We know the Forest Of Dean very well and we loved this cottage. There are plenty of short walks without having to drive anywhere, which is a bonus when you have dogs, but lots of places to visit by car. The cottage is extremely well equipped. I am pleased to say that I can still light a real fire after all these years but Alan didn't fare too well as the only time he tried to do it - it went out. The shower is a cracker; comfortable bed and the tiny courtyard was lovely. Amazingly have yet to make it to the pubs but we'll be back soon
