Would definitely recommend

Beautiful cottage. Spotlessly clean, comfy beds. Perfect location for local attractions.

There was nothing nearby, you had to drive to get to shops or somewhere to eat or a coffee shop. The table in the kitchen was a bit cosy for 3, one person was very tall and one less mobile Stairs are quite steep so need to be mindful if with young kids os someone who may struggle greeting up them. The bathroom does feel a bit exposed to the rest of the house, so may not feel 100% private

It had everything we needed and was informed a great location to get to other places. Comms from the owner was clear and quick. Was clean and felt pleasant and comfortable. Was a bit quirky but in a good sense Would definitely recommend

Everything we needed for a short stay was available at the cottage.

Shower was quite temperamental and can get very hotl, but worked out that on Eco mode it was fine.

Great little place to stay near to forest of dean. Had everything we needed and nice touch like tea/coffee, packet of biscuits and some milk in the fridge. You do need to jump in the car to go to Cinderford (few miles away) for anything (tesco, lidl, pubs, takeaways) as not a lot in Ruardean.

Cottage is cosy, comfortable and well equipped. The location was great for attending pottery course at Ruardean Garden Pottery, which is a five minute walk. Ruardean is very quiet - you need to drive to neighbouring towns and villages to find shops or pub.

Cute garden just needed to be a little neater with its outdoor bits and bobs and the grass was too long. Think an update on the sofa maybe required .. this item was the only item that was not enjoyed during our stay.

Great location and the cottage had everything you needed for an enjoyable stay.

The location was a little disappointing; no local pub and generally short of amenities; you need a car to get about for sightseeing, shopping and eating/drinking. That said the village of Ruardean is well placed for accessing a wide range of activities within the Forest of Dean.

Lovely well-equipped cottage with a homely feel and lovely decor. The introduction pack supplied by the host covered all the necessary information which was so useful. Very clean and lots of toiletries and other sundries was a welcome bonus. We found nothing to dislike in relation to the accommodation which was economically priced.

I tried the heating but even with it on it was still quite cold. And couldn’t get the fire going.

The atmosphere was nice and quaint. Good rooms and thoughtfully placed towels and other items

What a beautiful place to stay. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable, charming wooden furniture and all apliances needed to make your stay more comfortable. We used the wood burner the two nights and played some of the board games provided. Best place to stay, I higly recommend it.

Lack of parking and lack of logs

Beautifully clean and well equipped

The bathroom was a bit on the small side.

A comfortable and well equipped property in a great location for exploring the Forest of Dean area.

Only two issues were really encountered. The first was that the freezer box in the fridge was full of ice and to fit in the frozen items I had brought with me I had to defrost the freezer. I managed to remove enough ice to fit my frozen food in however the freezer would benefit a defrost. The second minor issue was the cutlery. There was lots of spoons but not enough forks. This was fine for myself and my daughter however could cause issues for any more folk.

The location of the cottage relative to the Forest of Dean and the wye valley was excellent. The house was very comfortable and clean and the toilet seat with the integrated child seat was an excellent touch that my 3 year old loved.

The second bedroom is definitely a kids room with a small single bed but that was fine for us! 3 adults (1 couple, and grown up daughter)

The cottage is a true home from home and has everything to make the stay comfortable and snug. The kitchen is well equipped and the decore is lovely throughout. There are maps and info for things to do in the area. The cottage is easy to find and parking isn't an issue - there's plenty just around the corner. The garden is a little sun trap in the morning, perfect for breakfast outside at the patio table and the sofas, beds etc all very comfortable.

The owner had put some food in the fridge and kitchen. Very. thoughtful. In the lounge, there was a pile of brochures about things to see and do I the area. Lots of care has been taken in making this a good place to stay.
