The Cider Barn is commended for its facilities, including a woodburner and a well-stocked accommodation. However, the absence of a pizza cutter suggests there is minor room for improvement.

Lovely, comfortable stay at the Cider Barn. It’s well equipped with everything you would need. It’s ideally located to explore the Forest of Dean, or venture further afield into the Cotswolds, Wye Valley or Welsh borders areas. Welcoming hosts, who were very helpful regarding maps and exploring the local area with lots of great local information and suggestions. A peaceful, comfortable, rural stay in a lovely historic building and an interesting area. Lots of local amenities a short drive away, and plenty of things to do in the local area. A great rural retreat, I had a very comfortable and cosy week and would happily book this property again.
