Brookbank Folly is an absolute gem.
It is cosy, comfortable and a great base from which to explore. The bed and sofa are both extremely comfortable, coupled with the silence and zero light pollution it was easy to relax and get a great night's sleep. The garden is a suntrap and I loved sitting out listening to the birds. Richard and Sue are friendly but not intrusive and I loved the daily visits from Audrey one of their dogs. Fresh milk and a welcome hamper upon arrival, as well as local pub recommations and a basket of leaflets giving info on attractions and walking routes was a nice touch. You can go for a wander in the woods behind Brookbank Cottage & Folly and you can go the long way to St Anthony's well, walk down the road. A couple of things to be aware of; Jubilee Road is single track and tarmacked, but if you turn right out of the gate and contine along to Spout Lane it turns into an extremely rutted, quite narrow track with one quite deep hole. Would recommend using Jubilee Road if you have a small car that wouldn't cope with that type of terrain. Wi-fi is good but there is little to no phone signal and the fridge has a tiny icebox which doesn't hold much more than an ice cube tray. The tv has streaming services which you will need to log into - a bonus when you want to relax after a long day of exploring! Brookbank Folly - a total delight and I'd love to go back!

Booking through Sykes was a very smooth and simple process.
Contacting the owner was straightforward. The owner was friendly, polite and helpful, and the bottle of wine and other goodies on arrival was a nice touch, as were the Christmas decorations. The cottage was clean, comfortable and adorably quirky, and tea, coffee, soap, towels, etc were all provided, almost like a hotel. Plenty of heating was available so it was nice and warm. There are local shops for essentials, and a petrol station. No internet/wifi and next to no mobile signal meant we were out of contact (very peaceful once you are used to it!); and probably due to bad weather, there was some variable reception on some tv channels. The folly is down a long narrow track on the side of a hill, in a secluded part of the owner's garden. Accessibility: There is a narrow gravel path down a slope from the car park space then up to the property, probably 20-30 yards, and in all there are then four steps up when you get there. Low doorways in places so taller people need to stoop to avoid headaches. Quite a narrow gate on the way in, might be a squeeze with a big car. The owner has a couple of friendly dogs who come and say hello now and again. Mitcheldean and other local towns are pretty ordinary, but the property is very close to the Forest of Dean.

Well what can we say, on first seeing the cottage as we arrived and then opening the door and entering, it took our breath away!
, it was amazing so much better in reality than the pictures on line, the owners were first class and extremely helpful, even the sat nav took us straight to the gate!, the cottage was lovely and comfortable, so quirky, really quiet well except wildlife, an occasional car or tractor, everything you need was readily available, sharp knives to all your pots and pans and bathroom stocked with soaps and shampoo, oh and the milk and biscuits was welcomed, biscuits were lovelly and well received, so much to see and do, the Farmers Boy Inn, do the best Sunday roast, it was the best place to go for our week of respite as we care for two of our Grandchildren at 15 and 12, we sometimes need a break lol, love you really kids lol, ideal place to unwind and chill, will we be going back?, oh yes we most certainly will.

Brookbank Folly is a wonderful Hobbit house of high quality and attention to detail.
Very comfortable in every way with high quality items left for our use. Lovely large China mugs for the tea and real coffee bags provided. John Freida shampoo and conditioner among other items in the warm and spacious bathroom. Individual electric blankets in the comfortable double bed. The welcome basket of goodies included milk, wine, cereals and delicious dark chocolate ginger biscuits and a lovely large vase of flowers which were still going strong after our weeks stay. We have already shared information about this secluded gem of a cottage with friends and we certainly hope to return .The Forest of Dean is a treasure of a national forest park with Brookbank as it's hidden jewel. Thank you Richard and Sue we had a marvellous time!

Cute little cottage in a peaceful area.
The owners were knowledgeable about things to do out and about, thereâs was also a handy notebook in the property which they had written local places to eat that offered good food. They had thought of everything, there was also a welcome hamper on the table which included a nice bottle of wine, biscuits and preserves. Although you are within the owners garden it was sectioned off so that it was private to you and they were very respectful of our privacy. Audrey, their dog, made the occasional visit, they had checked beforehand that we would be ok with this, she was a very good girl and would only come over the doorstep if invited.
