Wonderful!

Had a great time in Longhope
This is a very nice cottage in Longhope. Not far for all the Gloucestershire attractions and also not far for the Bristol and Cardiff area.
We are not British citizens and we didn't know the "Forest of Dean". Very amazing! And just in front of the door!
In the apartment was everything we need and all was very clean.
Thank you to Gillian and Chris!
Perfect for a week away
This cottage was perfect for a week away from the city! It's in an ideal location for day trips to the Forest of Dean, Wales or even to the beach (Weston Super Mare is 1hr 30 mins away) Excellent for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life for a while 😊
Excellent property and welcoming hosts.
A very well presented and equipped property. Easy access and parking. Ideal for exploring the Forest of Dean.
A beautiful, clean, roomy, comfortable holiday venue.
This venue is a treat, from its great location to its roomy, beautifully decorated and comfortable environment. All you need is here. The owners, Gillian and Chris, were there to help when needed, plus they'd supplied plenty of information about places of interest. (POI) The rooms were immaculate and extremely clean and there were a number of kitchen supplies, which were appreciated. A complete laundry added to this great holiday stay.
Great base from which to explore
We chose this on owner's direct because of the size of the living area compared to others in the same price category. We were not disappointed. It was very clean, well furnished and had everything we needed for our stay -and more. We used the apartment as a base from which to explore Monmouthshire, the Brecons and Gloucestershire and had a lovely relaxing time. The apartment was quiet despite it being close to a main road.The village has a decent pub and there are some pleasant walks, You need to use your car to drive out, but it is central to Gloucester, Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth - all of these we really liked. Some lovely local attractions too in the Forest of Dean. I would recommend Gillian and Chris' apartment as a great place to stay, to explore the area.
super cool pad, very comfy, everything you need for a holiday
took a short break for walking and sightseeing. the accommodation was easy to find and the instructions easy to follow. the owners made me welcome from the start. inside it was very clean and finished to a high standard. you have everything you need away from home. close to areas for walking and sightseeing. really enjoyed my stay.
