Beautifully and thoughtfully designed, with lot of nice little touches that add the extra little luxury factor - things that certainly aren't critical, but do add a llittle touch - coffee pod machine, bluetooth speak for music etc. The bed is incredibly comfortable and the hot tub is a fabulous way to relax after a days exploring...even in the rain! All in all we had a wonderful stay, far too short, but there's only so long you can leave the children to fend for themselves. We will back!

After contacting host, the issue was dealt with very professionally and put right... The hot tub was also a bit low of water depth and the water was not heating to a good temperature again this was dealt with great efficiency and within a good timely manner.. The Stable is very cosy and private allowing you to unwind and recharge your batteries. The Stable is in a great place to allow you to explore all the beautiful surroundings of the Forest of Dean and then return to the tranquility of The Stable at the end of the day to relax and enjoy the nature that surrounds it. The hot tub was of course an added bonus
