  We absolutely loved our stay in The Annexe.

  Came for 4 nights with just me, 2 teenagers and the dog in a fairly rainy week, so was slightly nervous about keeping them all entertained and happy - but needn't have worried! The house was immaculately clean (and I mean, totally, utterly, spotless clean) and we couldn't have asked for better, more modern and comfortable facilities (my first time cooking on an induction hob - worked a treat!!). The lovely owners even provided us with a home-baked cake and cookies - they didn't last long with the teenagers in the house! Wi-Fi had a super strong signal, so we were able to stream movies, play games on our devices etc with no problems (essential with 2 teenagers in tow!). Plenty of piping hot water for showers or a bath, too. The beautiful but also wildlife-friendly garden and views from The Annexe were magnificent - I had a real stinker of a cold on our holiday, so spent a lot of time happily sat in the reclining lounge chairs reading and watching the birds coming to the feeders out the window. The location was perfect for a big range of activities too - we went to Go Ape, Goodrich Castle, Symonds Yat and the Taurus Crafts shops & cafe, but saw many other places we would've loved to explore if we'd had a longer stay. All were dog-friendly and lovely places to go (essential as my dog has separation anxiety so has to come everywhere with me). We loved our break in The Annexe and couldn't recommend it more highly as a place to stay.

  The views are breath taking.

  The owner is not intrusive and she's lovely. The pool is big and warm when the sun is out. Perfect for walks with the dog and large garden (bear in mind it is open). It is only a few miles from Gloucester so not too out of the way. Supermarkets and Gloucester Quay within 10 minutes. The rooms are spacious. A chest of drawers would be really helpful in the second double. We really did live out of the suitcase. The property description states there is a bath. There isn't. Not a major biggie but we only have a walk-in shower and was looking forward to it. The place does feel like it could do with a really good clean. Downstairs toilet seat is loose. The small fridge in the kitchen doesn't close properly as the seal has worn. I did advise the owner. But other people have mentioned it in the comments as well some time ago. The internet and phone signals are poor. Would I go back? Yes, but not in the high season, I don't feel the property reflects the price. However, if you don't care about the said issues, it is a beautiful area and the owner's friendliness really did make the holiday.

  Absolutely lovely cottage.

  On a working farm, but you would never know. We did not go prepared for swimming, but wish we had done so. The enclosed swimming pool was clean and relatively private. Mattress not to our liking, but still slept well. A cottage with character....including the squeaky floorboards up stairs. Extremely well kitted out. TWO fridges was a welcome bonus. Did not try the open log fire on this visit, however we did need the heating on for a short time in the evening(s). WIFI/internet great. Welcome tray with homemade wine & bickies, plus fresh milk in the kitchen fridge (big thank you). Whilst September did not bring the best of weather, it did not detract from a brilliant stay. A minor disappointment was the inability to benefit from the extensive views from the downstairs windows due to shrubs being overgrown plus the patio area was not prepared for use (although weather was terrible in any case). THANKS MRS REEVE (?) , you have a wonderful retreat and we recommend it to any one who wants a comfy secluded holiday.

  We stayed for four nights, but regretting not to extend our stay due to other commitment we have.

  The cottage, the swimming pool, the farm and the surrounding landscapes have exceeded our expectation and we loved everything about it. Our evening/morning walks and swims will be forever cherished. The landlord and her son lived next door to the cottage and they were beyond helpful in providing us what we need (if not found). The cottage also provided story books, table games and toys for the little ones, so time was always filled with activities and fun. Maybe I was lucky to have come in summer time, where the unheated pool always remain warm, even our little toddler enjoyed swimming there. The cottage is all about authentic traditional farm house, I loved it! but my daughter thought that a contemporary furniture would suit it more. The cottage is also close to the Gloucester Quay and its lively shopping mall, my favorite Forest of Dean where we went for cycling, laser combat and hikes.

  What a lovely welcome, and how reassuring that the cottage is absolutely spotless, as I said reassuring in these strange pandemic times, this cottage is warm, comfortable and very well equipped.

  The views are fantastic watching the sunrise and sunset. The people who own it were very friendly and welcoming, but totally unobtrusive. The lady who owns the house is very thoughtful as she kindly made me a gluten free cake being celiac . The locals were all very friendly and chatty, there are some lovely woodlands just 50yrds up the road wonderful for walking the dogs or just great for restoring your soul, I saw the buck stag several times. I loved it here it was warm quiet comfortable and as a woman on my own I felt completely safe at all times. I would recommend this place, don't hesitate to book you won't be disappointed. thank you Alan and Jane for a wonderful stay. Regards Vicky
