Couldn't fault the property at all. New experience for us after the passing of my wife and family Christmas's for over 30 years. The owners have really put a lot of effort into making the property a really lovely experience. Their attention to detail with added extras for guests and their dogs was exceptional. Even a Christmas tree was provided. The location was great and the views from the rear of the property were unspoilt and something I will remember personally. I've enjoyed showing other family members the lovely pictures taken. Would definitely consider going again in the future.

It's not Christmas, Christmas break
Planned early Christmas family get together. Kitchen very well equipped, warm and cosy property with great view over the valley. Our sons two dogs enjoyed the change, with plenty of space outside which would also be good for children.

Lovely stay
Excellent communication with hosts prior to stay . Property was cosy on arrival and hot tub heated and ready to use . Short drive to many amenities and lovely areas to walk the dogs ! Property on two levels with stairs so may have been a problem for very small dogs , and small gap under patio railings , but with two daft , escapist dachsunds they were fine . Lovely to have a secure garden for the dogs , both grass area and patio . House was impeccable clean and everything had been thought of for a stress free stay with dogs or children ie stair gates / dogs bowls etc . Quiet area with a lovely view from the garden . Would highly recommend .

Excellent location to visit the forest if dean area. Perfect hosts, extra clean property, and so cosy. Views were absolutely amazing; the photos do not do this property justice. Steps are a little steep but taking our time we coped well. Cannot fault the hosts or property in any way.
