  The views are breath taking.

  The owner is not intrusive and she's lovely. The pool is big and warm when the sun is out. Perfect for walks with the dog and large garden (bear in mind it is open). It is only a few miles from Gloucester so not too out of the way. Supermarkets and Gloucester Quay within 10 minutes. The rooms are spacious. A chest of drawers would be really helpful in the second double. We really did live out of the suitcase. The property description states there is a bath. There isn't. Not a major biggie but we only have a walk-in shower and was looking forward to it. The place does feel like it could do with a really good clean. Downstairs toilet seat is loose. The small fridge in the kitchen doesn't close properly as the seal has worn. I did advise the owner. But other people have mentioned it in the comments as well some time ago. The internet and phone signals are poor. Would I go back? Yes, but not in the high season, I don't feel the property reflects the price. However, if you don't care about the said issues, it is a beautiful area and the owner's friendliness really did make the holiday.

  Absolutely lovely cottage.

  On a working farm, but you would never know. We did not go prepared for swimming, but wish we had done so. The enclosed swimming pool was clean and relatively private. Mattress not to our liking, but still slept well. A cottage with character....including the squeaky floorboards up stairs. Extremely well kitted out. TWO fridges was a welcome bonus. Did not try the open log fire on this visit, however we did need the heating on for a short time in the evening(s). WIFI/internet great. Welcome tray with homemade wine & bickies, plus fresh milk in the kitchen fridge (big thank you). Whilst September did not bring the best of weather, it did not detract from a brilliant stay. A minor disappointment was the inability to benefit from the extensive views from the downstairs windows due to shrubs being overgrown plus the patio area was not prepared for use (although weather was terrible in any case). THANKS MRS REEVE (?) , you have a wonderful retreat and we recommend it to any one who wants a comfy secluded holiday.

  Beautiful comfortable cosy retreat.

  The hosts, Anne and Gary, were very welcoming and provided an excellent welcome pack complete with home-made lemon drizzle cake and fresh farm eggs. The large garden and surroundings were a very relaxing environment. We found the house easy to find as it is just a turning off the main A40 which gave easy access to Gloucester city where we visited the recently renovated docks which are well signposted "Gloucester Quay" and is a short walk from the cathedral and the city centrewith its historic buildings including the New Inn, Bakers the jewellers and Beatrice Potter museum. . There are many interesting small towns and villages to visit as well as the Forest Dean. which was magnificent with the autumn colours, which makes it an ideal base if you want to tour around. In addition the house is in its own very beautiful surroundings so is a peaceful retreat We had no problems with the broadband and found it quite adequate. We enjoyed our stay so much that we hope to return again in less uncertain times.

  What a delightful cottage!

  The photos don't do it justice. It's not just the cosy comfortableness of the place, but it's the happy, tranquil surroundings as well. Sitting at the dining table by the french windows, or outside at various seatings in the garden, one can't help but be transfixed by the wild birds addicted to the 2 feeding stations, the hen yard behind, the rabbits, the bantam roosters strutting their stuff. The extensive wild orchards were in beautiful blossom mode. Anne and Gary are generous with their invitation to enjoy their own lovely garden (in the Open Garden Scheme) and the lake, where we enjoyed the antics of the 6 new goslings, their parents promenading them around and about, and various ducks and geese. We saw wild deer in the orchard that housed the old ewe and the 2 new lambs. A range of good places to visit close by, but it was the sweetness of the return to such a lovely home from home that made our week away very special. We shall return!

  We stayed for four nights, but regretting not to extend our stay due to other commitment we have.

  The cottage, the swimming pool, the farm and the surrounding landscapes have exceeded our expectation and we loved everything about it. Our evening/morning walks and swims will be forever cherished. The landlord and her son lived next door to the cottage and they were beyond helpful in providing us what we need (if not found). The cottage also provided story books, table games and toys for the little ones, so time was always filled with activities and fun. Maybe I was lucky to have come in summer time, where the unheated pool always remain warm, even our little toddler enjoyed swimming there. The cottage is all about authentic traditional farm house, I loved it! but my daughter thought that a contemporary furniture would suit it more. The cottage is also close to the Gloucester Quay and its lively shopping mall, my favorite Forest of Dean where we went for cycling, laser combat and hikes.
