  The property was excellent!

  We stayed for four nights as a couple. First impression: easy to locate, generous parking spaces, very clean outside and inside and tastefully furnished. The "welcome pack" (bread and milk) was a nice touch. Downstairs WC was handy. The house has been very thoughtfully equipped. And we had a peaceful stay - neighbouring properties were quiet and although the house is next to a road, it didn't disturb us much at night. It was our first visit to the Forest of Dean area and we had a delightful time - saw deer a few times and wild boar! We are definitely coming back and hope to stay in this property if available. The only downside - which is really down to the area - is the poor mobile phone coverage; we used 02 and Vodafone but there was very poor or no mobile phone and mobile internet reception in the Forest of Dean area. Not really a problem for us really as we enjoyed the peace and quiet and could use WhatsApp or Wifi calling for anything urgent :)

  A lovely, peaceful retreat- a total battery recharge The Loft Room was as lovely as depicted in the photos.

  It was cosy, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The rural view from the door was beautiful and we were lucky to witness some stunning sunsets accompanied by bird song. Although the Loft Room was next to the owner's beautiful thatched cottage, we had complete privacy but Caroline, the owner, was completely contactable. The location was excellent to explore many parts of the surrounding area, all with in a short drive. We spent our mornings wondering the Malvern Hills and walking around the local woods and countryside and visiting historic market towns and cathedral cities in the afternoons. Hereford, Tewkesbury, Gloucester and Ledbury to name a few. On the door step, we enjoyed walking around the Daffodil Way and finding out about the Dymock poets. We had a lovely evening and good food in the local community pub (The Beauchamp Arms) were we were made to feel very welcomed by the villagers.

  Will definitely be coming back.

  We wanted a base for a few days cycling in the Forest of Dean. The fountain lodge was just perfect. 6 min drive to the FOD cycle centre. Lockable and alarmed shed with bolted down anchors to lock your bikes to. Enough room for 3 to 4 bikes in the shed. The shed even had a light and 240v socket so you can charge your e-bike. The lodge was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you need. Reserved car parking for 2 cars right next to the lodge. Situated on the same site as the fountain inn which I highly recommend. We had a takeaway from the fountain inn one night and ate at the inn another evening. All our food was lovely. And they also serve a good selection of proper ale. All in all it was perfect. 10/10.

  We stayed at the house for 5 nights in early April.

  The positives: Great location for visiting the Wye Valley & Forest of Dean. Comfortable beds & nice shower (as you would expect in a new build property). Nice and warm. Good off street parking and a bike storage box. The not so positives: We had no idea that there would be planned construction work going on very close to the property, which started noisily at 7:30am (new houses being built). We would not have booked the property had we known, as we wanted a really relaxing time following a recent stressful event. I believe the listing has been updated now so that future guests are aware. Within the house, a few coat hooks downstairs and a proper wardrobe upstairs would be great.

  I have already told the owner that it would be unfair to write a review.

  The cottage was lovely BUT they did not mention a building site at the back of the property!!! From 7.45 in the morning they were doing groundworks to the plot. There were Lorrie’s coming and going and lots of machinery. The sounds of them and when they were reversing was enough to put anybody off. It would have been impossible to sit out I had to keep the door closed. Machines (two cement mixers) were parked right up to the back garden wall right outside the property. I do not think it was right that building works were not mentioned in your advert as obviously I would not have booked. Mrs D Rawcliffe
