" Our three adult children each had a bedroom sharing the bathroom & we had the en suite bedroom. Showers in both places were good. Another review I found helpful said a family of 8, mostly adults, felt the house was spacious and comfortable with which we agree. There are two lounges, an eat in kitchen with doors out to an outdoor table for al fresco eating and a separate dining room. Also a separate utility room. Iâm copying the review I found helpful as the description is accurate. âThere is a main garden and patio area to the front of the house, and two smaller gardens to the side an rear. In addition to the TV, the house is well stocked with games and books. A 5 minute walk from the house there is a nice playground for children. The house is on the edge of Ruardean Hill; we did not hear a sound from any of the neighbours - it was so peaceful and tranquil. The entrance to the house faces open space and this adds to the privacy of the house. The house is located within the Forest of Dean, and there are many walks that can be done from the house, or with a short drive. We would happily recommend Lynton House to future guestsâ

One small electric fire was inadequate. It was lovely and warm the following day and for the rest of our stay. It was a lovely location. The forest of Dean is well worth a visit. It was a very nice house for our short family holiday.
