  We were looking for a short break over Easter in the Forest of Dean to do some walking and cycling.

  After a bit of searching for a nice dog friendly, modern property in a good location, we found Sevenwoods View. Nestled in a quiet (albeit steep) country lane in the village of Longhope, was a new holiday home offering wonderful views of the countryside from it's reverse arranged living accommodation (bedrooms downstairs and lounge/kitchen/diner upstairs). This worked well for many reasons including countryside views, ease of washing the dog after muddy walks, and a light and airy feeling to the lounge due to the open roof void. Sevenwoods View is finished to a very high standard, and it felt like a real home from home, with an open plan living area that somehow felt really cosy. Was just the right space to chill out in at the end of an active day. It's clear that a great deal of though has gone into this property to make it a place that guests can really relax in. It's very peaceful there too. No passing traffic due to it's location, and you can see the sunrise and sunset from the wonderful panoramic views from the living area. Before, during, and after our stay, the communications with Sarah and Chris (the owners) was excellent. Sarah really did go out of her way to make sure that we had a comfortable stay. Both Sarah and Chris are really lovely people. On our arrival, there was a lovely welcome pack of cakes and bread etc. catering to our vegan diet - a really thoughtful gesture - thank you :-) If you are looking for a relaxing space to stay, run by lovely people, with pleasant country walks, a fabulous bakery just a stones throw away, and easy access by car to wonderful Forest walks and cycle rides, do not hesitate to book a break at Sevenwoods View. We will be planning a long weekend there again soon, and already know that we will be guaranteed a very warm welcome by Sarah and Chris (and Rio the dog!).

  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.

  The property was excellent!

  We stayed for four nights as a couple. First impression: easy to locate, generous parking spaces, very clean outside and inside and tastefully furnished. The "welcome pack" (bread and milk) was a nice touch. Downstairs WC was handy. The house has been very thoughtfully equipped. And we had a peaceful stay - neighbouring properties were quiet and although the house is next to a road, it didn't disturb us much at night. It was our first visit to the Forest of Dean area and we had a delightful time - saw deer a few times and wild boar! We are definitely coming back and hope to stay in this property if available. The only downside - which is really down to the area - is the poor mobile phone coverage; we used 02 and Vodafone but there was very poor or no mobile phone and mobile internet reception in the Forest of Dean area. Not really a problem for us really as we enjoyed the peace and quiet and could use WhatsApp or Wifi calling for anything urgent :)

  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.

  So lovely. As soon as we stepped in the door it was so homely.

  Bedrooms on the ground floor then walk upstairs to the amazing living room. All 4 windows have a different view of the country side different view in every window just amazing. The high ceilings in the living room make it so cosy. Nothing you will want for as every thing is there. If you want to relax it has a lovely outdoor space where you can just chill out. So clean and tidy perfect place to stay. Visiting my son and his girlfriend in Gloucester just 20 minutes away perfect location if you want to just chill from all the hustle and bustle. Perfect to get to everywhere. My dog just relaxed from the minute we got there so safe for you dogs. I cannot recommend this enough perfect for a relaxing holiday. Sarah and Chris were so welcoming. Definitely coming back here on our next visit. The pictures don’t do it justice it’s so much better.
