What our customers say about their holidays

  The property is clean, small but very comfortable and charming.

  The bed is super comfy. The facilities are good and, although we didn't use the cooking facilities, there appears to be everything that's needed, plus 4 of all crockery etc. The shower is easily regulated with good spray power. However, the shower tray is showing signs of wear and tear and needs some minor remedial works to it's appearance. The bedding and sheets provided are of excellent quality. There is no enclosed outdoor space attached to the property, but Rich allows dogs to use the pub garden first thing in the morning and last thing at night, and there's an exercise green a short walk from the property. Look out for the adorable Marley & Luna, the owner's black Labs that will come and calmly say hello! Rich & Hannah are very welcoming and approachable and there if you need them but don't impose on your stay. The welcome pack of tea/coffee/milk, biscuits and other treats is very much appreciated, esp the delicious bottle of red wine! The property is well placed and I recommend visiting Monmouth, Chepstow, the Forest of Dean (Puzzlewood and Mallards Pike Lake), Tintern Abbey/Devil's Pulpit/The Old Station Café and the Wye Valley. There are also nice walks along the river from Lydney Harbour. There are plenty of dog friendly pubs, a short drive from the property, serving excellent meals or, if you just want a drink, the Netherend Inn is very friendly and welcoming and just a walk across the drive! We had a really enjoyable week at the property and if I could make a suggestion to improve, it is to provide somewhere to dry the bath sheets, such as 2 large wall hooks, or a heated towel rail, or possibly a folding clothes airer, which would be useful if you need to rinse any clothes out as well. We both, and our 2 dogs, had a fab stay thank you , and hope to be back again!

  Rose Cottage and our host were lovely.

  The cottage was comfortable and the location is very good for exploring the Forest of Dean and surrounding area. The water pressure is not good upstairs if someone else is using the shower downstairs, but that was just a minor detail. Being right on the main road to Lydney would not have been my first choice but wasn't too much of an issue as the off street parking was good. There was no noise from the workshop opposite and having the sign outside made the cottage easy to find. The only issue I had whilst booking was with Sykes cottages and the very rude person we first spoke to who cancelled our original booking without consulting us even though we asked her not to and we were then left to find an alternative, which she also got wrong. Fortunately the second person we spoke to was nice and competent and sorted out the error. It does not make me want to use Sykes ever again, even though the holiday was eventually relaxing the stress beforehand was not what we needed.

  Our visit to the beautiful Rose Cottage was nothing short of charming.

  We loved the place and the people. From the well thought out kitchen, with everything you could want equipped, to the wood burning stove in the super comfortable living/dining room with modern TV and Netflix, comfortable bed, storage space for clothes, the relaxing conservatory, the well kept garden and more.... the attention to detail here is noticeable in providing as much as possible for the guests. There is so much to love about this great place to stay. It is as much a joy as Christine our host, who was very friendly and welcoming to us and a credit to providing a place we wouldn't hesitate in returning to! The private parking area is brilliant for offloading luggage and is safely out of the road. Fast broadband too which was a bonus. With beautiful surroundings, peaceful walks just minutes away and easy routes to surrounding areas, Rose Cottage comes with the highest recommendation from us. Thanks from Jill & Bob

  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.

  We had the most comfortable stay at Netherend.

  The cottage is all you need. The floor heating makes it so nice. It is very clean, has all you need for a superb stay. The owners are very friendly people. We felt very welcomed. Also, they were there for anything we needed. The pub next to the cottage is a pleasure to be in. All people were very friendly, you can tell the owners built a good relationship with the people in the surrounding area. We will for sure come back. And will recommend the cottage to our friends. The area is very beautiful, lots of nice walks. On arrival we had a very warm welcome and a big basket of goodies was waiting for us - this was very generous and also included treats for our dog. All the best to Richard & family! Veronica, Gavin & Ivy
