It is clean, cosy and comfortable. Ann, the owner is lovely. She left us tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits and a bottle of wine. Dovetail is a great base to explore the Forest of Dean. Yes there is a busy road close by so there is road noise but Ann makes this clear on her listing. But the views of open countryside are stunning and there are peaceful walks by accessing goose lane ( directly opposite the property). We are looking forward to returning.

The property was clean and provided us with all our needs over the week, the beds were comfortable, our only drawback was the accommodation is on a very busy main road,so at times getting out onto the road could be dangerous,

Could we suggest making the property entrance more visible especially in the dark such as having solar lights on the posts or reflective. It was a little dangerous pulling out of the driveway as the view of the bend of the road on which the property sits was obscured by parked vehicles, which I am sure is not something the owner can do anything about.
