“The fridge could go withba shelf and the pictures online are a little misleading about the garden, but it was a lovely base for exploring and really dog friendly, we loved it.”

“The first floor apartment was lovely but the steps going down to the garden were very steep and in the evening it was very dark to get down to the garden if you have a dog.”

You definitely need to take a torch. I would recommend this apartment but it's not suitable if you have a dog that likes to go out.

“Make sure you read any details on how to find it as I didn’t get round to it and relied on the postcode which wasn’t very accurate.”

“Michael was very friendly, the garden was lovely and the apartment very comfortable.”

A great base to go and see the Forest of Dean and the Welsh borders. Highly recommend the Globe in Alvington for a meal out.

“We really enjoyed our relaxing short break in this comfortable and well equipped apartment.”

It is an ideal base for exploring the local area, has good facilities close by and stunning views from the lounge. The main road was busy in the day but our daughter slept well in the twin room at the front. It clearly states in the description that the stone steps to the apartment are steep, and they really are, but I do think the lighting is inadequate. The light was so dim we had to use the torches on our mobile phones. Overall, it is a lovely place to stay and I would recommend it.

“Lovely place, fantastic views,”

Stayed as a family with our dog in the summer holidays, the apartment is well equipped and feels very airy whilst being homely. It made a great base to explore the forest of Dean and surrounding areas. Lydney town is a short walk down the hill whilst the harbour is a short drive (or catch the steam train). Michael was very helpful and made us feel at home.

“Beautiful home from home.”

Our stay at The Stable Apartment in Highbury House has been wonderful. Michael, the owner, has been really helpful when we've needed him. The place is beautifully furnished, very homely with nice decorative touches here and there. It was spotlessly clean and tidy when we arrived, and has been a comfortable base for our family holiday. There is plenty of storage space, a fully equipped kitchen, and the beds are extremely comfortable, with very good quality linen. The location itself is wonderful, far enough away from the main town to feel quite secluded but with a tesco located conveniently close. It's also very close to lots of family attractions, which have made this holiday very special. My only worry was the lack of pavement on the main road outside the property, which made it difficult to walk from Highbury House to the town centre with a pushchair. Overall we're very happy with our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends, and if we ever come to the Forest of Dean again, this would be our first choice.

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.
