"Had a wonderful stay at Sevenwoods."
Sarah and Chris most welcoming and the house was great for 2 couples and a dog. The fixtures and fittings are of good quality, comfy beds, good towels and modern kitchen/bathrooms. The only small issue was the lack of storage in the bedrooms, a chest of drawers would easily solve this. We had great weather and thoroughly enjoyed sitting out with a glass of wine after a day exploring. Thanks again Sarah and Chris for making us feel so welcome.
We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay. Regards Sarah & Chris Property Owner

"This property and location are absolutely wonderful."
Would highly recommend for anyone exploring the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean. The house is equipped with everything you need and everything is to a high standard, plus our lovely host Sarah provided a delightful welcome pack. Also very good communication from our host. The views from every window are fantastic, plus the little enclosed garden with the patio is private and perfect for relaxing on a warm evening.
Thank you so much Lisa, a review like this makes all the hard work worth while. I’m delighted you liked Sevenwoods & the area. Property Owner

"Beautifully presented modern holiday cottage with 360 views."
This is a real labour of love for the host, Sarah. She takes great pride in her presentation and welcome pack and the property was pristine. Beds are comfy and showers had a good amount of pressure. Very useful having a washing machine and full size iron and board too. Storage could be a problem if you bring large suitcases, but I use the large nylon laundry bags, so they are better for the car boot space and then roll up once unpacked. One week wasn’t long enough as I could’ve stayed several weeks. Highly recommend the cottage as a base for the Forest of Dean. Thank you Sarah, you were a brilliant host!
Thank you Dawn, for your lovely feedback. It’s very kind. Really hope you’ll return again in the future, you’d be so welcome. Perfect guests! Sarah Property Owner

"A lovely well appointed compact cottage."
Very quiet despite being near a main road. The living room/kitchen upstairs is spacious with wonderful views. Great for exploring Forest of Dean and the Wye valley. Highly recommended and would stay there again.
Thanks for reviewing Sevenwoods. I’m so pleased you’d return in the future. Property Owner

"Sevenwoods View was a lovely place to stay."
It was so clean, comfortable and homely - we loved it. The 360 views were incredible and we enjoyed the surrounding area. We ate in two lovely local pubs. The only thing that would improve the cottage is maybe a sound bar for the TV to improve the sound. This is not a negative comment but purely a suggestion. The WIFI wasn't fast and kept hanging which of course is not the property owners' fault. When we left yesterday we were already planning a return visit and I have also recommended the place to my family. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your constructive & kind feedback. I was not aware the WiFi was slow so I’ll look in to that straight away, and a sound bar is a great idea! So glad you’re all thinking of coming again. Sarah Property Owner

"Excellent property, friendly and helpful owners, a really comfortable stay."
Thank you Vic. So kind of you to review. Sarah Property Owner

"We loved our stay at Sevenwoods View."
The property has beautiful views in all directions, really well maintained, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. There was fresh bread and cake waiting for us on arrival, which was a lovely touch. Lots of places to visit in the area: Forest of Dean, Symonds Yat, Puzzlewood and Tintern Abbey all worth a visit. Lovely local pubs and shops close by. Thoroughly recommended!
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Sevenwoods. We are so grateful for your lovely comments & hope you will turn again. Sarah Property Owner

"Fantastic cottage."
Clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Upside down design allows best use of the lovely views on all sides. There is a secluded patio area that would be sun trap in good weather and garden is secure for dogs and kids.
Thanks for your fab feedback. We hope you can return again in the fine weather. Regards Sarah Property Owner
-
"Great location to explore the area, lovely warm and comfortable house, upside down making most of views."

Thank you, we are delighted you liked staying at Sevenwoods. Hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

"What an amazing cottage."
It was stunning and the owners were so lovely and accommodating in every way. I am definitely staying here again and would highly recommend it. We had wine, cake, bread and all the essentials when we first arrived for us which was so thoughtful. We were also asked in advance if we had any food restrictions.
Thank you for the wonderful review. We would be delighted if you returned & we are so pleased you liked the cottage & the area. Sarah x Property Owner

"We enjoyed our stay at Seven woods view."
The property was clean and comfortable. A quirky upside down house! The owners are really nice and welcomed us with a cake and wine package kindly left for us in the kitchen when we arrived. Garden excellent and safe and enclosed for our dog.
Thank you Jayne. Glad you enjoyed your stay x Property Owner

"Great layout of modern character hill property, which takes advantage of the views on the upper floor living area."
Nicely furnished, well equipped and tastefully decorated. Friendly and helpful family owners. Plenty to see and do in the area.
Thank you Diane, that's a very kind review. It was lovely to meet you all. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay Sarah Property Owner

"Great property."
Hosts Sarah and Chris were around/contactable (as they live next door) if we needed anything. Lovely welcome pack that Sarah had taken the trouble to check for any dietary requirements. Beds and linen very comfy. Upside down configuration made most of the differing views from every window upstairs in the living area. Lovely and quiet and dark at night for great sleep. Good central spot for the Forest of Dean - walking and kayaking opportunities abound. Lots to do and see. Two good pubs to eat - The Yew Tree and Farmers Boy. Sorry that we only stayed 3 nights.
Thanks for taking the time to review our cottage. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again in the future. Sarah & chris Property Owner

"A delightful tucked away property."
Comfortable, very homely and well decorated throughout. The views are amazing; lots of lovely walks nearby both on foot and by car. Local shop and an amazing bakery a short walking distance away. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit with our Spaniel and will be booking again.
This is lovely to hear. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. See you again soon! Property Owner

"So lovely. As soon as we stepped in the door it was so homely."
Bedrooms on the ground floor then walk upstairs to the amazing living room. All 4 windows have a different view of the country side different view in every window just amazing. The high ceilings in the living room make it so cosy. Nothing you will want for as every thing is there. If you want to relax it has a lovely outdoor space where you can just chill out. So clean and tidy perfect place to stay. Visiting my son and his girlfriend in Gloucester just 20 minutes away perfect location if you want to just chill from all the hustle and bustle. Perfect to get to everywhere. My dog just relaxed from the minute we got there so safe for you dogs. I cannot recommend this enough perfect for a relaxing holiday. Sarah and Chris were so welcoming. Definitely coming back here on our next visit. The pictures don’t do it justice it’s so much better.
How lovely - thank you. We were so glad to meet you all, albeit briefly. And we are delighted you enjoyed your stay & liked the cottage. Look forward to your return in the future. Sarah & Chris Property Owner

"We were looking for a short break over Easter in the Forest of Dean to do some walking and cycling."
After a bit of searching for a nice dog friendly, modern property in a good location, we found Sevenwoods View. Nestled in a quiet (albeit steep) country lane in the village of Longhope, was a new holiday home offering wonderful views of the countryside from it's reverse arranged living accommodation (bedrooms downstairs and lounge/kitchen/diner upstairs). This worked well for many reasons including countryside views, ease of washing the dog after muddy walks, and a light and airy feeling to the lounge due to the open roof void. Sevenwoods View is finished to a very high standard, and it felt like a real home from home, with an open plan living area that somehow felt really cosy. Was just the right space to chill out in at the end of an active day. It's clear that a great deal of though has gone into this property to make it a place that guests can really relax in. It's very peaceful there too. No passing traffic due to it's location, and you can see the sunrise and sunset from the wonderful panoramic views from the living area. Before, during, and after our stay, the communications with Sarah and Chris (the owners) was excellent. Sarah really did go out of her way to make sure that we had a comfortable stay. Both Sarah and Chris are really lovely people. On our arrival, there was a lovely welcome pack of cakes and bread etc. catering to our vegan diet - a really thoughtful gesture - thank you :-) If you are looking for a relaxing space to stay, run by lovely people, with pleasant country walks, a fabulous bakery just a stones throw away, and easy access by car to wonderful Forest walks and cycle rides, do not hesitate to book a break at Sevenwoods View. We will be planning a long weekend there again soon, and already know that we will be guaranteed a very warm welcome by Sarah and Chris (and Rio the dog!).
What a kind and quite honestly, humbling review. Thank you. Chris and I are delighted you, your family and of course Benji enjoyed your stay. And hope to see you all again in the future. Property Owner
