Great stay at the Forest of Dean

Really comfortable stay at Well house cottage. Cottage was very clean, had everything you needed. Attention to detail was amazing! Very close to the Forest of Dean. Quiet, sleepy village. One of our favourite cottages we’ve stayed at!

Cosy weekend

Myself, partner and 8yr old are just back from 2 nights in the cottage. We didn’t do much locally, but it was perfect for a cosy weekend in with lots of relaxation, board games and nice food. The cottage is even lovelier than the online listing with cute decor throughout and everything you would need in terms of kitchen utensils, bedding, towels etc. My daughter would like to live there! Would definitely go back at a sunnier time of year to make the most of the attractions nearby.

Perfect for our family of 3

We had a lovely stay here (2 adults and a 4 year old). Plenty of space to relax and everything you could possibly need - even OS maps which is so useful! Beds were comfy and we pleased to have blackout curtains which so many holiday homes don't! Warm and cosy and very clean throughout. Fantastic view from the front bedroom (it would be good to switch the bed around to make the most of it while sipping a morning cuppa). Great location for exploring FoD. We didn't explore the village but it is in a lovely rural setting. Would love o stay here again, very good value foe money.

Die Unterkunft war sehr gemütlich, sehr gut ausgestattet und gut gelegen, sodass man viele schöne Ausflüge von dort starten konnte. Alle Zimmer, Bad, Küche, Bettwäsche, Handtücher waren sauber und wir haben uns wie zuhause gefühlt. Der Check-In war über eine Schlüsselbox problemlos und unkompliziert und ein Parkplatz war immer sehr nah ohne Probleme zu finden. Die Kommunikation mit Hannah war immer sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Uns hat es rundum gefallen und wir haben überhaupt nichts Negatives zu berichten. Wir wären gerne noch länger geblieben und würden die Unterkunft definitiv wieder buchen.
