"Lynton House is spacious, modern, and well maintained."
We were a family of 8, mostly adults, and we felt the house was spacious and comfortable with plenty room to spare. There are two lounges, an eat in kitchen and a separate dining room. There is a separate utility room. One of the bedrooms is en-suite. There is a main garden and patio area to the front of the house, and two smaller gardens to the side an rear. In addition to the TV, the house is well stocked with games and books. A 5 minute walk from the house there is a nice playground for children, and a football pitch open to the public, which was an added bonus. The house is on the edge of Ruardean Hill; we did not hear a sound from any of the neighbours - it was so peaceful and tranquil. The entrance to the house faces open space and this adds to the privacy of the house. The house is located within the Forest of Dean, and there are many walks that can be done from the house, or with a short drive. Elaine is a wonderful host, and we would happily recommend Lynton House to future guests.
Dear Rafael, Thank you so very much for your lovely feedback and taking the time to write about the house and the surrounding area to help other guests. It was a pleasure to have you and your lovely family stay and I’m thrilled you had a great time. Family holidays are important and as a holiday let owner I want families to go away with happy memories. You will , of course, be very welcome to return at any time. Kind regards Elaine Property Owner

"We had a lovely week here meeting up with family in the Forest of Dean."
The owner met us when we had settled in and gave us a helpful safety talk and general information about the area. We visited Cheltenham, Raglan Castle, Hereford Cathedral with its ancient artefacts, Brockhampton National Trust and walks nearby. The house was well kept and quiet which is partly why we chose it. We would recommend it to future guests.
Hello Diana, Thank you for giving feedback and you certainly packed a lot into your visit highlighting that there are some lovely places to visit a short drive from the cottage. Best wishes Elaine Property Owner

"We had a wonderful week in the forest of dean!"
The cottage was spacious, comfortable and very good value for money! Elaine and Roger were very welcoming. We had a problem with one of the radiators and they arranged for it to be fixed straight away. The location was perfect for visiting many of the attractions on offer. We enjoyed Perrygrove (steam train), Puzzlewood, Beechenhurst (walking trails and visitors centre), Hopewell Colliery, Clearwell Caves. We also went on a great walk directly from the house (which we found in a book of walks in the comprehensive information provided!). On a rainy day we went to the cinema in Cinderford which was like stepping back in time! We also made use of the puzzles & games! Great takeaways and pubs just a short drive away. Thank you Elaine and Roger
Hi Annabel, Thank you very much for the positive feedback. It really is appreciated. The Forest of Dean is a great place for a family holiday and you certainly made the most of it ! Thanks again and hope to see you again one day. Kind regards Elaine and Roger Property Owner

"A lovely cottage in the Forest of Dean close to many attractions."
Elaine greeted us with a very warm welcome on our arrival. The photos on Sykes website don't do it justice with the property having more space than shown and easily accommodated us, a group of 7 adults without being on top of each other. The TV room has 2 2-seater sofas and the other living room has a larger sofa and 2 armchairs with the dining room off of it. This has a bigger table suitable for playing board games whilst we used the kitchen diner for our meals, a great space to socialise whilst cooking. The patio is just outside the kitchen diner and it was great to sit out on occasion when the weather was dry.
Thank you very much for this positive feedback. I'm so glad you enjoyed the cottage and had a great time with your family. Property Owner

Had a great time - the photos don't do this house justice, it's really lovely and was even decorated for Christmas. So comfortable, warm and well equipped. Thank you for a wonderful stay x

Great outside space. The owner Elaine was very obliging and made us feel very comfortable and welcome!
-
"This is a lovely house in a great location."
Everything we needed to feel at home. Plenty of room for us all. Our granddaughter loved playing in the garden. Personally, we would prefer larger ( and maybe thicker) bath towels. We chose to sleep in the bedroom with en suite but on hindsight might not have been the best choice as there wasn’t enough storage space for us - but to be fair, we don’t travel lightly! The other members of the party had more than enough space though. The other issue was no coffee machine, but overcame that by bringing our own. Would definitely stay here again though.

"Fantastic hosts, fantastic house, fantastic location, holiday was fantastic."

Didn’t want to leave, always a sign of a good holiday.

"We had a fantastic break at Lynton House!"
We had a lovely welcome from the owner and a nice bottle of wine! We went as a group of 3 friends for a relaxing weekend of walking, fresh air, nice food and a catch up in the chaos of 2020. The cottages was great - ideal for a group of friends or a couple of families to meet. There are 2 lounge areas and a nice, cosy dining section at the back. The kitchen diner was great for chatting while cooking and breakfast. The rooms are nicely furnished and comfy beds and bedding. Access to walks and bike rides in the Forest of Dean is right on the doorstep, so it's great for getting outside. A really lovely break, thank you!

"We were all very happy with Lynton House it was very spacious and exactly what we expected from reading the literature - ideal for 8 people and a 7 month old baby."
Elaine and Roger made us feel very welcome and gave us a few pointers on the house and area.
-
"Lovely, spacious accommodation and very friendly hosts."
The house was very conveniently situated for all activities in the Forest of Dean, and there were good walks from the house. An amazing variety of games for wet days were available.
-
"A very comfortable and well equipped cottage with a large garden."
The children loved playing hide and seek as the garden was in sections around three sides of the house. We also took an early evening walk into the adjacent forest and saw for the first time a family of wild boar.

"Cottage was lovely and homely."
We were 3 families under one roof and didn't feel cramped. Only wish we could have stayed longer than a weekend.
-
"We had a great time, the house was lovely and we'll equipped with board games."
There was lots of helpful information on the local area. The cottage was homely and comfortable with lovely views. Our only very small suggestion would be to provide some larger towels, dishwasher tablets and to cut back the foliage on the path to the house as we struggled to get bags in and out without getting wet from the hedges. These are minor points as our stay was delightful, thank you.
-
"Fabulous cottage, lovely location, topped by brilliant weather."
Had a really relaxing break with everything you could need from a holiday cottage. Bottle of bubbles so thoughtful for my birthday weekend with friends. Would definitely recommend the cottage and will definitely return.
-
"Great spacious house with everything we needed (4adults and 4 children)."
Plenty of activities and places to go locally and more all within an hour. Fabulous childrens park a short walk away too.
-
"Good location with garden to three sides, therefore plenty of space for the grandchildren to run around."
The house was very comfortable and we used every room.
-
"On arrival the front garden was lit up with Christmas lights."
A very warm welcome. Once inside the house was also decorated very nicely with Christmas decs. This was a big bonus as we were having a family Christmas get together. The space in the house was perfect(the kids loved playing hide and seek). The kitchen area is a fantastic place to socialise and enjoy looking out onto the garden. You can find everything you need in the kitchen this really was a home from home very well equipped cottage I would definitely recommend staying here.we hope to book again in the summer.

2 reception rooms were so useful for us and the local area was beautiful

"Wonderful cottage in a lovely location."
The photos really don’t do this beautiful house justice. We have just come back from spending a week here and loved every second. The house is very spacious and homely, with lots of thought going into the comfort of the guests, it has a beautiful garden which again has lots of space. We were 2 families staying together and never once felt like we were tripping over each other. There is a fantastic selection of books and board games if like us you end up spending a very rainy day indoors and there’s plenty to do if you are happy to drive away from the location. There isn’t much to do in the village itself but we found lots of things locally and further afield to keep the children entertained. All in all a fantastic location for a lovely holiday, we would highly recommend this cottage to anyone considering the Forest of Dean for their getaway
