!)

!) Definatley look at revisiting

- Julie, April 2022
Andy March 2022

“Lovely cosy place - had all we needed for a cosy relaxing place to stay.”

Ideally situated for some smashing walks in Forest of Dean - jacuzzi at the end of a long walk was a nice tonic and sitting in front of a log burning fire in the evening was grand - highly recommended place to stay.

- Andy, March 2022
Ethel February 2022

“The cottage is very clean and cosy.”

We enjoyed my husband’s birthday and Valentine’s Day. Enjoyed the walks and shopping in Gloucestershire.

Karen January 2022

“Lilly Cottage surpassed our expectations.”

A beautifully quaint interior with far reaching views. The icing on the cake being the 6 seater hot tub provided with total privacy. A truly magical get away.

- Karen, January 2022
Roma January 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lily Cottage.”

It is located in a really pretty setting ideally suited for travelling around the area. The hot tub was an added bonus and it looked really magical with the fairy lights. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well stocked with everything you could want. If we were to visit the area again, we would definitely book another stay at Lily Cottage and would thoroughly recommend for a romantic break. Thank you.

“Absolutely amazing property.”

It’s in a lovely area which is quiet,perfect and beautiful. The property so we’ll equipped, beautiful and clean. Lovely having a log fire and the hot tub tops it all off. Just the most amazing place and had a fantastic holiday! Plus Loads to do in the area.

- Daniel, December 2021
Sylvia December 2021

“Had the most wonderful stay in this delightful cottage, best hot tub ever (and we have tried a good many!”

) Good walks almost from doorstep, pubs aplenty with good food, cottage was clean and comfy, a cosy spot for two! Forest of Dean heritage centre and Puzzlewood are our favourite places to visit.

- Sylvia, December 2021
Chloe November 2021

“We loved our stay at this gorgeous cottage which was so cosy.”

There was a confusion with the check in / out time so beware emails from Sykes cottages as the check out time is 10am not 11am. The hot tub is not able to be used on the first nights stay due to cleaning, so is only available for 1 day out of a 2 night stay despite arrival at 15:30 (this is due to changing the water for every guest to ensure cleanliness) however this should be advertised on booking. We were also fire novices so this could be just us, but I didn’t feel like there was enough kindling / fire lighters for two nights worth of fires; I’m sure we could have asked for more but didn’t want to bother the owners.

- Chloe, November 2021
Sasha November 2021

“Lovely stay , everything you would need, definitely visit again”

- Sasha, November 2021
Elizabeth October 2021

“This was a lovely cottage in a great location.”

The hot tub was a great extra and lovely to relax in the evening. The cottage was clean and had all the amenities needed. Only drawback was the bathroom was downstairs

- Elizabeth, October 2021
Debra September 2021

“Had a lovely stay at Lily Cottage was a little surprised that the owners didn’t make contact upon our arrival which has always happened at other properties we have stayed in.”

The property was very well appointed for visiting the surrounding area. Think the cottage would benefit from a full length mirror and a plug near a mirror for drying hair.

- Debra, September 2021
Chrissie September 2021

“We were blessed with amazing weather which meant we could enjoy all the amazing surroundings.”

The cottage made the perfect base and was very cosy.

Ben April 2021

“The cottage is ideally situated on the cusp of the forest, which makes it perfect for picking up the footpaths.”

As described, it is very well kept, extremely cosy & tranquillity of the area makes this superb for a relaxing break. The hot tub is a lovely touch, which is great to relax in after many miles of walking/cycling, topped off with superb views of the forest. Again, location makes it very easy access to the various attractions around the forest of Dean. We loved this cottage & loved the forest!

Stephen December 2020

“This was a lovely cottage would highly recommend it for a couple.”

With the Coronavirus epidemic. The cottage was clean and cared for in a very professional way. We were informed of the changes that were in place, and could supplement items that’s could not be provided. We had the most charming week. Plenty of walks, and the hot tub was a fantastic asset. Well maintained. We were delighted. Enjoyed the glow and warmth of log burner in evenings.

- Stephen, December 2020
David October 2020

“Good central location and easy to explore the local area and the Forest of Dean.”

The cottage was brilliant and had everything you needed. The owners were available if we need help and we also felt safe. We will definitely use this cottage again.

- David, October 2020

- Stewart, August 2020
Carolyn August 2020

“Lilly Cottage is a fantastic property with many of the comforts of home.”

It is located in a great position for walking in the Forest of Dean, and there is a 45 minute circular walk just a 2 minute walk from the cottage! We loved the hot tub, while we enjoyed the view of the Forest. It was a nice touch to have fresh flowers and chocolates. Thanks very much to the owners for making the cottage so comfortable.

- Carolyn, August 2020

- Karen, July 2020
Juliet July 2020

“Lilly Cottage is a very comfortable well laid out cottage and the hot tub was lovely after a days walking.”

This cottage is in a very quiet area but close to a good local pub, and all areas of the Forest of Dean are easily accessible from the Cottage. We very much enjoyed our stay and the little touches of fresh flowers and chocolates and a Welcome card were very much appreciated.

- Juliet, July 2020
Emily February 2020

Lucy December 2019

“Lovely cottage, was perfect for me and my husband for a short break over new year.”

Great facilities, the only thing missing was a pair of scissors. The surrounding area with walks and pubs were fantastic. We would definitely like to return. The hot tub was amazing.

- Becki, November 2019
Pat November 2019

“Lilly Cottage was a wonderful, peaceful little escape on the very edge of the Forest.”

Matt and Chloe were welcoming, very friendly and willing to help with any questions etc. The cottage was immaculate as was the hot tub, which had wonderful views into the forest trees. The autumn colours were amazing. The cottage was small but perfectly adequate for the two of us and our little dog. It had everything we needed, was cosy with the added bonus of a wood burning stove, light and tastefully decorated. The bed was extremely comfortable and altogether, we had a very enjoyable and relaxing few days enjoying the Forest walks, nearby harbour walks, tearooms, local pubs

- Pat, November 2019
Michelle August 2019

“A lovely little cottage with everything you could possibly require for a short break.”

The forest is literally right next door, with a pathway leading to numerous stunning walks being found right at the end of the drive. There’s plenty to do in the local area, and a well-stocked leaflet rack has been kept up to date so you can find activities, walks and more. The local pub was great for drinks and food, once we could tear ourselves away from the hot tub. I would definitely recommend Lilly Cottage.

- Michelle, August 2019

- Sophie, June 2019
Ben June 2019

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lilly Cottage despite a week of poor weather, the wood burning fire and sheltered Jacuzzi were a welcome sight at the end of the day.”

We'd recommend visiting Symonds Yat & Goodrich Castle,The Mill Race was a fantastic pub also.

- Ben, June 2019
Julie April 2019

“Great cosy place to stay in a wonderful location.”

Really quiet and relaxing and the cottage provided everything we needed during the week. Hosts were really friendly and on hand should we ever need them. Explored the area by foot, bike and canoe and nothing was more than a short drive away (as well as being the Forest on your doorstep!) Great holiday and wonderful cottage!

- Julie, April 2019
Richard April 2019

“Thoroughly enjoyed both the cottage and the area.”
