"A lovely place to stay in a very good location. Elaine and Tony were very helpful in sharing ideas for routes for walking our dog. Elaine baked lots of delicious treats for us to enjoy when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked with paper towels, cling film, foil, salt pepper etc."

Tip:
"The Dean Forest railway is dog friendly. We enjoyed going to theIr Diesel Gala
Lots of dog walking including the sculpture trail from Beechenhurst Lodge.
Symonds Yat also has plenty of walks a well as watching for Peregrine Falcons. Mallards Pike also has lots of walks and both places have good cafes serving great coffee with a dairy free option. "

Would Recommend: Yes

"Tony and Elaine were fantastic hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them. Elaine even baked a gluten free cake for our daughter and that meant such a lot to her.
We have been coming to the Forest of Dean for 10 years and this was our best holiday - accommodation, location and hosts were fantastic and we hope to return soon."

Tip:
"We had some excellent value for money meals in Kaplan's in Coleford and some great Indian meals in Cinnamons, also in Coleford.

We really enjoyed visiting Nagshead RSPB reserve in Parkend too, the oak trees are magnificent and it's a good place to see deer, wild boar and the occasional hawfinch."

Would Recommend: Yes

"This is our third visit, we return because both cottages are very comfortable and great value for money. Tony and Elaine are the most considerate and helpful of hosts. It is particularly important that we feel very happy to bring our dog here, all three of us are made to feel most welcome. We love wildlife and this area has it in abundance, even in the grounds themselves. We are always sad to leave but we will be back because it is a great place. "

Tip:
"We found the Woodman the best place to eat, the food is of reasonable quality and the choice good but the portions tend to be small and prices quite expensive. both pubs are very friendly, and the staff most polite and welcoming. The village shop is a godsend and the café next door offers an excellent breakfast that is excellent value with excellent service. Coleford is a good shopping centre. Locally the walks are easy and most enjoyable."

Would Recommend: Yes
