The cottage was lovely, very cosy well maintained. They also had a barbecue area and a griller but unfortunately we didn't have time They also provided coffee, tea milk and biscuit which was handy for us. We will definitely stay again nice place to explore ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire 6 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication A little tricky to find in the dark but we all had a lovely stay, the cottage was amazing and would definitely stay again ##### Claire Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Emma 16 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The house was well equipped, modern and very clean. Smart tv and wifi was included. Very quiet location. Parking was a bit tricky in the dark. Nice garden which would be lovely in warmer weather. ##### Emma Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication #### Family stay August 2024 We had a relaxing 3 night stay. The bed in the main bedroom wasn't very comfortable and we felt like we were going to fall between the matresses as they were pushed together. The property is situated on a main road which we didn't realise. The road noise was loud when we sat outside at the back end which was most of the time but inside the house was much more quiet with the double glazing and the house stayed cool in the hot weather. The layout of the house was nice, the lounge had a good feel to it. There was everything you needed utensil wise and the communication from the owners was good with quick responses. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue 7 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Cosy cottage in the forest Really comfortable and cosy cottage, well located deep in the beautiful forest. I can imagine the multiple outside sitting opportunities would come into their own in summer. Also really appreciated the gestures for the dog (bowls, treats, towel, lead). A great stay, thank you. ##### Sue Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 29 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lilac cottage The cottage is in a really great location to walk straight out into the forest and is also a fantastic base to explore the various attractions and days out. We had 2 young boys < 7 and our dog and it was safe, secure and big enough for all of them to expend energy whilst at base.The hostess is amazing and has lots of handy hints for your stay. We will definitely be going back to see Louise and Lilac cottage again. A real home from home in the heart of the Forest of Dean. Highly recommended ##### Andrew Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Waqar, London 20 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The cottage was very cosy, everything we needed was provided, clean and tidy too. We had a 3 month old baby with us and there was enough space for our travel cot to fit in one of the bedrooms. We had wifi, digital tv, netflix, a fairly large selection of dvds and a selection of board games to choose from to keep us entertained. There isnt much phone signal in that area of the forest but with wifi in the cottage it wasnt too much of an issue, plus gave us a bit of time away from our phones. Will certainly come back and stay again. ##### Waqar Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Layout of the college worked for a family.
