We had a most comfortable stay at Paradise for my husband's 75th birthday celebrations. The parking out front was enough for us to get 4 cars parked facing the house without overhanging the road, which was fine. There are 3 downstairs bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms which were great for those with babies and younger children. Plus a further 3 huge luxury bedrooms upstairs, all with large en-suites and two with four poster beds and lovely old fashioned quirky furniture. The weather was great until the day before we left, and after a day out in the Forest of Dean, the hot tub was a great way to wind down. It was pleasant sitting out the front watching the sun go down and there was plenty of room for 9 adults and 3 children. Weston Super Mare is great for a beach day out, also the Cotswolds Country Park & Beach was a fun day out. We cooked breakfast most mornings and there is plenty of seating for everyone at a huge dining table or perched on a stool at the kitchen island. Kitchen facilities are very good, plenty of equipment, even a modern airfryer. Huge larder fridge, but only a 3 drawer freezer so initially, dont buy too much frozen stuff as space is limited ! Everyone enjoyed their stay at Paradise, the owner lives next door, but never bothered us and allowed us to just get on and have a great family time.

We had a great time staying at Paradise. Plenty of room for the 11 of us. Everything you needed to ensure a good holiday. Extremely friendly owners. We all were very sad to leave. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area

Extremely impressive property, well maintained and equipped, spacious and comfortable. The rear was somewhat smaller than usual, but the hot tub more than made up for that.The view from the decking was spectacular, particularly at night, beautiful sunsets. We are not a group that normally returns, but move on, maybe make an exception .
