“We stayed at Ingleside over a weekend in late March.”

Mr Tonks was extremely helpful and accommodating, both in advance and throughout our stay. The house and gardens are immaculate, and perfect for a large group to enjoy some time away in a beautiful environment.

Mr Tonks was extremely helpful and accommodating, both in advance and throughout our stay. The house and gardens are immaculate, and perfect for a large group to enjoy some time away in a beautiful environment. The facilities within the house are excellent, and ample, and the drive is large enough to fit around 6 or 7 vehicles. I would highly recommend the house and host to anyone wishing a relaxing countryside trip away.

“The single beds were were not suitable for adult use.”

I will not book anything with Sykes again unless the size of beds is specified. I am sure that people travelling with children would have been OK. Everything else was very good but comfort of sleeping is paramount. We were also disappointed that the Sky box had been removed although this is still advertised. ------------------ Many thanks for your valuable feedback, we are very disappointed that one of our properties has seemingly let us down and not provided you with the experienced that we had hoped for. We will be contacting the owner of this property shortly regarding the points you have raised.

“We were a family of twelve celebrating an 80th birthday and the house fully met our expectations.”

There were sufficient rooms to accommodate us and the lounge and dining rooms were just the right size. The mini sitting rooms were also ideal for small groups to gather. The table tennis was a welcome additional attraction despite the cold weather but we were unable to get the temperature of the hot tub sufficiently high to tempt us to enter the water. Overall we had a great three days at the cottage and were very pleased to have attended a two hour lesson at the relatively close Harts Barn Cookery School where we prepared our Saturday evening celebratory meal which we then transported back to the cottage. We would also recommend the Red Hart for Sunday lunch after an invigorating walk in the nearby woods. Two suggestions for minor improvements: A scouring brush in the kitchen to assist in the cleaning of pots and pans ans the labelling of the outside bins for recycling purposes

“Absolutely lovely lodge with all the facilities you could want.”

It's a shame we didn't stay longer!

- Miss Nicholls, January 2019
“Lovely stay over the new years period for my family and I.”

The property was pleasantly decorated with Christmas decor which was a nice touch. We very much enjoyed the stay and the kitchen/facilities provided were more than ample for a family our size. A couple of things to note, we did struggle to get the fire lit even with the aid of kindling wood and firelighters along with the logs provided. And in the evenings it did get quite chilly however we were unable to locate the thermostat/control for the central heating which was a shame. If I were to visit again I would like to see slightly brighter lighting and perhaps more mirrors for the ladies to get ready. Otherwise would certainly recommend.

- Mr Patel, December 2018
“Beautiful location and nearby restaurants.”

Added bonus two adjustamatic beds and large paddock for the children to play in. Very highly recommended.

- Dr Sergeant, August 2018
“The house was very comfortable and there was plenty of room and facilities for 14.”

We had a very enjoyable few days. There were a couple of relatively minor niggles. The two fridges and two freezers were absolutely necessary for 14 people, but one dishwasher was very inadequate, especially as the soap dispenser was broken and the owner did not seem concerned. Also the lighting in many rooms, especially the bathrooms was very poor. But overall it was an excellent property.

- Mrs Lever, July 2018
“We enjoyed our family holiday at inleside cottage, would go back again, lovely outside grounds for our two kids to have a run around and play while we relaxed with a drink or two.”

- Mrs Lucas, July 2018
“A great house for a large group.”

Very clean, good bedroom/bathroom ratio, good showers, convenient downstairs bedroom & shower. Lovely gardens with plenty of outside seating, with and without shade, including table tennis & pool table, although no lighting in this area. We were visiting mid June so were able to play well into the evening. The 'hot tub' was not as we expected, it is an inflatable 'lazy spa' without seating, however we didn't get to use this. Plenty of indoor seating/relaxing space in the lounge, dining room and snug/conservatory to enjoy some quiet time. Plenty of parking, quiet and rural but close enough to Gloucester/Ross/Symonds Yat for visits. Would highly recommend the deli at Severn & Wye Smokery nearby.

- Mrs Synnott, June 2018
“Ingleside is an extremely comfortable, spacious house with a glorious, well tended garden and lots of outdoor seating areas.”

It has a very good vibe - one toddler who does not settle in unfamiliar surroundings was perfectly happy straight away! The house is excellently appointed with plenty of crockery and utensils to cater for a house full. The landlord was helpful and pleasant as well. All in all we enjoyed a brilliant weekend and would certainly recommend the property to others visiting the area.

- Miss Puddy, June 2018
“Had a fabulous three days at Ingleside.”

Made to feel very welcome. The house was very clean, comfortable and spacious. We are a family of 15 with 8 adults and 7 grandchildren. The children’s ages are ranging from 9 years old to 11 months. The house was certainly adequate to accommodate all of us, and still find a place for a little quiet time! The facilities were excellent. The garden was very well maintained. There is a paddock at the back where the children (and adults) could play ball games. The hot tub was great and used quite a lot. Certainly worth another visit to Ingleside.

- Mrs Buckby, May 2018
“Ideal spacious house, gardens and grounds for family or friends to meet for special occassions”

Ingleside is a very spacious, clean, well maintained and well-equipped house in a beautiful part of England which provides ample comfortable accommodation for large parties . The outdoor areas are outstanding. The gardens are immaculate, beautifully planted and a joy to sit in. There is a covered outdoor seating area which catches the morning sun and looks out onto the paddock- a large, safe, closely -mown area which our children loved having the freedom to play games in. There is also a very sheltered south-facing seating area which leads to a side garden with spacious BBQ. Finally, there is a large carport, housing the table tennis table and pool table. We found the space inside and out, provided the perfect venue for a mixed party of adults and children.

“It was rented for a special occasion and we were all disappointed.”

Some of amenities listed as available were not correct (eg no DVD player, no dvd’s, no games, no tip on pool que), all listed on you website. Barbecue had not been cleaned and lawns not cut!!! Overall the house we felt needed a thorough clean and is very tired, in need of new mattress’s! ****Owner response**** We were disappointed with this feedback as we work hard to ensure every customer has a great experience. We do have a DVD player & DVD's and was surprised to read this feedback, however we will ensure that this is put in a more prominent position. The lawn's were cut the day prior to arrival, however as the weather has been warmer recently this could have meant that the grass has grown fairly quickly, they were also cut during the customer's stay.

“We had a great time in the holiday home ‘would love to go back if the opportunity arose .”

We celebrated our golden wedding anniversary with all our children and grandchildren.there was ample space and we weren’t on top of each other.the hot tub was used even though the weather was rather cold but it was February.it would be great in the summer. The area was really nice and we visited the Forest of Dean.couldnt have been better.

- Mr Robinson, February 2018
“Very spacious property, good seating areas for a large group.”

We had 11 people booked in for a weekend (Fri - Sun) in February. Never felt cramped, even managed a BBQ outside, where there was a covered seating area to sit in. Out of the way place, on single track road, but close enough to local amenities, so was not inconvenient. Would highly recommend, will be staying again in the future hopefully!

“Fabulous Family New Year Break!”

Just back from a fabulous five night stay over New Year. Finding a place for 7 adults, 2 four year olds, a 2 year old and one year old twins is never easy but we found it! Very safe for the kids, lovely clean rooms, warm and really spacious house with great amenities. We've done a few of these over the years and one of the biggest hassles is poor wifi - not the case here as it was very solid and gave the dads some peace from the kids ...We could stream the football and darts with no problems! Steve is very friendly and helpful and we would all strongly recommend.

“The owner of the cottage who lived nearby came to explain how the hot tub worked and also when we telephoned him with a query.”

“Excellent stay - Lovely House”

10 lads stayed here for my 30th birthday and stag do over the Cheltenham festival week. We had plenty of space for everything and was a great 4 nights spent there. Hot tub and BBQ were used an thoroughly enjoyed by all. Steve and his housekeepers do a great job of keeping the place clean and tidy. We had one problem with the shower unit breaking (but that's no ones fault things break from time to time). What was amazing was the fact that the owner replaced the faulty shower the same day. not been anywhere before that has done something like this so can't thank him enough for that. At the end of the day we have all enjoyed ourselves 110% and would be certain recommend to book this lovely house. We have already been talking about returning for the festival, or even as a family retreat. Thank you again

- Andrew H, March 2017
“All round top notch!”

A group of 10 guys ranging from the age of 24 through to 60s stayed here for a week during the Cheltenham festival as part of a 30th/stag celebrations. The hospitality was great and the building is perfect with plenty of room. The only downfall was the lack of connectivity for the younger end as the WiFi is not yet connected. This however we were told is to be installed in the next few weeks. A big risk some would say letting a stag doo stay here but you Everybody was respectful of the building and contents. Thanks again for everything and hopefully we will back back in the next few years

- Michael D, March 2017
“Family weekend”

There were 6 adults and 5 children ranging from 5 years to 13 years. Plenty of room and very comfortable. The gardens are wonderful and well looked after. The hot tub was great for all. Would have liked to spend longer exploring the Forest of Dean so will definately have another visit and wouldn't hesitate to book Ingleside again.

- Kevin T, August 2016
“The perfect location for a family get together!”

Booked Ingleside for my 50th Birthday as it was ideally located between Yorkshire and Cornwall for my family to all get together. The house is fantastic for a large group - there are enough seating areas that a large party can separate off into groups and the dining room is perfect for everyone to come together for family meals. The garden is absolutely beautiful - so peaceful. The wisteria is gorgeous and my parents were thrilled that the garden was visited each day by a spotted woodpecker. The house is centrally located for visiting Gloucester, Hay on Wye and ideal for the Forest of Dean. We were blessed by good weather and spent 3 evenings of our visit eating in the garden - there is ample outdoor furniture and a barbecue which my nephews put to good use, cooking up a storm! The hot tub great fun too. We had four cars and parking was no problem and we could have had another one parked easily as well. Whilst the house and the location were wonderful what really made it for us was the wonderful welcome from the owner. I rang him before we arrived to ask for recommendations of places to eat locally and explained that the visit was for my 50th Birthday. He called round the evening we arrived just to check everything was OK and to show me how the hot tub worked and was friendly and welcoming, whilst he lives next door his presence is not in the least intrusive. I was so touched by the fact that on the evening of my birthday his partner called round with a bottle of prosecco and a birthday card - a lovely gesture which was really appreciated. All in all a fabulous stay and I would happily recommend Ingleside.

“A lovely, comfortable, fully equipped and well situated cottage.”

We had an amazing time staying at Ingleside. The bedrooms are clean and well furnished with lovely views. There are very spacious living areas including a large dining area that could seat up to 14, an open plan kitchen perfect for a party and a big lounge ideal for games and family gatherings. The hot tub is super, especially in the late afternoon as the sun is going down. We had a bbq in the garden and played lawn games in the field. The ping-pong table was particularly popular on our visit. My only negative point is that there is no Internet connection in the property. The phone signal is patchy so getting 3G is tricky :( The cottage is very well situated, as it is very easy to visit all of the local activities. (Nearby walks along the River Severn, water activities such as canoeing on the River Wye, the stunning Forest of Dean, a crazy golf course, the beautiful water gardens and much more!) I would recommend the Red Lion pub, which is just around the corner for excellent pub grub! The owner was particularly helpful and friendly. We felt very looked after. I would definitely like to return for another visit!

“Fantastic family holiday home”

Great location in the countryside,handy for local pub and meals. Hot tub , table tennis and large garden made it ideal for our Family. The house is well equipped and to a very high standard. All rooms first class. Steve the owner was available for any questions, but was not obtrusive. This is a great holiday let and we will definitely use again.

- Ryker5, July 2015
“Perfect Getaway”

Location was idyllic, peaceful and perfect for a group looking for relaxation. The house was immaculate with more than enough room for a group of 13 women. Owner was very welcoming and accommodatiing to our requirements. Enjoyed are stay very much and would highly recommend.

- Claire S, April 2015
“An enjoyable weekend”

We had an enjoyable weekend at Ingleside. The cottage was in very good condition with ample facilities. We would go back again. Thank you.

- Dan T, December 2014
“Perfect Family Retreat”

Ingleside is a house that accommodated our extended family perfectly. The house is well appointed with sizeable gardens for children both young and old who aged in range from 9 to 21! Table tennis kept the children happy and hot tub kept adults even happier! If you are looking for a venue for a relaxing holiday or place to host a celebratory gathering, look no further. Looking forward to visiting again.

- MillseyM, November 2014
“Terrific short stay in this comfortable house”

We were a group of 14 looking for a house that could fit us all comfortably, and Ingleside ticked all the boxes. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for us all, a good-sized kitchen, spacious dining room and several different places to sit and chat, so we weren't falling over each other at any time (there are 3 different seating areas in the house. ) One twin bedroom is downstairs with the remaining bedrooms up one flight. The hot tub proved popular, as did the games area with ping pong table. There is a good sized private garden, with plenty of tables and chairs -- the garden faces a fenced paddock which one can access through a gate. The owner was very helpful and friendly, showing us the best spots for afternoon sunshine, recommending where to get a good pub dinner, explaining all about the hot tub (which he pops by to service every couple of days.) We really felt he wanted us to have a great time at Ingleside. Gloucester is about 15 mins away, as is a huge supermarket , the Forest of Dean nearby, and yet one feels really private here in this small hamlet. We would stay here again, which is the best sign of our having had a good time.

About the location

ADSETT

Forest of Dean 2 miles; Gloucester 9 miles; Ross-on-Wye 13 miles.

The little hamlet of Adsett is very well situated, just one mile from the village of Westbury-on-Severn offering a Post Office, a traditional pub serving real ale and good food and the National Trust property of Westbury Court Garden, a 17th century Dutch Water Garden.

Also close by is the magnificent Royal Forest of Dean, England's largest oak forest and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering 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, whilst fishing, golf, kayaking and canoeing are other popular activities in this unspoilt area.

Just a short drive away, in the historic waterfront city of Gloucester, you will find Roman foundations, Victorian Docklands and a spectacular Norman Cathedral (whose cloisters were used as a location in the Harry Potter films).

A little further afield, visit the historic market town of Ross-on-Wye, with timbered Tudor houses and excellent shops, pubs and restaurants, in the heart of rural Herefordshire.

The Severn Estuary, famous for its tidal bore, is a delight for bird watchers, wildlife enthusiasts and bore surfers alike.

This unspoilt area has something to offer at any time of the year..
