“Lovely small apartment on a busy road, a few minutes into Lydney.”

Well stocked kitchen and very comfortable beds. Limited space for eating in the apartment if you are travelling with a child. There are 5 steep steps down to the property which get a bit slippy in the rain. A good base to visit the surrounding area.

Lovely comfy cottage and being pet friendly was a bonus too. Would definitely stay again

“General decor and facilities were fine.”

I would suggest some updating of shower taps and bedroom carpet. In the kitchen frying pans need replacing. Otherwise our stay was very pleasant.

“Lydney was a very nice place to visit with a very handy supermarket and lovely walks in parkland and down to the quaint, historical harbour.”

There was a good bus service to Gloucester and Chepatow. The apartment was comfortable, warm and well equipped. We had use of a lovely garden. The car parking area at the apartment was very good. However, the details of the apartment are correct in the booking site, but we don't think they give sufficient warning that the steps are rather awkward and would be quite unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues. That said, they caused us no problems at all. We also had a few niggles about the kitchen area. The freezer was caked with ice and we had difficulty both opening the door and storing frozen food in it: it needs a full de-frost. There were no instruction booklets for the microwave and the cooker. There was no suitable dish - such as a pyrex dish - for cooking vegetables in the microwave. All in all, we had a lovely holiday, blessed with glorious weather!

“Kind hosts.”

Cute flat and lovely view. Magnificent garden and v dog friendly. My only issues was not being able to get WiFi in the bedroom. Had a lovely explore of the area both towards the river and into the forest.

“Beautiful comfortable apartment with lovely views.”

A lovely garden to sit in was a real bonus, especially with a steam train going by! Would have preferred a dishwasher instead of a washing machine as china, glasses and cutlery can be washed hotter. Also they weren’t very clean and we had to wash them before using them. No tumblers for our gin and tonic! Minor faults in what was a quality apartment, even though it was over run by mice

“The views from the bay window are glorious even in a rainstorm!”

The apartment is cosy and quirky and a great location to explore the Forest of Dean and Wales. Beautifully maintained and well- equipped. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend.

“Fantastic property and location.”

As others mentioned, it is an old coach house so there are steps to access the property both outside and in. However, in my opinion that’s what gives it a charm. Stunning views out of living room window. Couple things to mention; parking can be a challenge if other guests park inconsiderately. Other minor issue was the window frames in the living room which are painted over, so impossible to open windows. That said, when are you likely to have the weather we enjoyed recently? Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will look to book again.

“The accommodation is in a lovely location with stunning views.”

The bedroom and kitchen were really nice as expected from the listing photos, the kitchen well kitted out. I was very disappointed with the sitting room as most of the furniture was very different to in the photos listed. The sofa and chairs were very shabby and the folding chairs and table all made the room rather gloomy. It was a shame as otherwise it is a lovely place. The online photos should be updated to give a fair representation. The accommodation is well situated for exploring the area.

“I stayed over the xmas period with my two dogs.”

Lovely little apartment, and really nice touches of xmas decorations and a vase of fresh flowers left in apartment on my arrival. Everything you need for a break away. Local town approx 15mins walk away supplying everything you need. Lovely gardens, which I spent quite a lot of time in with dogs. Owners on site but did not disturb us. Central to lots of attractions/places to visit. Really enjoyable stay and would highly recommend it.

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.
