  • "We had a relaxing and comfortable week with lovely views from all rooms up the lake."

    We don’t have Smart TV so information on how to use would have helped. A couple of boards on decking trip hazard but once aware where they where was no problem. In general we had a great week and would love to come back. Thank you. Best wishes.

  • "Phocle Lodge is a very nice tranquil place to visit."

    Beautiful views and the fishing was excellent! The new separate room with shower room was great for my dad to have his own privacy. Lovely wildlife to see and plenty of space around us. Only critique is that we always look for "no pets allowed" as we suffer pet allergies but we found some dog hairs and also discovered dogs bowls in the cupboard so this was misleading on the sykes website.

  • "A lovely high quality, spacious lodge with everything we needed."

    The site is immaculate and a lovely place to stay. The view from the front veranda across the lake is just great. If you like fishing its a must visit. It is a great location with Ross nearby and easy access to Forest of Dean. There is also a great food pub (Moody Cow) just down the road. We have already booked to return.

  • "We had a wonderful stay over Christmas at this beautiful lodge ."

    The view over the lake is simply beautiful with surrounding nature scenery. It’s a quiet tranquil location and very peaceful. Cosy homey atmosphere in cottage - just what we wanted as a family at Christmas time and in winter . It’s spacious and fully equipped with facilities to cook and spending time in this cottage with feeling trapped in . Interior Decor of the cottage is really on high standard and well chosen colours to be a pleasure on the eyes. The owners welcomed us so friendly with a bottle of mulled wine , box of mince pies and xmas card on kitchen counter . It smelled so lovely inside and heating was already upon arrival . Forrest of Dean , Clearwell caves and Symonds yat Rock is astonishing sites to visit and only under or about 30min drive from the lodge. Will definitely want to go back in another season . Thank you , from the O’Riordan family
