A wonderful family stay
A very clean and comfortable property, tastefully decorated and furnished, providing an excellent base from which to explore the Forest of Dean. We paid extra to hire a hot-tube which was enjoyed by us all. The grounds are spacious and lovely too. The fresh cakes that greeted our arrival were delicious! For those not used to living with traffic noise, the proximity to the busy, main road may be an issue, but we're used to it so it did not bother us too much. The owners were lovely and left us to it, while being close on hand had we needed them. Tracey was highly communicative in the run up to our holiday. Thanks to both Tracey and David - you have a lovely holiday home for all to enjoy.

A fabulous find!
Tracey and David have a fabulous couple of cottages set in beautifully well kept gardens. The cottage we stayed in was super clean and had everything we needed. The hot tub was a fabulous addition. The extra treats were the icing on the cake (excuse the pun!). I would highly recommend this lovely holiday hide away, it's great for all ages - and pups!

Excellent long weekend
There’s so much to like about this property. First of all we received a very warm welcome from Tracey in particular with a delicious home made cake and some nice local products. The cottage itself is very spacious, clean and is very beautifully decorated. The beds were one of the very best we ever had. With our family we had such an enjoyable and relaxing time especially because there is so much to do in the close neighbourhood of the property. We particularly enjoyed the walk to May Hill with its amazing views. We really would like to come back!!!

A lovely weekend near The Forest of Dean
My husband and myself, along with two friends have had an excellent stay at Mill Cottage. The cottage is extremely comfortable and cosy, with all of the facilities that you need for an enjoyable stay. The beds were very comfortable! The wood burner also a big plus. All finishing touches excellent! It is set in very pretty grounds and located in an ideal area for exploring The Forest of Dean. We also visited the nearby Symonds Yat which was lovely. The owners are a stones throw away and they are very welcoming and friendly people without being at all obtrusive. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Mill Cottage and plan to return sometime in the future!

Very pleasant stay in a beautiful property
The property is beautifully furnished with lovely local touches, making it very comfortable to stay in. Tracey was very accommodating even when we had changes to our party. I ended up staying on my own during the first night and Tracey was very reassuring that I could call on her if need be. The extra touches milk, bread and delicious cake along with fresh flowers were very welcome.

Cosy cottage
Very cosy cottage in idyllic surroundings. The place was well-equipped and everything was spotless and clean. Nice little extras like home-made cake, local bread and beer when we arrived was a nice surprise. We enjoyed our stay and had a couple of relaxing days :-)

Wonderful relaxing retreat
A wonderful little cottage in a lovely rural location next to a stream and rolling hills. Just off the main road so minutes away from Ross on Wye and other locations. A great autumn stay in a clean, cosy and welcoming cottage.

A lovely property and very welcoming.
We had a lovely time enhanced by good weather so we were out and about a lot ,we enjoyed evenings in with log fires,which was lovely. The cottage is quite close to a mainish road and there were lorries rumbling past during the night,but that was only a minor downside. We may return.

Amazing and would return in a heartbeat
I can not recommend this cottage enough. The welcome we received was amazing ( and a homemade cake to top it off) and the cottage is just gorgeous and has everything you could possibly need. We had an fabulous 2 night stay here which was a relaxing girlie weekend away. There is plenty to do around the area and also a small walk to the local pub for some very nice food. Overall I have no faults at all about the cottage and will be returning one day soon hopefully. Book it now if you are considering it, Just absolutely stunning.
