“Greeted by the own, made to feel very welcome, always available if needed.”

Didn't want to come home.

Didn't want to come home.

- Mrs Parsons, October 2019
“Lovely property and well maintained gardens.”

Nice welcome and very accommodating to allow us to enter earlier at 130 pm Nice place. Road noise not an issue ( all relative to what your used to). Only thing o would improve is a better outside light when walking up and down those steep steps in the dark. The present light is just too dim.

- Mr Doe, September 2019
“The apartment was clean, comfortable and fairly well-equipped although the frying pan was far too small and no longer non-stick because all the cooking utensils were metal ones.”

A sieve would be useful (for cooking rice). It was good to have a full-size Fridge-freezer. Although dogs are allowed in the garden it is really only suitable for very small dogs (we have a Labrador & a Springer). We were also disappointed that we could not walk the dogs anywhere directly from the house and had to drive to the park for their early morning walks. The road is far busier than we had been expecting, with speeding traffic day and night.

- Mr Alder, September 2019
“Lovely view from the rear of the property but very noisy road at the front.”

it mentioned in the write up for the property that it had steep steps,. the steps were realy steep,i had trouble with them and i am quite fit.

- Mr Pinner, July 2019
“The steps up to the appartment were extremely steep and likely to be a little slippery when wet.”

This wasn't made clear in the description , my wife has only one eye and found them challenging . Overall an enjoyable break.

- Mr Shugrue, June 2019
“We were surprised how busy/noisy the main road was.”

The twin room was uncomfortable and rather tight for space. Suffered from road traffic noise. It was difficult carrying suitcases up the steep stone external staircase; we are very able bodied. The hob needs an extractor to prevent the living area steaming up, and to remove cooking smells. There was a general feel that there was a lack of attention to detail for example: missing light bulbs, clock was not working. Whilst there was hanging room in the wardrobes there was no drawer space; the wardrobe in the twin room is very dark. On the positive side it was great to have off road car parking, and the place is good for visiting the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley. Also good supermarket shopping facilities nearby.

- Mrs Hall, May 2019
“Friendly hosts.”

Well equipped and comfortable apartment in convenient location.Easy to find and good facilities close by.

- Mrs Thomas, May 2019
“The stable apartment was lovely with everything we needed for a relaxing short break and great views from the lounge area and bedroom.”

The apartment is in an ideal location to enjoy the many activities and tourist attractions in the area. The only minor draw back is as it is a first floor apartment, the steps up to the front door are very steep and though not a problem for us, it may be for someone less able or who has mobility difficulties. Overall a great place to stay and would definately recommend.

- Mrs Frost, April 2019
“Lovely location.”

Cottage lovely . Will revisit in warmer times

- Mrs Greenwood, October 2018
“The holiday was fantastic, all local amenities are within 10 mins drive.”

Had some fabulous walks in the Forest of Dean with our dog, the views at Symonds yak rock were stunning. The ride on the Forest of Dean railway was brilliant as with the boat tour at Gloucester docks. The apartment was brilliant has everything in there, the dog loved the walks in the back garden every morning and evening, just like home from home. Met Michael the owner who is very friendly and willing to help with any problems.

- Mr Still, August 2018
“This was our first holiday with our grandchildren so it was fraught with potential problems.”

The enormous garden proved popular with our two and with two children in the apartment below. The views were excellent (watching a pair of buzzards throughout the day was the highlight) with the Dean Forest Railway just below the far edge of the field. When we thought we had left some of our possessions, the owner immediately checked, and rang us back. Thankfully they turned up among the packaging! And he was equally pleased that we had our possessions intact.

- Mr Watkins, August 2018
“Had a brilliant time.”

Accommodation was superb. We will definitely be back. Thank you very much Michael. All the best Ian. Elaine &Millie woof woof

- Mr Harper, June 2018
“Spotlessly clean apartment with everything you need provided.”

Fantastic views and beautiful garden areas to sit in on an evening. Would highly recommend this apartment to anyone, only downside is steep steps you just have to go steady.

- Clements, May 2018
“Very, very, very clean.”

Check in / out process very simple and communication with the owner was very easy, considering we booked very last minute. I recommend a stay here.

- Mrs Wilson, May 2018

Comfortable, light, roomy and nice views. Well equipped. Owners really helpful and on hand to address any issues.

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.
