Guests say
The Lambing Shed is a well-received cottage offering comfort, ample space, and a prime location for exploring the Forest of Dean and surrounding areas. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, ample parking, and the property's cleanliness. The farm setting provides a charming backdrop, with the presence of sheepdogs and horses adding to the experience. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Reviews consistently mention the property as clean and well-maintained, with only one review noting minor issues with bleach stains on towels. The high standard of cleanliness contributes to the property's appeal.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the Forest of Dean, local amenities, and attractions. It serves as an excellent base for exploring South Wales and nearby towns, with the only drawback being some difficulty in finding the property via Satnav.
Guests find the property comfortable, with plenty of room and cosy furnishings. However, some guests mention that the en-suite shower is small for taller individuals and the single beds may be noisy, which slightly affects the comfort score.
The property is well-equipped with kitchen appliances, a log burner, and a private patio. However, there are comments about the need for better quality bedding, a more durable frying pan, and matching crockery, indicating room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience with the owners and mention quick responses to requests, there is no specific mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

Lovely comfortable property with plenty of room for 4 people. Added benefit of the 2 bathrooms. Lots of parking which is always appreciated. Lovely to watch the sheepdogs playing in the farm yard and the horses being taken out for exercise. Plenty of dishes, cutlery and pans, so didn’t need to keep washing up or using the dishwasher. Would definitely return again.

Fabulous 2 bedroom cottage, well equipped, clean and a lovely homely cottage. Owners are lovely people. Good base for visiting places in the area and we went to Oxford and Stratford upon Avon which were both about 1 hour 30 minutes from cottage. We have now stayed at all 3 properties on this farm and we love each cottage all different but all nice.
