“We enjoyed our short break in this impressively converted barn.”

It has all the home comforts anyone would need. The garden was great for our dog to run about. You are also free to walk around the extensive farm grounds. We would love to return in the future.

Mary February 2024

“A lovely base for us to explore the area.”

There were lots of lovely walks that we enjoyed despite the weather and the washing machine/tumble drier was indispensable. The cottage was warm and comfortable and the facilities were all we needed. We met the owners and had a look around their farm too. Would definately recommend.

- Mary, February 2024

Thank you for your lovely comments. We are very pleased you enjoyed exploring the area and didn't let the weather get the better of you. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

Claire December 2023

“We had a really lovely stay.”

The cottage is clean, warm and had everything we needed. There’s good separation between the living space and the bedrooms, which is ideal in the evening if you have young children sleeping. The views out onto the farm are lovely too, and we could hear an owl in the evening. The owner is quick to respond and really friendly.

- Claire, December 2023

Lynda September 2023

“Despite heavy rain we have had a wonderful 4 days at The Old Dairy.”

We drove out each day, enjoying time in Gloucester and a bit further into the Cotswold villages. The bedrooms and kitchen were a bit smaller than we are used to but overall the Old Dairy was warm and comfortable, well maintained, and equipped with everything we needed. Good TV and Internet reception. The grounds were perfect for our dogs. Plenty of space to run around and a pretty walk around the pond. The large garden area is shared with another property but this wasn't an issue. It would be ideal if a larger family or two groups wanted to be close to each other.

- Lynda, September 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time away at The Old Dairy and we hope that we can welcome you again one day in the future. Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Deborah August 2023

“Beautiful property, exactly as advertised, all the necessary equipment and facilities for a relaxing stay.”

Lovely, enclosed garden which was great for the kids and dogs. Beautiful lake, and walks from the door. Lots of wildlife. Good location for visiting the Forest of Dean and local attractions.

- Deborah, August 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. It's great to hear that you enjoyed your time away! We hope that we can welcome you back to this beautiful property and area one day soon! Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Stephen June 2023

“Clean and well equipped in a great location.”

Fabulous outside space including the secure garden. Our dog didn't want to leave! It is a shame that the double bedroom was cramped although we appreciate that the size of this bedroom is dictated by the structure and so there is nothing that can be done to improve this situation. We had a great stay - thank you.

- Stephen, June 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments. We are pleased that you and your dog enjoyed your stay. Best wishes HideAways Property Owner
Nina June 2023

“We all enjoyed this property BUT we and the neighbours next door all found instructions to the property wrong.”

We all felt that once you get to the village hall ....it should read 'go over the bridge and and on right large stained wood gates. drive close and they will open' We were all going around in circles for ages.

- Nina, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at The Old Dairy. It's lovely to hear how much you enjoyed the stay and thank you for the comment with regards to the directions, we will review this and make changes. Anything we can do to help guest's find a property, has to be a positive. We would love to welcome you back at some point in the future. Kind regards Hideaways. Property Owner

“The cottage was in a beautiful setting .”

The overall presentation was good but the beds and bedding needed some refreshment as there were stains on the duvets and pillows and the mattresses were a bit soggy. However we had a great weekend

Andrew April 2023

“Beautiful barn conversion, lovely scenic setting.”

Easy reach to Forest of Dean for great walks with dogs.Everything catered for,down to salt,pepper etc. so well equipped and clean. The grandchildren loved the games available and huge selection of dvds, which came in handy due to the weather. Thankyou for welcome pack. Highly recommended.

- Andrew, April 2023
Simon December 2022

“Perfect stay at the Old Dairy.”

Arrived in cold December to a warm and cosy cottage complete with Christmas tree and welcome bottle of wine. Thank you. Snowed in for a day but dug out by owner and the farmland around provided plenty of scope for dog walks. The woodlands around the Forest of Dean were lovely in the snow and very quiet. Catering was easy with local farm shop, Indian takeaway, chippy and pubs a short drive away.

- Simon, December 2022

Thank you for your positive feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope that the snow didn't cause you too much disruption. Best wishes, Hideaways Property Owner
Chris August 2022

“We had such a lovely time away staying in The Old Dairy.”

The setting is perfect being in such a peaceful remote location, but easy to access. It made a great location for exploring the nearby forest and villages with plenty to do nearby. The cottage itself was lovely and comfortable and had all that we needed for our stay. It felt very homely. We didn’t feel encroached on by the neighbouring cottage at all, although maybe we were lucky they were a very friendly family. We’ll definitely look to return here in future.

- Chris, August 2022

Thank you for taking the time to provide this lovely feedback. We're so glad you had a lovely stay and managed to make the most of the surrounding locations too. We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
Heidi August 2022

“We had an amazing time at The Old Dairy.”

Location was just perfect for what we wanted, with peaceful and beautiful surroundings. The Old Dairy was clean and comfortable with all the essentials for a relaxing holiday. The owners had left a bottle of wine, ice creams and toiletries for us which was a nice touch. Lovely enclosed area for our dog with electronic gates for that touch of elegance. Would definitely return.

- Heidi, August 2022

Thank you so much for providing this lovely feedback. We're delighted you (and your dog!) enjoyed your stay at The Old Dairy. We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
Paul July 2022

“Absolutely wonderful cottage, beautifully finished with everything you could need or want from bbq to iPod docks!”

Lovely quiet location with a great little lake beside it. Owners were really good and very helpful. All in all, one of the best Sykes rentals we’ve ever used! We’re already planning a return visit next year!

Alex January 2022

“What a beautiful place, we really enjoyed our stay.”

The only minor criticism is the description sort of implied there is a pub in walking distance, now either there isn’t or we didn’t find it. But there were some lovely ones a short drive away, so maybe some clarity there in the listing. Thanks for giving us a perfect few days away.

- Alex, January 2022

We ae thrilled to hear that you had a delightful time at The Old Dairy and enjoyed exploring the surrounding areas. We will pass on your comments regarding the local pub to the owners. Please do come again in the future! Property Owner

Ronald June 2021

“We booked this cottage after reading the reviews especially about how clean the cottage was.”

Unfortunately we found the cleanliness below what we expected, the oven did not appear to have been cleaned for some time as the racks and the inner trays had burnt on grease on them, there were several cobwebs in the bedrooms, the kettle needed a descale and there was no rinse aid or salt in the dishwasher. We were disappointed with the lack of room in the double bedroom and think this should have been mentioned in the write up of the cottage or a picture of the room at least so that we would have known. Unfortunately because the bed was pushed right up onto the wall this was not suitable for the older members of our party as this meant that 1 person had to climb over the other to get out of bed. The bathroom sink plug (push to close, push to open) was inoperable as it kept popping open and the kitchen tap was constantly dripping. As there are 2 cottages next to each other it should have been made clear when booking, or in the information book in the cottage, that each cottage has there own lawned area, unfortunately the people in the next cottage did not seem to realise this and played solely on our garden which was right outside our cottage. They also let their dog loose and did not always pick up after their dog, infact we ended up having to clean up after it before we could play on our lawn. We also had a dog but did not let him off the lead. I guess it’s just luck who has booked the cottage next door

- Ronald, June 2021
Philip October 2020

“The Old Dairy is in a great location, perfect spot to relax and unwind surrounded by pretty farm land, woodland and the lake.”

The cottage had everything we needed and the garden outside was great for children and the dog. Further afield there is lots to do and the nearby pubs all offer hearty food and a good selection of drinks including local options. Cottage was clean and tidy, with a powerful shower and all you need for a relaxing hidey hole or a base to explore the local countryside and forest.

- Philip, October 2020

We are pleased to hear you had everything you needed at The Old Dairy and you were able to make the most of the garden! Property Owner
Bryan August 2020

“We enjoyed the accommodation and surroundings.”

A walkers paradise. Having a young child with us, it was an added bonus having children in the adjacent cottage. The lake next to the cottages was peaceful. Fishing for an hour each evening rounded off the day nicely. Who cares if you don't catch? A pair of cormorants visited, and with the resident swans it added to the diverse nature.

- Bryan, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay at The Old Dairy. It's so lovely to hear your comments about your stay and we will pass them onto the owner. We hope to welcome you back again in the future with your family. Property Owner
Neil August 2020

“This place was a super find.”

The cottage was immaculate and suited our needs perfectly. Having two children and a dog the grounds were fantastic. My daughter even made a friend as another family were staying in the cottage next to us. It was a shame we were only staying for 3 nights. Pretty well located for all the activities we had planned at The Forrest of Dean. We will definitely think about going back in the future. The owners left a bottle of wine in the fridge and allowed us to check out late, as no one was arriving that day. Lovely touches that added to our great experience.

- Neil, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay at The Old Dairy. We always love to receive feedback from guests and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

“This simple cottage is warm and cosy and spotlessly clean.”

It’s very peaceful being set back from the road. The large enclosed garden is great for children and dogs. We enjoyed our lovely weekend break and would be happy to return.

Patricia September 2019

“As I have mobility issues, I often have problems with holiday homes but this one was perfect for me.”

Not that it had been adapted, it was just very easy to get my walker around it and no stairs! It had everything we needed inside and pleasant outside area, where we could sit and watch the farmer hitching equipment up to his tractor and squirrels burying acorns in the lawn. It had the best of both worlds, there were country walks from the barn and many lovely places to visit within the county. We have already recommended it to our friends with dogs.

- Patricia, September 2019
Alison September 2019

“Lovely comfortable cottage, peaceful location, good area for days out.”

On site lake to watch the swans and ducks. Excellent welcome pack.

Mrs Wrenn April 2019

“Lovely accommodation with all the facilities you need.”

In a great setting with a large pond you have access to walk around, as well their adjacent fields. Ideal for a family of four with dog. Great location for visiting local sights within the forest and outside. Lovely owners who are on hand if you need any help. They also have a great welcome book with all the local info you need.

- Mrs Wrenn, April 2019
Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“We came down for half term week and had a really lovely holiday.”

OK - so the weather was fine and the family that stayed in the other property were very nice, but the accommodation played a big part too. The Old Diary was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, with TVs in each room and wi-fi access (for teenagers obsessed with such things). The surroundings are idyllic - plenty for fishing enthusiasts (try the little streams on the property for lots of wild brown trout). Owners both helpful and friendly. Wider recommendations - Cinderford for a decent Co-op / Papparitos in Cheltenham for fab food at a ridiculously cheap price / local pub in Blaisdon (25 min walk) is nice (mixed views on food though).

“Just spent another week in this beautiful cottage which is situated in a tranquil location.”

The property has a gated entrance and is surrounded by fields and a lake. It is very safe for young children and a perfect place to take a dog.\ On arrival there is an excellent welcome pack and the cottage is spotlessly clean. It is very well equipped making it seem home-from-home. There are televisions in both bedrooms and the lounge. Plenty of room to put food in the fridge and the freezer. Also very useful having a dishwasher and a washer drying machine. Outside are places to sit and relax. We enjoyed having a BBQ.\ This location is ideal for visiting the beautiful Forest of Dean and to get further afield to places like Ross-on-Wye and Chepstow. There is always a warm welcome at The Red Hart pub at Blaisdon. The food is very good and dogs are welcome in the bar area if you want to eat. Can also recommend the fish and chip shop at Littledean. Also found the Severn and Wye Smokery at Claxhill has a wonderful deli and fresh fish counter.\ There is so much to see and do in this area that you are spoilt for choice. Our dog has enjoyed long walks and our Grandson loved toddling over from the cottage to the field so that he could stroke the cows.\ This is our second visit to The Old Dairy and we all enjoyed it once again. Thank you to Ben and Sally for another lovely week.

“We had a fabulous time in Flaxley.”

The cottage was first class and the owners were extremely helpful too. The setting is idyllic; we can thoroughly recommend it for a relaxing break.\ The weather was lovely which always helps; we tried canoeing on the Wye and mountain biking in the Forest; we probably enjoyed Monmouth most of the places we visited. If you are into fishing, as well as the trout lake there are loads of little brown trout in the stream that runs through the property. Highly recommended!

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“This converted dairy is a real find.”

Set in a very quiet hamlet, next to a beautiful lake and very near all the major Forest of Dean attractions, it makes the perfect getaway. The cottage is comfortable and really well-equipped with televisions in both bedrooms as well as the lounge (should you have time to watch them!). It is also within an easy drive of Gloucester, Chepstow, Monmouth, etc. in case the weather is wet, and the lovely Symonds Yat, Newnham on Severn, the Wye and the Severn. Great for birdwatching, cycling, outdoor pursuits and cycling - a great base for a holiday in Forest of Dean. The owners - Ben and Kelly - run the farm next door and are extremely helpful. The welcome pack is a great idea and all the supermarket delivery companies will deliver and know the address.

“My hubby and I enjoyed a very lovely half-term week at this delightful cottage with my mum-in-law and aunt-in-law and our puppy Chloe.”

The cottage was very warm, cosy and well-equipped. We loved the fact that we drove through private gates to get to the cottages and we were surrounded by farmland and yet near lots of nice villages. The cottage owners were extremely helpful and welcoming and the cottage was absolutely spotless and well decorated. They provided a very useful welcome pack and tea, coffee and useful items such as a few dishwasher tablets were provided too. The bedrooms weren't huge but they were nicely furnished and the bed was very comfortable. There was a nice, large enclosed garden area, ideal for dogs, and we were invited to enjoy the farmland and the lake in the next field - we only did this a couple of times due to the time of year we visited but I can imagine it would be fantastic to visit in summer. The cottage was in the pretty village of Flaxley and ideally situated for visiting the Forest of Dean, parts of Wales and if you wanted to go a bit further, the Cotswolds.
