Beulah Cottage

A really great cottage in a quiet woodland location.

A very lovely place to stay, with a lot of space.

Good equipment in the kitchen. Nice and clean. A lot of toys and entertainment for small people. Very quiet place, would recommend!

We had a lovely stay at Beulah Cottage over Christmas.

The cottage was clean and welcoming when we arrived - with wine, cookies and dog biscuits! The spot the cottage is in is quiet with almost no traffic and forest walks from the door without starting the car. The garden is extensive and the log burner worked really well. The equipment in the kitchen and the dresser was ample for our Christmas lunch and our hosts were able to tell us about specific things that we should bring (e.g. an electric whisk).

There was a group of 5 adults and 2 children staying at the cottage for 3 nights.

What a lovely location, coming through the forest and finding this gorgeous place. Very quiet and just a small number of houses nearby. We had 3 cars and 2 could park on the drive and 1 by the wall at the front of the cottage. There was cider and home made biscuits on arrival which was a lovely surprise. Everything we needed was there, although we didn't find the toys in the lounge cupboard until we were just about to leave! Property was really clean and well equipped. I had some queries over the weekend and the owner responded very quickly to my messages, which was great. There is a lovely walk to St Anthony's Well from the property. We also had great fun playing hide and seek in the huge garden. We heard owls and other wildlife at night, which was great fun.

We all had a great stay here, Beulah is a beautiful cottage.

It was comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing break.

We had a lovely time thank you, we were 4 girls who met at college 43 years ago, catching up, and your home was perfect.

Thanks

Fantastic cottage and garden in a lovely location:)

beautiful and peaceful setting, the cottage had everything we needed, it was clean and comfortable.

Lots of information about the cottage and local areas and a good selection of games for everyone

We are a family of 6 adults who stayed at Beulah Cottage for 5 nights.

We all much enjoyed our stay and all felt that it is a place with significant character. The living areas are spacious, the house has substantial grounds and is set in a beautiful location in the Forest of Dean. Whilst many of the fixtures and fittings are perhaps a bit dated, they complement or add to the character of the place. The owner makes you very welcome and is happy to sort out any problems. We would definitely stay here again.

this cottage was exactly what we booked.

we looked for a cottage in the forest of dean with loads of character .and this cottage had that in buckets .beautiful place comfortable plenty space awsome location

Lovely place for a family retreat, with gorgeous garden space.

House was clean and had all the right essentials for 6-8 people to stay at. Lots to do close by which was a bonus.

The property was nice but a bit tired and dated.

The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had a good supply of cooking equipment. The TV instructions were a bit confusing until we worked out the correct selection was HDM2 not HDM1 as suggested in the information manual. The weather was lovely when we where there so some comfortable chairs for the garden would have been nice. The location was lovely and we did some nice walks in the area.

We really enjoyed our stay at beautiful Beulah cottage.

The location is wonderful with stunning views of the forest and surrounding countryside from the lovely garden. The area is beautiful and we enjoyed great walks from the cottage and some lovely days out. The cottage is very cosy and well equipped and the children loved the games room, toys and rope swing in the garden. Thank you for a lovely stay. We would definitely like to return.

The 2nd visit this year was as lovely as the first and I brought 2 of my grown up children with me this time and they thought the cottage was amazing too.

The cottage has a lovely homely feeling and the beds are so comfortable. I think the only let downs are the lack of attention to detail in the cleaning and the tired sofas which are very low to the ground. We found lots of things such as toys and paper had been missed during cleaning and I had to physically clean out the bottom of the dishwasher because it had lots of orange food left in the bottom of it. Also we found a lot of cutlery and some of the pans were greasy so we had to wash them thoroughly before we could use them. Overall, I adore this place and if the small oversights were attended to I feel it a perfect retreat and I would definitely go back for a 3rd stay.

We absolutely loved this property and its beautiful location.

Absolutely spotlessly clean and so much character. The owners have clearly put a lot of love into the place and the garden is immaculate too. Would we stay here again - absolutely!

Very comfortable and clean accommodation.

Plenty of room for our party of 7. The toilets sometimes proved a challenge but was manageable. The shortbread biscuits and cider left for us were very appreciated and soon disappeared.

Not enough tea towels.

The yard outside the back door needs treating it was very slippery. Sofas are past their sell by date, so uncomfortable. Overall though we loved the cottage and enjoyed our stay.

A beautiful cottage - we really enjoyed staying there

Had a really lovely stay.

Cottage very comfortable, cosy, spacious, with a beautiful garden. Just a few of observations. Garden gate leading up to the top of the garden has to be lifted up to be able to open/close it. Some people may find this awkward. Also, the bench up there is broken - lovely spot to sit so could do with repair/replacing. I did have to clear up other people's dog mess on the bottom patio area near the kitchen window as didn't want anyone thinking that was mine - it had clearly been used as a toilet area for one particular dog - the odd poo is acceptable to miss but there were at least 6 very large clearly visible poops which gives the rest of us dog owners a bad name and risks properties not allowing dogs. Presume cleaners understandably wont clear up for next guest as it's not pleasant. Anyway, totally recommend the cottage - the cider and dog treats were a nice touch thank you and would stay again if in the area :)

We couldn't have found a more perfect cottage.

Quiet, restful and close to lovely places to visit. Special walks, exceptional beautiful garden with secret spaces to relax or play.

We all enjoyed a wonderful week here.

It was so peaceful and the weather that we had helped us enjoy the very large and well kept gardens. The house inside is beautiful and characterful with everything that we needed available for a very comfortable stay. Apart from some cobwebs in the lounge area and some areas that looked like mould very low down,for example a corner of the dining room the cottage was very well presented and I hope to return again soon. Highly recommended. Thank you Allan and Jo for such a lovely holiday there.

We had a really lovely stay and would definitely recommend to others.

Such a beautiful location and would love to go back one day!

Lovely stay would definitely recommend this property to get away

This wonderful cottage was cosy and practical in a lovely quiet location.

Ample parking. Perfect for 2 young grandchildren and a dog, as well as the adults. Great communication before arriving. We arrived to find welcome gifts, flowers in the room and a handwritten note with suggestions to visit the bluebell woods, which sadly we didn't have time to do. A huge garden and very handy location. We visited to the Sculpture trail and Goodrich castle.

Absolutely fabulous cottage.

My friends and I had an amazing time. All the facilities you could need. Close to some great places. Wonderful garden. Peaceful village setting. Definitely a place to go to reset and relax.

Not enough comfortable chairs in living room.

Though wood was a bit dear for fire. But saying that everything else was good. Bed were comfortable. Cottage was only just warm enough with the heating on.

This property has some nice authentic features like the log burners and beamed ceiling in a really nice location.

It is well equipped with comfortable beds and hot water always available. However there were maintenance issues that we were not happy about. The fact there are no photos of the kitchen is a red flag and this is probably due to the sink issue. The wooden worktop which surrounds the inside of the butler style sink was black and really looked quite disgusting. The owner provided a lengthy account of how difficult it is to keep it treated with special products as it’s too expensive to replace, clearly this is a big problem. I will add photos on Tripadvisor. There is a cracked window in the largest bedroom, again the owner is aware but has no plans to replace or fix it. Smaller issues could easily have been resolved if the property was checked properly before changeover - a new lightbulb needed in the bathroom and as we paid a large premium to stay at Christmas, which I checked would be decorated in advance I did expect the tree lights to work. Some small changes would make a big difference, like investing in new towels as we were provided with very worn, small bath towels.

We had a most enjoyable family weekend (nine including grandchildren) in the heart of the forest, and the cold dark nights were heartened by an excellent log fire to keep us all warm and cosy.

The cottage is exactly as described and what we had expected, and the age of the building and the layout all added to the atmosphere. On Sunday afternoon, 11 members of the local Baptist congregation gathered for their Sunday service in the 1877 chapel opposite and the hymn singing to a pipe organ created a wonderful background to the area as it might have been in the days of the coal mining community of about 150 years ago, and evident throughout the Forest of Dean

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting and we had the most enjoyable week.

The beds very comfy and all rooms nicely decorated with amazing paintings everywhere. The bathrooms although completely adequate could do with updating. The garden furniture not really sufficient for more than four people and not in good condition and the barbeque was extremely rickety. All that said, we had a great time and would go back.

Beautifully decorated and furnished and very well equipped.

Well situated to tour the Forest of Dean and wonderfully peaceful and attractive situation.

All round lovely place.

Thank you. Enjoyed the paintings but forgot to take down details of sales website. Only issue is upstairs loo which blocked twice, dealt with quite easily though. On the whole, would like to return to continue exploring the surrounding environs, didn't go down the mine or actually take a dip in St Anthonys' Well. Would like to see more sculpture trail, curtailed because of time, but we did see a family of wild Boar! So much more to explore.

This was a a great cottage for a larger family or group.

Peaceful, quiet village but only 5 minutes drive to Littledean and 10 minutes to Cinderford. The cottage gave us the chance to stay under one roof with our children and grandchildren and now have all gained some special memories of this time together. The cottage had all the facilities to make the stay special including a large dinning table that comfortably sat all 7 of us. The games room was well used as well as relaxing and playing in the extensive beautiful gardens. Plenty of great places and attractions to visit nearby.

Lovely cottage with beautiful garden.

Very quiet location brilliant holiday.

While the seating for six people in the lounge area was sufficient, there would not have been enough comfortable seating for eight.

There was an issue with the flushing mechanism for the upstairs toilet, but we soon found the 'knack' for operating it. The website description of outdoor facilities ought to be updated to say the the barbecue requires charcoal. Overall, we were very pleased with the property in its tranquil location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider returning.

This is the second time we have stayed at the cottage.

Just as lovely the second time. Great place for a family to meet together. Beautiful gardens. Cottage well equipped and very comfortable.

Everything you could want in a holiday cottage, lovely old cottage, and lots to explore nearby.

Charming cottage.

Very well equipped. We enjoyed walks from the door and trips to River Wye and Monmouth.

Comfortable cottage making for an enjoyable stay.

Nice area with some good walks through the forest.

Lovely and very comfortable home

Everything we wanted and hoped for.

Lovely cottage with everything we needed.

Great place to stay to explore the area. Thank you.

Great property in beautiful location with all the facilities you could need.

Large enough but at the same time cosy enough - perfect for our party of seven adults.

Amazing place, we'll be back with wife's for a holiday here

Tremendous home, cracking location and we enjoyed our time there - thank you.

Two items of constructive feedback if I may: 1) feather pillows. Recommend replacing for hypoallergenic ones as my wife and sister had a reaction to the feathers which was uncomfortable for them. Of course I mean a mild reaction but swollen eyes (most obvious sign) not an pleasant. 2) the catch on the gate to/from the drive is lethal!! It really can be dangerous. Don’t have a suggestion on mitigation as of course recognise the mechanism is needed but caution required for sure

This was the best cottage we have ever stayed in .

The location was a idyllic in The Forest of Dean with a secure garden to keep dogs and children in and wild boar out . The cottage is very thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need although don’t think there was a grill in the oven . I actually took my air fryer as we needed to rustle up meals quickly for hungry toddlers . There are plenty of saucepans and crockery to cook for large numbers and also last between dishwasher cycles . There are far more toys than suggested in the description of the games room and enough to keep all ages busy even 1 and 2 year olds. Only one television but that didn’t matter to us as there are videos for children to watch . If they were happy we were too ! We all enjoyed the surrounding area and cottage and would certainly book again .

A lovely cottage set in a beautiful quiet hamlet.

Easy to get to the places we went to visit like Ross on Wye, Symonds Yat. The Dean Forest Railway was the highlight of our visit. All was within easy distance from the cottage and so lovely to return to the peace and quiet. We had a 6 month baby with us and he slept really well in the cottage.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beulah cottage.

There was everything (& more) there for us & so many games for the grandchildren. Maybe a comfy arm chair in the dining room would be a good idea for when a quiet moment was needed. In our 70’s my husband & I found the bigger of the 2 sofa’s was low but think that’s an age thing on our part. Overall, the cottage was delightful, spacious, full of extras (the cider & shortbread

Lovely cottage in a lovely area, with a beautiful garden, and very well equipped.

Beautiful property in a stunning location.

Everything we needed for our stay was at hand. The kids loved the garden where they could play safely. The forest walks straight from the doorstep where brilliant, lots of wildlife to spot, dens to build, things to find. So much to do in the area that we never got round to everything, so a return trip is guaranteed. We would absolutely book here again if it was available.

Beautiful cottage with an amazing garden.

We had a lovely few days exploring the forrest of Dean, went goape climbing, hired a canoe and had a picnic on the river Wye. The garden was fantastic for our 9 year old and he had lots of fun on the tree swing. Great BBQ area and outside seating. The cottage is well stocked with everything you need, comfy beds and sheets and lots of lovely thoughtful touches around the cottage. Definitely recommend and hope to return.

Really lovely cottage in beautiful location Owners very quick to respond to plumbing issue and could not have been more helpful All 5 guests loved it

Loved everything about it.

There was a special atmosphere of peace, birdsong, lovely greens. The paintings in the house were a real bonus too. Thank you.

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend - three generations and plenty for everyone.

There were toys galore for the little ones, games for the adults (we played Articulate), lots of crockery, cutlery, cookware etc, and the most beautiful garden - far bigger than it appeared on the listing and beautifully kept. There were woodland walks direct from the cottage and the local scenery is breathtaking. The only, very minor, comment is that the oven space is quite small, given the capacity of the cottage, but that's being very picky. Thanks very much to the owners for a wonderful family weekend.

The cottage and gardens were amazing we had a lovely time, the owner kept intouch to ensure our holiday went smoothly Thanks to all

Lovely location and beautiful walks from the property.

Great garden with different areas to sit. Our grandchildren particularly liked the rope swing up in the orchard. Really well equipped and cosy. We will definitely come back as it was perfect for 3 generations to stay together.

Fantastic stay away, beautiful cottage with everything we needed!

We were all sad to leave but shall return!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Beulah cottage.

The garden is beautiful and the cottage is lovely, comfortable, clean and well equipped with thoughtful touches. Thank you

Super comfortable cottage.

Well organised and very well equipped. Our family like cooking and there was all we needed including a good sized fridge freezer. The wi-fi was excellent and the owners had provided lots of information on the local area. There were lots of toys which the children enjoyed and the table football was well used. Outside is a large safe garden for dogs, we had 4 cars and had no problems parking. The cottage is set in a quiet hamlet surrounded by plenty of walks, with lots to do within easy reach despite the weather being awful. Highly recommended!

Beulah Cottage is in an idyllic part of the Forest of Dean.

The cottage has plenty of character and charm and was a special place to stay. The log burner in the front room made it very warm and cosy in the evenings. The TV in the sitting room would have been better if it was larger as we mainly stayed inside in the evenings as it is Winter and had to move the sofa's closer as it was hard to see. As the cottage sleeps 8 people the kitchen should have more pans for cooking as there was only 1 baking tray and 1 Frying pan. Also as the description states towels provided, one of these needs to be big enough to be a bath towel as the largest was quite small. The garden is huge and fantastic the way it goes into the forest which our dog loved. Regardless of all the above points we had a lovely restful week in the cottage and would recommend.

i had a wonderful week in Beulah Cottage which is a lovely spacious place with all the comforts of home.

The owners are friendly, warm and welcoming and the goodies left on our arrival, for me and my dog, were a delightful surprise. All was tranquil and peaceful ideal for a truly restful break. The garden is tremendous and the forest is right on the doorstep so we enjoyed long walks through the extensive woodlands, meeting some charming people. It's a super place for exploring the Forest of Dean and I shall definitely be booking again!

Three stars for the location and garden, two for the cottage.

Lovely area - we were very spoilt by the fabulous weather, sun all week. The garden is great, could do with a bench at the top of the garden. Also the BBQ and area is nothing like the photograph. A scruffy pub bench and basic, non gas bbq is what you’ll find, The cottage itself is average. I’ve stayed in much better properties for a third of the price. When we arrived there were cobwebs and spiders in almost every corner. We spend just under an hour vacuuming them away. My son has a terrible fear of spiders - unfortunately, even after cleaning up, the damage was done, my son and his fiancée left after one night as he couldn’t sleep. Yes, we did expect spiders in a cottage, but they were literally everywhere. They obviously hadn’t been cleaned away recently. The windows haven’t been cleaned for a good while, people have drawn pictures on them!! The settee under the window has no padding, it’s like you’re sitting on the floor. The leather settees need cleaning, they are shiny and slippery. Not comfortable at all. The cottage needs a lot of TLC and a deep clean. My view is, as people leave the cottage, they clean up and as requested, leave it as they find it. The cleaner arrives, a quick look around, change the bedding and that’s it, On the plus side, the games room was great, the beds comfortable enough, everything you could need in the kitchen (except sharp scissors). Disappointed as this holiday was rearranged from 2020, it was our 30th wedding anniversary get together that ended up just being three of us instead of five. Can’t fault the location though, extremely peaceful with plenty of walks and an abundance of wildlife, we spotted boar, deer (even one in the garden), plenty of squirrels, an owl, buzzard with a squirrel, a slow worm and even a frog. We will definitely return to the Forest of Dean, just not this cottage.

Only reason for 4 stars was the lack of outdoor garden furniture!

There were only 4 very small garden chairs for a property that sleeps 8. We were very lucky with exceptionally good weather and some comfier garden furniture to enjoy the surroundings and weather would have been perfect. Otherwise, a thoroughly enjoyable holiday at a lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings.

Fantastic cottage in beautiful surroundings.

The cottage was clean and well-kept, and a perfect size for our two large families to have a holiday together.

It was wonderful!

The cottage was the ideal place to stay for a week with 5 people and explore the surrounding area. We had everything we needed, and the property is quite stunning. Thank you!

Fantastic cottage and location.

Did exactly what it said on the tin, relaxing recharge and time to step off the roundabout that is life. Jo Barker was a gem. Can `t wait to come back .

Wonderful cottage with beautiful gardens.

Lovely cottage, beautiful surroundings, very pleasant owners

This was a lovely cottage, really large and spacious with all facilities and amenities.

The kitchen was also fully stocked and had everything you would need. The garden also was massive with a bbq and seating area. It was very dog friendly and the owner was lovely and helpful and made us feel very welcome.

Amazing cottage and beautiful location.

Had a wonderful week and looking forward to visiting again soon. Lovely walks from the cottage garden so you can enjoy days without using the car if you want to and we were lucky to see lots of deer and birds. My teenagers loved the games room and the mountain biking which was only 10 minutes away. Lots to do in the area with the river Wye only 20 minutes away with lots of water sports. Cottage was very well equipped and owners very helpful and friendly.

After initially being concerned about going away so soon after lockdown started to ease, we had a lovely relaxing week at the cottage.

The garden is peaceful and just beautiful - great for having an early morning coffee in while the dogs were playing. The kitchen was well stocked so we could prepare all our meals without any issue. Plenty of space for 8 adults to be together and not feel like they are on top of one another. We would highly recommend.

A lovely place to go for our 3 generations family group.

The teenager and adults loved the games room and there were masses of toys for the 3 year old. Fabulous local walks from the cottage with ample maps provided. Very well equipped property. Lovely garden. The birdsong was glorious.

The cottage was perfect for our large family over the Christmas holiday.

It was so well equipped and really comfortable, we especially loved the log fires to snuggle up in front of at night.

A lovely cottage in a very convenient location for all the forest walks.

The owners could not have been more helpful, resolving a couple of unforeseen issues very promptly.

Beautiful cottage in wonderful surroundings.

We had a fantastic family holiday, lots of lovely memories made.

Beulah is a quiet and relaxing cottage with everything you could possibly want.

The well kept and large gardens are a delight to wonder around and safe for both dogs and children. The pictures on Skyes doesn't show the excellent dining room and well stocked kitchen.

The house was beautiful, much bigger than we expected and it was decorated and fitted out lovely in the inside.

We went on some of the local walks that the welcome book recommended and they were really good. The garden was beautiful, we all spent a lot of time playing outside on the swing. The only downside for us was we went with a 13-month-old baby who can walk well but has not mastered steps yet and she kept falling up/down the steps that go into each room, so she left with a lot of bruises.

We had a fantastic time at Beulah cottage.

It was a brilliant space for our two families to spend time together, the garden was great and our dog loved exploring the wild garden at the back! Fab facilities and the children loved the games room. Would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone looking for a peaceful holiday in a beautiful location, would love to return.

We had a fantastic time at Beulah cottage.

The cottage itself and the garden were superb and perfect for a big family holiday. We loved exploring the local attractions around the Forest of Dean. All in all it was a wonderful week.

A lovely, clean and well equipped cottage in a peaceful location close to many places of interest.

Ideal for dog owners, everything a dog could dream of is supplied. We very highly recommend Beulah cottage and will hopefully visit again ourselves.

This cottage was set a In a lovely quiet peaceful location with access to walks in the forest and to places to visit and see.

The owners were helpful and friendly. This was a lovely stay and I would recommend to others.

Perfect retreat in the country.

Super garden for children and adults and dogs. Excellent walks straight from the door. A very attractive cottage that we were sad to leave.

A fantastic week spent at Beulah Cottage.

Set in such a peaceful location but close enough to amenities. A very well equipped cottage and we loved the games room. Will definitely be returning.

We had a wonderful break at Beulah Cottage and would definitely recommend it to others.

It was spacious and in beautiful surroundings.

Beautiful cottage and so spacious!

The garden was stunning and it was in the perfect location, quiet, secluded and very private. Would definitely return.

We had a lovely family stay at Beulah Cottage for my Dad's 70th Birthday.

The cottage was perfect for the three generations that were staying there and the facilities were excellent. The cottage is perfectly placed for going into Ross on Wye for some dinner or even the nearby Hillside Brewery for a tour! The cottage was well equipped for cooking and the wood burner provided a warming and calming backdrop for an evening with a few glasses of wine. I would wholeheartedly recommend this cottage to anyone!

We all really enjoyed our Christmas at Beulah cottage.

The cottage is well equipped and the kids loved the games room. There are lots of lovely walks that the dog enjoyed. Our dog also enjoyed the garden while the kids enjoyed the rope swing. Dogs are not allowed upstairs, this is not stated on the website.

Good facilities for families in the cottage and great games room.

Lots of steep steps and paths up to the back garden and bbq area for young children or less abled people, but lovely front lawn and flowers. Very quiet, peaceful area which we enjoyed very much.

I’ve stayed in many holiday cottages but Beulah Cottage was one of the best - it is beautiful.

Everything in the house was perfect - we had everything we could possibly need and it was so well thought out, uncluttered and tasteful. The garden was such a joy, we had a 4 and 12 year old with us and both were delighted by it, the provision of games and toys for children and dog were much appreciated. Hours were spent on the rope swing and building fairy houses in the wooded area which was scattered with bluebells. Magical. Without doubt the nicest garden of any house I’ve ever stayed. We’re only sorry we couldn’t stay longer. We followed the walk to the local bluebell wood, bluebells as far as the eye could see, so lovely. Hope to return as it’s a gem.

The hot water was not as warm as it should have been, just tepid.

..but facilities and house were great!

Green Bottom is a perfect, peaceful hamlet just right for a weeks break.

The cottage was comfortable and homely with interesting features such as the owners original artworks. We'ld love to go again if it was closer to home. Thanks Sykes!
