Beautiful comfortable and cosy accommodation, well equipped in a beautiful location. It was our base for The Cheltenham Racing Festival under an hour's drive away. We will return for a non racing visit to enjoy some walking and revisit a couple of lovely welcoming local pubs and the lovely town of Ross-on-Wye.

We've stayed in many cottage style holiday accommodations, this lodge is the best in many ways. The lodge itself is beautifully designed, with mezzanine style structure which gives a great sense of space. It is modern, clean and stylish, well equipped with attention to detail, quality and taste, From comfortable bed, towels to fresh flowers, plants and local goodies, you can feel the hospitality from the owner in all these details. The lodge is standing alone, with stunning far reaching views, the sense of tranquility is unbeatable. Local trail walks and May Hill where you can meet grazing horses are just around the corner. Easy drive to beautiful Forest of Dean walking/sightseeing spots and Wye Valley. This is a perfect location for us, no walking distance amenities available is not an issue at all. A peaceful home away from home, would love to go back. Truly five star, would highly recommend!
