Would highly recommend for anyone exploring the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean. The house is equipped with everything you need and everything is to a high standard, plus our lovely host Sarah provided a delightful welcome pack. Also very good communication from our host. The views from every window are fantastic, plus the little enclosed garden with the patio is private and perfect for relaxing on a warm evening.

Very quiet despite being near a main road. The living room/kitchen upstairs is spacious with wonderful views. Great for exploring Forest of Dean and the Wye valley. Highly recommended and would stay there again.

This is a real labour of love for the host, Sarah. She takes great pride in her presentation and welcome pack and the property was pristine. Beds are comfy and showers had a good amount of pressure. Very useful having a washing machine and full size iron and board too. Storage could be a problem if you bring large suitcases, but I use the large nylon laundry bags, so they are better for the car boot space and then roll up once unpacked. One week wasnât long enough as I couldâve stayed several weeks. Highly recommend the cottage as a base for the Forest of Dean. Thank you Sarah, you were a brilliant host!
