The Granary is a charming and well-located cottage, praised for its cleanliness, welcoming hosts, and excellent access to the Forest of Dean and local amenities. Guests particularly enjoyed the hot tub and found the property cosy and well-equipped for families and dog owners. While some mentioned minor maintenance issues and a lack of privacy due to shared spaces, the overall experience was positive, with many guests keen to return and recommend the property.
Most guests found the cottage very clean and well-presented, with only a couple of isolated comments about sofa covers and towels needing attention.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the Forest of Dean, local walks, and amenities, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable and homely, though some noted soft beds, creaky stairs, and occasional noise from neighbouring properties.
The hot tub is a standout feature, and the cottage is well-equipped for self-catering. Some guests mentioned dated kitchen equipment and minor maintenance issues, but overall facilities were appreciated.
Hosts were frequently described as welcoming, helpful, and responsive. While no gifts or welcome packs were mentioned as standard, guests felt well looked after, though such extras are not guaranteed.

We had an enjoyable holiday at the Granary. Lots to do in the area. The cottage is very attractive and was excellent value for money so I would recommend it. Overall I would say it is tired and some updates to towels and kit hen equipment would be welcome. The house is fully glazed front and back which normally would be lovely but we were there during a heatwave and it did become very hot. Hot tub is a nice extra.

Lovely accommadation other than the very noisy 3 steps st the top.of the stairs.Girl in the house next door was really noisy a couple of times with shouting and loud music.Hot tub said it was private but was actullay shared with others. You book a time slot to use it. On our last night booked it ftim 9 till 10 as others had booked 7.30 till 8.30. When we went to use the hit tub the owner had let out the water, so we were unable to use it.
