Perivale lodge is the most amazing place to stay, you have access to amazing gardens and paddock. Also you have direct access to the forest. It is a dogs paradise and if you are lucky you will spot deer or wild boar on the other side of the fence. The accomodation is spotless with an amazing boot room. Also outdoor washing facilities for our 4 legged friends, warm too.The hosts are close at hand if required and are really helpful. You have the steam trains across the road and plenty of places to visit. We love it and will keep visiting

We had a wonderful holiday. Debbie and Rich went above and beyond to make our time there special. So many amazing forest walks to be had straight from the beautiful garden. Loads to do in the area. We'd love to go back.

Perivale Lodge is one of the best properties I have stayed in. Great location, adjacent to the Dean Forest Railway, just a two minute walk away and a short drive to other local attractions. BBQ and fire pit for relaxing outside in the private garden, unfortunately the weather was a little mixed for us to enjoy them.
