A great place to stay

Clive & Karen were great hosts and gave a us a great welcome. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them. The bungalow was very clean, tidy, well equipped and in very neat and tidy well kept gardens. If in that part of the country again we will definitely wish to stay there. All in all a very comfortable and quiet stay. Thank you and regards from Graham & Desiree

Excellent stay

We had a wonderful time. Clive and Kaeren were so welcoming. The grounds were beautiful and my 2 children loved playing with the toys that were provided. We also enjoyed watching the ducks that visited our front door ever morning. Thank you again!

Top class

My wife and I, our son and daughter in law and our two granddaughters stayed in August. We used the log cabin and one of the cottages. Basically, it was perfect for what we wanted. The accommodation was excellent. And, as the site is secure, the two little ones could run free in the grounds and visit the ducks and ducklings on the pond or play games on the lawns. Clive was always available for a chat or for advice about the local area - and he was great with the children. Malvern and the Forest of Dean and Cirencester are all within easy reach and - although the site is rural and very peaceful - the city of Gloucester is on the doorstep. Highly recommended.

Delightful, warm and comfortable accommodation; attentive owners and a lovely setting.

We had a lovely family holiday visiting lots of beautiful places that are so accessible from this location. From the lovely welcome to the fond farewell, the owners were on hand to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The garden and wildlife made our stay even more special. Keep feeding those ducks Clive! We would not think twice about booking this cottage again or recommending it to others.

Great accommodation in a beautiful location

The accommodation is of a high standard and the owners could not have been more friendly and welcoming. Beautiful gardens with birds and other wildlife. Lovely surroundings and within easy reach of Forest of Dean, Wye Valley, Malvern Hills and other unspoilt countryside. Would definitely visit again.
