We had a lovely relaxing stay to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary at this beautifully presented property. Lisa and Neal were perfect hosts who had put aot of thought and effort into making the accommodation a pleasure to stay in and the countryside view were amazing. The hot tub was a welcome treat too.Very well located, We visited Symonds Yat, Monmouth and the Clearwell Caves and also had a great meal at the Dog and Muffler Inn - all highly recommended and worth visiting. We look forward to returning in the not to distant future

Wonderful wonderful wonderful
Excellent place to stay. Beautifully presented, brilliant location, all the facilities you could want. Idyllic place to unwind, relax and forget about the world and great internet speeds if you do need to keep in touch. The views are incredible and is in the doorstep of all the attractions and of course, the forest. If your lucky enough to be able to book this place, I am jealous.
This property is stunning, the craftsmanship is top class.
It is very homely, very comfortable and spacious rooms.
The views are wonderful, lovely walk to the local pub through the woods.
What made it even more special was Lisa & Neil the hosts,such warm, genuine helpful hosts who are so welcoming you feel like you have known them forever.
Thank you we shall be back
