Rob was a very professional and courteous host. The cottage is well laid out and incredibly relaxing. The lake view from the front of the property was memorable, and the peace and quiet allowed us to get some much-needed sleep given the number of activities in the area. The Forest of Dean is less than an hour away, and with places like Tintern Abbey not much further, there is something for everyone from this base. We enjoyed an amazing curry at the RoadMaker Inn, just a few minutes' drive down the road. It's a Nepalese restaurant operated by ex-Gurkhas, and the food was incredibly tasty. For my wife's birthday, we dined at the Moody Cow and must say their food was incredible. The right amount of tang in the right places made it an enjoyable evening. If you're looking for a relaxing base to visit the local area, you will not be disappointed staying here.
