  What a lovely cottage in a lovely location!

  The location is set in beautiful countryside and in a very quiet location- we weren’t disturbed by anyone around and in the mornings you could hear owls and birds from the windows. Sheep also love to roam free nearby! The cottage itself is incredibly spacious- our family of 6 all had plenty of room to move freely. There is an added bonus of the children’s playroom for them to break off into as well. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and the added extra of a utility room and downstairs toilet is great. The log burning stove was so lovely to sit in front of and provided some nice extra warmth on the chillier nights. The owners have clearly taken the time to think of anything and everything that you could need in a home away from home and I can’t think of anything we wished we had with us. There’s a travel cot, baby bath and wooden highchair provided for babies which is much better than some other cottages we’ve been to. The downstairs toilet is the only toilet available for everyone to use as upstairs there’s an en suite- this was a bit tricky for our 3 year old to get to in the night so was a bit of a downside and the playroom doesn’t have a radiator so a bit cold- although the owners have got extra heaters that could have been used. Overall a great stay. Thank you

  This is a cracking cottage.

  Has 3 bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, 2 shower rooms and a large kitchen diner. Although there was only the 2 of us on this occasion, there is plenty of room for a family getaway. The facilities were spot on, everything you could ask for, like home from home. Log fire was a dream to ward off the chills of the evening, but to be fair we were lucky with the weather during the day for the week we were there. Although we didn't use the garden, it is very secluded and can see it being a lovely sun trap in summer - also enclosed so no issues with either little uns or dogs getting away from you. It's not detached, but we didn't have any issues with the neighbours or any noise when we were there - and lovely doris (sheep) and friends were there to greet us every time we came out of the cottage. There are many scenic walks from the doorstep, but it is a short walk to village pub and shops if you didn't want to venture far. Would I recommend this cottage? Yes indeed I would and if ever I want to return to the area, I know where I will look first.

  A lovely cottage.

  Facilities were very good, every thing you could want for a stay. Master bedroom is large and beds are very comfortable, plenty of extra bedding and towels. Kitchen is large and has everything you could need. There's 3 bedrooms, a sitting/games room, lounge, kitchen , laundry+ room and conservatory. Every thing was very clean. Lovely location for forest walks. I managed to blow a fuse by plugging in a faulty charger, the owner answered my call straight away and told me where the consumer unit was, so sorted. My one small comment would be there is only one en suite in the master bedroom, so other guest would have to go downstairs to use the toilet downstairs in the laundry/shower/toilet room or go into the master bedroom. Not a problem for us as only 2 of us stayed. Once again I have to say we loved your cottage and certainly recommend it thank you.

  We enjoyed a lovely week in Brewery Lodge and were blessed with excellent weather.

  The apartment is quite compact with the kitchen, dining and lounge all in the same space, but this was as expected. The beds were comfortable and the main bedroom has the benefit of an en-suite toilet/sink. The apartment is directly attached to the pub and this did generate some noise, but nothing too much and not late at night during our week. The main noise comes from the road which seems to attract some traffic passing in a big hurry very early in the morning, which you can't miss if you have the windows open. Keep them shut and it is fine, the double glazing solves that issue. Sue and Ian are a lovely friendly couple and we enjoyed both Sunday lunch and one evening meal in the pub restaurant, and would recommend giving this a try.

  A gem! A dog-friendly cottage/lodge handily situated in the garden of the village pub & close to a number of attractions in the Forest of Dean and wider.

  The 2-bedroom accommodation is fitted with all amenities including a decent kitchen area, lounge & spacious wet-room. Note that the ground floor contains one bedroom & the wet-room whilst the lounge, kitchen and bedroom with en-suite are upstairs. The location & lodge were very comfortable and everything was very well-presented - there was even an arrival gift, most welcome. In these strange times it would be worth saying that everything possible was done to make the accommodation "Covid-safe", and that was appreciated. We would like to thank Sue & Ian for making us feel very welcome indeed and I would finish by recommending the local pub for its lovely homemade food and atmosphere. Would definitely visit again.
