“A lovely comfortable cottage.”

Well furnished throughout and a good stock of kitchen utensils. Pretty little courtyard garden in which to relax and enjoy. A real "home away from home" and could easily spend weeks here, lapping up the peace and tranquility. Beautiful and quiet countryside location, with lovely views of the River Severn.

Andrew July 2021

“This is a very clean and we'll equipped cottage and lovely garden in a quiet part of Lydney.”

The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. Our only confusion was about the availability of pillows and pillowslips, neither of which are provided so be sure to take your own. Lydney town is not a particularly attractive place but has a convenient railway station with plenty of free parking which we made use of several times. Otherwise there are lots of places to visit within a relatively short drive

- Andrew, July 2021

Thank you very much for your comments and for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Customer feedback is very important to help us continually improve our standards. We would like to apologise as we see that you were not informed about the provision of pillows and pillowcases. We have since made an amendment to our website regarding this. Property Owner

“Rodley Manor Cottage is a wonderful place to stay.”

The cottage is exceptionally clean, very well equipped, comfortable, cosy and has everything you could possibly want in a rented cottage. Safe and secure parking for two cars. Great views over River Severn at the front and picturesque countryside at the back. Lovely courtyard to sit in. Peaceful and quiet, very relaxing. We had a wonderful time. Thank you.

- Susan, June 2021

“Lovely and clean property.”

The hosts were very friendly .The welcome pack was great . A loaf of bread, butter, eggs and milk. Tea bags and coffee.

- Robin, November 2019
Susan October 2019

“Comfortable, pleasant location and parking what more could you want.”

Friendly owners generously provided a welcome pack and flowers all much appreciated. The jigsaw with a table to work on was home from home. Thank you

- Susan, October 2019
Paul September 2019

“Yes. It's a bit optimistic to say the nearest pub and shops is a mile away.”

I would say its over a mile and it is downhill across fields to start with then down hill by pavement. Then on the return it's uphill all the way back. however the people were very nice, the property was lovely and of course the area is outstanding.

- Paul, September 2019

Thank you for taking the time to fill in the feedback form, its much appreciated. Apologies if you found the walk to the pub longer than you expected, the owner did try to direct you via the shortest route. Unfortunately, due to the property location and the fantastic views, the only downside to its elevated position is when you choose to go exploring and then you then have to climb the small hill to return. We totally think it's worth it though! We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Rodley Manor Retreat and look forward to seeing you again soon. Property Owner
Elizabeth September 2019

“We found the house to be extremely well appointed and comfortable.”

We were two couples and the provision of two bathrooms was very important. The location allowed us to explore both Wales and England very easily. There is still lots to explore nearby and, were we to return to this area, we would try and stay here again. We went on the Dean Forest Railway, drove to Tintern, Monmouth and Symonds Yat Rock; took the train from Lydney to Gloucester and to Cardiff (both direct trips); drove to the Cotswolds. Chepstow Castle is well worth a visit too. We were surprised to find bread, butter, milk, eggs and crisps left for us, and fresh flowers too. A nice touch so thank you.

- Elizabeth, September 2019
C September 2019

“Lovely thought of bread, butter, tea and coffee being left which was much appreciated.”

Judy was very welcoming and even offered to take us/pick us up from the local pub if we did not want to drive. Beds very comfortable and loved relaxing on the sofa in the tv area, very comfy. Two double beds in the property so that 2 couples could sleep - some famililies might require two single beds, can't remember if this was mentioned or not. Cream/light colour carpet in the front (tv) room - very lovely (we did not eat or drink anything should anything get spilt etc so maybe worth mentioning for young families)? Lovely too that there were two showers. We only used the downstairs one. The downstairs one would probably be fine for those with mobility problems. Plenty of storage space for clothes etc in the bedrooms. Shops within 5/7 minutes drive from the local shops. A really lovely property and would recommend.

- C, September 2019
Margaret July 2019

“Very pleased with Rodley Manor Retreat!”

We were the very first guests and Judy and Dave gave us a very warm welcome. The cottage had everything we needed and it was lovely to have tea,milk,butter,eggs and bread left for us. A very comfortable cottage in a beautiful area. We would definitely recommend.

About the location

LYDNEY

Chepstow 9 miles, Monmouth 12 miles; Gloucester 20 miles; Chelttenham 27 miles; Bristol; Cardiff 41 miles

The small, thriving town of Lydney is situated between the eastern edge of the Forest of Dean and the River Severn in Gloucestershire. Lydney has a very good range of shops, a leisure centre and sports facilities, as well as pubs, cafes and restaurants serving a wide variety of meals. The magnificent Royal Forest of Dean, England's largest oak forest and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, boasts numerous trails that can be explored on foot, by bike or on horseback. Caving, abseiling and a high wire rope course are for the more adventurous, whilst fishing, golf, kayaking and canoeing are other popular activities in this unspoilt area. The ancient caves of Clearwell are nearby, as are the Gloucestershire Way and Offa's Dyke Path. Symonds Yat boasts natural scenery and straddles the beautiful River Wye with its magnificent limestone outcrop, popular with climbers, and well-known for its viewpoint. Visit the nearby historic walled town of Chepstow with its impressive Norman Castle and the celebrated racecourse, whilst the pretty market town of Monmouth, with its mixture of elegant Georgian mansions and Victorian courtyards, or the lovely town of Ross-on-Wye with its timbered Tudor houses and delightful riverside walks, both offer excellent shops, pubs and restaurants. The unspoilt Brecon Beacons National Park and Black Mountains, as well as lovely Cotswold towns and villages are just a little further afield as are the cities of Cheltenham, Gloucester, Cardiff, Newport, and just across the Severn Bridge, Bristol and Bath. Lydney is ideally placed for enjoying the delights of Gloucestershire at any time of the year.
