It is ideal for large groups and families, offering a comfortable stay with a well-equipped kitchen and luxurious touches. The surrounding area is peaceful, and the property is close to the Forest of Dean, adding to its appeal. Some guests suggested improvements in sofa bed quality and outdoor furniture, but overall experiences were positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Guests consistently noted the property as clean and well-maintained, with several reviews highlighting its tidiness and organised state. The cleanliness contributed positively to the overall experience.
The location is appreciated for its proximity to the Forest of Dean and the peaceful surroundings. However, some guests mentioned limited parking and a challenging entrance, slightly affecting the score.
The property is generally considered comfortable, especially the beds, but several guests were dissatisfied with the sofa beds and lounge furniture, suggesting they need an upgrade.
Facilities are well-regarded, particularly for large groups, with a well-equipped kitchen and a hot tub. However, some guests reported issues with amenities not being adequate for the group size, parking constraints, and maintenance needs at the entrance.

Absolutely ticked every box we could have wished for. The location and barns itself is simply perfect. The level of luxury provided in such rural beauty has to be seen to be believed. We have already shared the details with friends and family alike, and if we ever return to the area, it will be on our wish list again.

Lovely size. Great rooms. Beautiful - very relaxed.The sofa beds are not great though - we had 12 adults and one had to sleep on the sofa. I would suggest dividing upstairs to an additional bedroom and putting in two single beds. Great holiday had. 😄
