“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.

“Excellent property.”

Lovely view. The owner was very nice and helpful.
Mr Biggs November 2019

“There are a lot of steps and stairs so not suitable for elderly, disabled or children.”

From the property there isn't a footpath partway to the town and the road is extremely busy. Bedroom fabulous, as are the gardens. We enjoyed it as it provided a good base for visiting the Forest of Dean.
Mr Lowe October 2019

“Future clients should be aware that access to the apartment is down some awkward steps.”

People with mobility issues would struggle. We found difficulty getting our suitcase in and out of the property.
Miss Meynell August 2019

“My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Hayloft!”

A perfect little getaway and it was lovely being able to have the dogs. Everything we needed was provided and it was very clean. Thanks very much!
Mrs Patel August 2019

“Loved our stay at Hayloft!”

Michael, the owner was always available and ready to help. The apartment was gorgeous and it made our stay even better! Would definitely recommend! :-)
Mrs Pippard August 2019

“The apartment was much smaller than it looked on the photos, and anyone of larger than average build would have had a real problem entering the property or sitting at the small table and chairs provided for dining.”

The noise from the road was excessive unless all the windows were shut, then the apartment was stuffy. The decor and furnishings were a little old and tired. During our stay the owners (who live in ajoining rooms) had building work taking place (for which they apologised) and also have two yappy dogs. There is very poor sound insulation between the Hayloft and their apartment, as there is a connecting door which has no sound insulation. The result was a far from peaceful stay. Although sensibly priced we cannot recommend this apartment.

Thank you for your feedback, We are sorry that you felt the property was not large enough for you, we do feel that our photos give a clear representation of our cosy first floor apartment and its furnishings. We are sorry if any associated noise was heard on the day works were carried out on our property via the connecting door in the hallway, we were of the understanding as advised that you were out for that day. Unfortunately we are not able to do anything in relation to traffic associated with the road nearby. Regards Owner relations

“We enjoyed staying in this cottage.”

The gardens were lovely and we enjoyed spending a day on the steam trains.
Mrs Davey May 2019

“The apartment is in a very good position on a hill so has views down to Lydney and surrounding countryside.”

The apartment is very comfortable, well equipped and decorated to a high standard. All rooms were very clean. The bedroom had a king size and a single bed with wardrobe and dressing table. The en-suite shower room although quite small was more than adequate and had a very powerful shower. The kitchen had a large fridge/freezer, full size cooker and hob, microwave and washing machine. There was plenty of crockery and cooking utensils. The best room was the lounge with dining area, window seats and the lovely views. There are quite a lots of steps/stairs; outside and in, so may not suit everybody. I feel the instructions on how to find the property should have included the actual name of the house that the apartment is part of; but maybe I missed that bit. I also feel that there could have been more information supplied regarding Lydney and surrounding area.

“It was not clear from the advertisement and pictures that this property was a mass of steps.”

We were not so naive as to think that the Hayloft was on the ground floor, but it did not mention all the steps up to the kitchen ,bedroom etc., The twisty steps down to the front door. Not suitable for people over a certain age and dogs. The property was so cold on our arrival - no heating on. It took hours to thaw out. The Hayloft is well decorated, very clean, the bed very comfortable. No way of keeping the bathroom door shut unless you lock yourself in. The "Sitting room" furniture is not comfortable, a very small, hard 2 seater couch. and a wicker bedroom chair. We stayed 4 nights then headed home. Not entirely due to the accommodation the weather was awful.

Had a lovely time owners very friendly and helpful nice and cosy with all the amenities on the doorstep great views will come back in the summer with friends

“We had a great time and we loved the hayloft it was beautiful.”
Ms Nash September 2018

“The apartment was outstanding.”

It was beautifully furnished and one of the nicest places I have stayed. The view was stunning. The garden was really lovely and, had it been the Summertime, I would not have wanted to go anywhere but just sit in it. The owners have worked extremely hard to get it where it is today. I met the owners on my stay. They gave me a brief history of the property, which was very interesting. They are a really lovely couple and have two really cute little dogs. I have told everybody what a lovely stay I had and will definitely like to go back again sometime next year. 5* You deserve it.
Mr Jeffery September 2018

“Such a lovely place to stay, very cosy after a day spent exploring the beautiful Forest of Dean!”
Mrs Delaney August 2018

“A lovely flat with great views down to the town and across the countryside.”

Tastefully furnished, very comfortable and well equipped, we thoroughly enjoyed our short break here. Highly recommended.
Mrs Jablonska Bond August 2018

“Great location and a really cosy, beautiful place.”

Would come back and will definitely recommend to friends and family for a holiday in the Forest of Dean.
Miss Woolley July 2018

“We booked last minute, communication was excellent, the cottage was beautiful, clean, gorgeous views and gorgeous garden, owners were lovely, welcoming and dog friendly.”

It was close to all of our booked activities and there was lots to do locally for all ages and tastes.
Mr Allen June 2018

“The owners are extremely pleasant and helpful, even posting on our toothebrush charger that we left in the apartment.”

The bed was superb , most comfortable. The decription of the apartment does not mention the amount of stairs inside the apartment, which can make life difficult. Apart from that the whole experience was very good.
Mrs Mcgrorey June 2018

“The Hayloft is stunning .”

Lydney as a town was a complete let down. Lack of places to eat , not dog friendly pubs (only in garden) . Thankfully we had a car explored the area . ***OWNER RESPONSE*** Sorry you found Lydney disappointing. Most guests choose us for the close proximaty to Forest of Dean and The Wye Valley. The apartment has a rural setting with views over fields and forest, yet only half a mile from Lydney shops and a Tesco store. The Guest information folder in the apartment lists several dog friendly places to eat and drink in Lydney and surrounding area. We also recommend a visit to Bathhurst park in Lydney which has lovely formal gardens and fountain, extensive playing fields with safe dog walking area and a lovely cafe. We do hope you enjoyed your stay and thank you for taking the time to let us know your thoughts.***
Mrs Methuen March 2018

“Its a very nice apartment, with a beautiful garden, However as there is no gate, and the driveway/parking area is right on a busy main road, children and dogs MUST be supervised.”

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.
