    Nothing to not like

    The cottage was beautiful and very well equipped with everything you could need for a relaxing time away. The host was so friendly and we really couldn't have asked for more. Perfect base to explore the Forest of Dean. Needed some relaxation and that is what we got

    We stayed at the little acorn over a weekend and came away thoroughly impressed. The property is beautifully kept and was surprisingly spacious. You can see Michelle takes pride in the property and it felt recently decorated. The location is also perfect, just round the corner from the steam railway and a lovely pub. If you’re thinking about booking I couldn’t recommend it enough.

    Nothing to dislike unless you require reliable WiFi. That’s not an issue re accommodation, just the reality for the location.

    Great location in heart of Forest of Dean. It was easy to get to lots of points of interest within 20 mins by car. Right by Forest of Dean railway, pub and post office cafe. The accommodation has a separate and well-resourced kitchen and everything is very clean and cosy - including a hot water bottle! We felt at home straightaway and Michelle was a very friendly and helpful host.

    Lovely little annex, met with a smile. Comfy, homely and a great selection of teas, coffees and a lovely touch of shortbread biscuits. We know the area well and as a quick bolt last minute booking this was just what we were looking for. A lovely cafe at the end of the road serving a fab breakfast and a couple of really decent pubs also. Also like a complete idiot, left my wash bag and Michelle has kindly said she will post it back to me. Because of the location the coverage can be a bit on and off, just for information I’m with Vodafone, worked a treat, the wife EE and nothing. So be prepared .

    Tucked away in the Forest of Dean, this cosy annex was the perfect base for our walking adventures. Step outside, and you’re straight onto beautiful woodland trails. Michelle was fantastic—friendly, helpful, and full of brilliant recommendations. She made sure we had everything we needed and suggested local restaurants that did not disappoint.

    The Bed - too soft for our liking, but obviously you can't cater for all tastes. Maybe if replaced in the future, obtain a twin / double zip together bed to suit more guest profiles.

    Well equipped Studio Apartment, plenty of space, nice Power Shower.

    This is no criticism at all just a personal preference, but we found the memory foam mattress uncomfortable. However this does not reflect my ratings on this little property, it was fantastic!

    The property was clean, tidy, airy and perfect for what we needed it for. Myself and my mum had a lively stay here including heading down to the Fountain Inn for dinner. Staff were lovely there too and the food was amazing! Michelle was lovely, have a warm welcome and allowed me to park my car on the side of the rode, just outside the property.
