"The house was great, very clean and everything we needed, found the noisy road a bit of an issue at night, had to close the secondary double glazing, prefer to have an open window. We do live in a very quiet village."

"Excellent in every way and would happily stay again. Icing on cake would have been EV charger working (looked like it had no 4g signal) and hot tub was a little over chlorinated……… but these really are inconsequential compared to the really well served farmhouse accommodation. Free access to the estates gardens was definitely a bonus and well worth a walk around."

"Our fourth stay...super convenient with dog, great value."

"Absolutely fabulous stay! All of us loved it…beautifully appointed apartment, but for us the garden made it…surprised that the pups even came home with us, they mentioned squatting and never leaving! 😂"

"There were extensive bluebell woods outside the front door. Views across the valley to the Roman temple at Lydney and dark, quiet nights. Great walking in the local woods and lots of birds and other wildlife. It was a perfect break."

"Beautiful house in wonderful countryside, we had a lovely stay. The only issue we had is with the hot water (there didn’t seem to be enough for the 6 of us) and lack of indoor downstairs loo/bathroom. Other than that would highly recommend. "

"Fantastic location in the middle of the forest. Loved sitting by the pond listening to the birds. It was great that our dog could run around the garden and made a much more relaxing break for us. The weather was good so we were able to make the most of the forest being on the doorstep. We also visited Lydney gardens, which was beautiful. The house was lovely and big with plenty of sitting for 5. Only thing I would say could be improved was the windows need cleaning. It’s a shame as the views were fantastic. I did try to clean one but it didn’t really look any different so maybe they are just old windows. Overall it was a lovely house in a great location. "

"We stayed in both properties for a family celebration. The houses were large, extremely clean and had everything we needed. With lovely walks on the doorstep, a couple of decent pubs within walking distance and other walks just a short drive away. This was an excellent base to discover the Forest of Dean."

"We booked Lodge Barn for a 60th Birthday and a family gathering. Covering 4 generations and 2 dogs, it was ideal in terms of the facilities, the space available and its location. On arrival there were complimentary tea/coffee and cleaning packs and the place was very clean and warm. All rooms were tidy and well presented with the cleaning team having done a great job in terms of getting the place ready. It was certainly well received by all those coming for the weekend. The kitchen is very spacious and was well used over the weekend, becoming a hub for meals as well as other activities. The close proximity to large supermarkets and pubs meant we had less to bring with us. Numerous places to visit within reasonably short distances meant that everyone could find something to do or to go to if not wanting to walk in the woods which were just at the back of the lodge. The large garden, enclosed apart from some small gaps under the gates, was ideal for the dogs to run around in and in better weather (we were here during a fairly wet February) would be a fantastic area for games, BBQ's etc. We took a stair gate with us to stop the dogs going up the stairs but could have used an extended one as the gap was rather larger than the gate. Our only gripes, all minor and probably reflect the idiosyncrasies of the group were; it was very warm, especially in the kitchen (partially from the Aga), some of the large knives could be sharper and a few more utensils such as ladle's. We had a fantastic time, everyone was very pleased with the accommodation and how well it was maintained and are looking forward to a repeat. We would wholeheartedly recommend a stay at Barn Lodge"
