Great little treat and very relaxing

The Snug was great for the two of us, well laid out, exceptionally clean with all the facilities you could hope for. Our hosts were friendly and nearby, should we have needed them. We'd highly recommend the property and it's location. We appreciated the welcome treats, thank you.

The Perfect Snug

Superb property, great welcome. Just across the road from the birthday party we were attending, we were lucky to book it before any other members of our family! Highly recommended - good centre for exploring the beautiful countryside, with plenty of great farm shops for a coffee break. Hope to return.

Spacious Property for Two

This is a great property well located to explore the forest of Dean. Plenty of space for two. Bedroom and living area are huge, loads of storage space. We only spent a couple of nights but would work as a Long term let. 2 pubs in short walking distance, 12 mins to a medium sized Tesco
