Perfect
This cottage is perfect for us.
Clean, comfortable and spacious
The cottage was excellent value, well located for exploring the Forest of Dean and the owners were welcoming but not intrusive.
Would recommend.
Clean, comfortable and just what we required.
Good base for exploring the area. Quiet roads for cycling and several 'bus routes pass nearby.
Excellent bakery within walking distance.
Accommodation suited us perfectly. Owners considerate and helpful.
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 😊
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!
