 2018
Miss Hughes May 2018

“The cottage was a good base for the forest of dean.”

- Miss Hughes, May 2018
Mrs Elliman July 2017

“The cottage is lovely and the owners are really nice and have thought of everything you might need, the location is a bit secluded which we liked.”

There is a carp lake within a couple of minutes walk so take your carp gear with you if you fancy fishing at a small lake. The area is great for dog walking with a quiet road and lots of fields but be aware of the livestock. The main road is busy and there is a bus stop with quite regular buses that will take you into Gloucester etc. The cottage is located in easy driving distance for The Forest of Dean and other attractions. We really enjoyed our stay.

- Mrs Elliman, July 2017
Mrs Mckenna May 2017

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

Owners really welcoming. The only reason we wouldn't book cottage again is that we would like pub/restaurant within walking distance. The closest was 1/2 hour walk away on a busy road. Pub close by had closed down.

- Mrs Mckenna, May 2017
Ms Freston July 2016

“This is a lovely welcoming comfortable cottage in a beautiful and interesting area.”

- Ms Freston, July 2016
Mr Maguire May 2016

The owners were very friendly and helpful. The cottage is in a beautiful secluded area, yet with easy access to the surrounding towns and villages,

About the location

NEWNHAM-ON-SEVERN

Gloucester 13 miles.

The thriving village of Newnham-on-Severn nestles on the banks of the River Severn. The village is steeped in history, and offers specialist shops to suit all interests, along with traditional pubs and cafes. This charming village, part of which is designated Conservation Area, has a tree-lined main street, many listed buildings, a striking central clock tower and is ideally located for watching the spectacular Severn Bore. The Royal Forest of Dean, England's largest oak forest, offers numerous trails that can be explored on foot, bicycle or horseback. Caving, abseiling and a high-wire rope course are on offer for the more adventurous, while fishing, golf, kayaking and canoeing are also available. Gloucester is just a short drive away, where you will find Roman foundations, Victorian docklands and a spectacular Norman cathedral (whose cloisters were used in the Harry Potter films). Littledean with its unique Jail Museum and Quadrophenia Collection, Westbury Court Garden, the only restored water garden in the country and the ancient caves and eerie caverns of Clearwell Caves (as seen in Dr Who and Merlin) make a great family day out. The ancient market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth have excellent shops, pubs and restaurants, plus many black and white timbered buildings, or visit the historic walled town of Chepstow with its celebrated race course and impressive Norman castle. A little further afield, discover the beautiful Malvern Hills, Black Mountains and Brecon Beacon National Park. A great location for a relaxing break or activity holiday at any time of year.
