Brookbank Folly is a highly praised, quirky and cosy cottage nestled in a tranquil and picturesque setting. Guests consistently laud its charm, warmth, and the welcoming nature of the hosts. The surrounding area offers scenic walks and wildlife, contributing to a peaceful retreat. While some guests mention limited mobile signal and Wi-Fi, the majority view this as an opportunity to disconnect and enjoy the surroundings.
Reviews frequently commend the cleanliness of the property, describing it as immaculate and well-maintained. The attention to detail by the owners ensures a tidy and comfortable environment for guests.
The location is celebrated for its seclusion, natural beauty, and proximity to the Forest of Dean. Guests appreciate the peaceful setting and the opportunity to explore the local area, though some note the single-lane access requires careful driving.
Comfort is a highlight, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the beds particularly comfortable. The warm welcome and the property's unique character contribute to a relaxing stay, despite a few comments about a weak shower.
The Folly is well-equipped with essentials and thoughtful touches, though some guests mention the absence of Wi-Fi and deep freeze facilities. The presence of a welcome pack is frequently appreciated, and the property is noted for its rustic appeal.
The hosts are praised for their thoughtfulness, including welcome packs that add a personal touch to the stay. While such gestures are warmly received, it is politely noted that these are not guaranteed for every visit.
This outstanding, bespoke, single-storey Gloucestershire holiday cottage is situated on the outskirts of the Gloucestershire village of Mitcheldean, on the edge of the magnificent Royal Forest of Dean. Lovingly hand built with timber from the forest itself, this delightful Gloucestershire holiday cottage offers warm and cosy accommodation, with a wealth of character features including beautiful beams, stained glass windows and wooden floors, which seamlessly combine with contemporary modern comforts. The spacious open plan living area in your Gloucestershire holiday cottage features a handmade kitchen, dining area and sitting area, which has the added benefit of a coal-effect electric fire and overlooks the pretty cottage garden; with a private patio area, the garden is a perfect place to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this unspoilt area. The forest offers many stunning walks and cycle routes, which can all be enjoyed from the doorstep of your Gloucestershire cottage. If you fancy a day trip, why not visit the historic waterfront city of Gloucester with its Victorian Docklands, magnificent Norman cathedral and bustling city centre boasting a superb range of shops, pubs and restaurants? A wonderful Gloucestershire cottage in an ideal location for discovering this beautiful part of the country.
Mitcheldean is a Gloucestershire village, close to the Royal Forest of Dean, with old timbered houses and narrow streets. The Forest of Dean is England's largest oak forest and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering walking, cycling and horseback trails, along with caving, abseiling and a high wire rope course. Fishing, canoeing and golf are also available in the area. The market town of Ross-on-Wye is close by, in Herefordshire, and offers a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, while a short drive away is the historic city of Gloucester, home to Victorian Docklands and a Norman Cathedral, the cloisters of which were used as a location in the Harry Potter films.
