Michelle
Had a fantastic time at Humbug house, we arrived and it instantly felt very clean and well presented. The space was great for our young children, kitchen well kitted out for self catering, family games to play in the living room, and it was convenient to get to nearby attractions and walks. The only two things I’d note is that the main bed was very soft which meant my husband didn’t sleep well at all - I appreciate this is preference but a medium mattress may suit more people for in-between firm and soft preferences. Also we couldn’t find any dish cloths or cleaning spray to wipe down the sides and table (fortunately I had a cloth with us that we used but no spray).However we would still highly recommend this holiday house for a stay in the Forest of Dean!
