    Hillside Hideaway is a fantastic, cosy cottage in a great location for exploring the local area. Gloucester, the Forest of Dean and the Welsh boarder are a short drive away, with the Cotswold also within reach at around 1hr/90minute drive (depending on where you want to visit). The cottage has amazing views from the balcony and offers a tranquil, relaxing setting. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

    Lovely cottage but it is very small. Generous welcome pack and owner was very quick to reply to a query we had. Directions to local walk from the cottage on chestnut hill would have been helpful
