Property was in a nice location ideal for visiting The Forest of Dean and surrounding area. Found nice area within walking distance for walking the dog before we continued with our daily exploring.

"Enjoyed our stay in the Annex, everything we needed, nice and close to the forest."
And very comfortable. Helen & Jeremy were very helpful. The only thing I would say is it took a quite a time to find it,as it is actually off to the back of the property.
-
"A lovely apartment with everything you need to hand."
Lots to do in the area. Some good walks from the door, especially up to Littledean Road which has amazing views of the Severn Valley. We hope to return.

"Helen and Jeremy were very welcoming and helpful."
The location is perfect and less than a 10 minute drive to various walks in the forest of Dean which was perfect for me and my dog Max. my only negative feedback would be that although it was generally clean the attention to detail on the cleaning was not there, however this wouldn't stop me staying again in the future. I'm already looking at booking again this year :)
Thank you for your feedback Leanne. We are very sorry to hear that the cleaning was not up to our usual high standards. I would be very grateful if you could be more specific on what was not cleaned properly and I will look into it as we always check the Annexe after the cleaner has been in. We will look forward to seeing you again soon. Helen & Jeremy Charlton-Wright. Property Owner

"We spent Christmas in the annexe and had a lovely, relaxing week staying there."
The weather was bad so we spent a lot of time in the annexe and were very comfortable. The weather did allow us one day walking in the Forest where we followed the Sculpture Trail and we had a lovely meal in the White Heart another day. Helen and Jeremy were very helpful, making sure we knew how to work the cooker, etc. Lovely, comfy, firm bed. Our dog enjoyed playing with one or two treats they left for her before eating them. She is small and thinks larger treats are toys.

"This was the perfect spot for me and my two spaniels to explore the forest of Dean."
Ground floor location with every thing we needed down to the doggie treats and the enclosed area for the dogs to escape outside to occasionally. Helen and Jeremy were perfect, being friendly Ann accessible living above the property, but leaving me to myself at the right times. Brilliant find
Thank you very much for your lovely words and we hope you’ll visit us again sometime. Helen & Jeremy Property Owner

"Very clean property with one of the best equipped kitchens we have seen."
Lack of natural light because of the design of the building but plenty of ceiling lights helped to make up for that. Doggy treats & bowls provided which was useful as we forgot ours! Owners friendly & helpful but not intrusive
Thank you so much for your kind feedback and hope you'll visit us again soon. Helen & Jeremy Property Owner

"We enjoyed our stay and the hosts were very welcoming."
The property provided everything we needed for our stay, in a beautiful location.
-
"Great little place to stay with some lovely touches (cider and Welsh cakes for us."
Chews and biscuits for the dog!). Didn’t seem much in the town but ideal location to explore a beautiful part of the country.
-
"Jeremy and Helen most welcoming."
Annexe is ideal for 2 and is safe for a dog which was useful. Location is an excellent base for exploring nearby Forest of Dean.
-
"Our stay in the Annexe was very comfortable we had everything we needed for our weeks holiday, the Annexe was clean and in a good location we had a parking space which was just for the Annexe guests."
We enjoyed our stay and will certainly be planning to go again.
-
"Has a wonderful stay and the hosts made us feel very welcomed."
The cottage is everything you need for your stay. Lots of useful information of what to do . They even caterer for your dog with beds, bowls and treats. Such a lovely touch. Would stay again if we were to visit the area again.
-
"Owners were lovely, friendly but not intrusive."
Outside space for the dog was secure with room to sit outside and enjoy a drink. Location to the Forest of Dean was fantastic with easy access to the road network for the other areas we visited.
-
"Where to start?"
The annex is so well thought through with everything you could possibly need, even our 2 dogs were catered for with treats and toys to play with. It has a very safe outside space so you can relax knowing that your furbabies can't wonder off. It also has sky TV and movies for in the evenings after a long day exploring. It's within 5mins drive to a beautiful aboretum that you can leave your dogs of lead to run free but safe. There are pubs around but we didn't make it out in the evenings to tired! We did visit Tintern Abbey and there was a beautiful family-friendly and dog friendly pub there also in the little village craft centre. Anyway we would definitely stay with Helen and Jeremy again as they're brilliant hosts who even left us Cider and welsh cakes!
-
"Helen and Jeremy met us as we drove in and made us most welcome."
We viewed the property and were extremely impressed with the cleanliness and the high standard of equipment and fittings. The bedroom was warm and comfortable, the dining room/sitting room was well furnished (the leather sofa is being replaced) the toilet/shower room and kitchenette were more than adequate. To sum up, Clean, Warm, Comfortable and the owners could not have been more kind.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Annexe."
It was clean and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. Everything we needed for our week in the Forest of Dean. A small seating area outside to relax and enjoy the view. We can't comment about dog facilities as we didn't use them . We only met the hosts,Helen and Jeremy on the last two days as they were away but they were very friendly. The welcome gift of Welsh cakes and cider was much appreciated. There's plenty to do in the area without travelling too far. Lovely walks close by, Chepstow, Monmouth, Ross on Wye a number of castles and Dean Forest railway . Thank you for a lovely stay.
-
"Surpassed our expectations."
Location of the property in Cinderford was ideal for exploring the Forest of Dean, the Wye Valley and the Cotswolds. The property was exceptionally clean and the hosts Jeremy & Helen were always on hand. The little "treats" were much appreciated: Milk & Cider in the fridge when we arrived. Also Welsh Cakes. Our dog loved the "doggy" corner. Treats and toys. Would certainly recommend. - Karen, Chris & "Diesel" (Horwich, Bolton.)
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments. We are very happy that you all had a great holiday exploring the areas around us and enjoyed the comfort of the annexe and we hope you will come again soon. Helen & Jeremy and Alfie Property Owner

"Just spent an enjoyable week at the annexe."
Helen and Jeremy were very attentive hosts without being intrusive. Our dog , Winnie , was grateful for the thoughtful treats left for her, as were we for the human gifts (milk, Welsh cakes, & cider). The annexe is well situated for day trips out, amongst our favourites were Bourton on the Water in the Cotswolds, Abergavenny in wales and Redrook on the English/Welsh border. We would definitely recommend this property.
-
"We had to leave early because I became unwell."
The couple who own the annex are very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The cottage is ideal for 2 for a week and close to the Forest of Dean which is beautiful. Also just a 10 minute drive away is a lovely hotel called The Speech House which we visited twice in our short stay, once for coffee and cake taken in the Orangery and one evening for a relaxing pint. Highly recommended as it is a lovely old building with very friendly staff. There are several good places to visit such as Ross on Wye, Monmouth and Gloucester. We also visited tbe beautiful church of St. Mary's in Fownhope for their flower festival, which was an absolute delight. Three small negatives regarding the cottage. I have a very limited diet so take all my own food on holiday and there is no cupboard in the small kitchen to store food. A good fridge freezer and cooker and everything else one needs but a food cupboard would help. The shower would gradually fill with water because the hair trap needed cleaning. And Cinderford is a narrow, hilly town so driving can be difficult and finding the cottage on arrival was a bit difficult but was overcome by phoning the owner. Don't let it put you off though as the small garden is ideal for relaxing in and it has beautiful views.
Thank you Diane for your feedback. Jeremy and I hope you feeling better and we're sorry you had to leave earlier than expected. We have decided to remove the Coffee percolator out of one of the small 3/4 cupboards that are available to use for food items. My cleaner is aware to ensure the shower plug is clean at all times as we try to keep to a high standard and this will be addressed. Many thanks Helen & Jeremy Property Owner

"A lovely base for our stay, exactly as described, well equipped and dog friendly with easy access."
Helen and Jeremy were very welcoming and helpful. We just found the bed a bit on the low side but no major issues, in fact the duvet was actually generous in size. Many thanks for a restful week.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the annexe,the Jeremy and Helen were so welcoming and helpful and it was a perfect base for so many places of interest as well as having everything you needed on the doorstep!"
-
"Absolutely wonderful stay!"
And really lovely hosts too
-
"We found the property to be very cosy and clean."
It was very well appointed having everything you would need for a lovely break away. The power shower was the best we have ever experienced. The little extras such as the ciders, water bottles, milk, tea, coffee and biscuits were also a bonus. The little extras for the dog, such as, a chew, dog biscuits, poo bags, toys and a bed, were also an added bonus. The location was great, being a short drive to various attractions and walks within the Forest of Dean. We had a lovely meal in the White Hart Inn just down the road from the property. Finally, the owner Jeremy, greeted us warmly and made sure we understood how to operate all the appliances, such as the SkyQ box, heating and oven, etc. All in all, we had a great stay and would highly recommend it.Thank you.
Thank you Jackie for your lovely feedback and you had a lovely stay. We hope to see you again in the near future. Property Owner

"The hosts had thought of everything you need to enjoy your holiday, there was even toys and treats for the dog."
The annex was situated in a central position to visit the area.
-
"We enjoyed our stay, the owners came to meet us, and were very nice."
We thought the accommodation was very well laid out and very well kept. The accommodation was also well equipped. Personally, I would be replacing the sofa, as the seats are very low, also the mattress, as it is on the verge of uncomfortable. I would recommend this accommodation.

Outside patio areas an added bonus as lovely sun trap and very comfortable and peaceful.
