Lilly Cottage Reviews

This was our third stay in this great cottage warm, comfortable and well equipped. Great location for walking in the Forest.
Elaine
Beautiful, comfortable cottage, with everything you need. Comfy bed, great fire for when youve been in the hot tub after a great walk! Great Walks from doorstep as well as some lovely places to visit within a 2030 minute car journey!

A gorgeous cottage tucked away in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire. Clean and cosy. Hospitable hosts. Amazing location. The icing on the cake was the use of the hot tub. Could not recommend it high enough 1010 5 star rating.
We've been to Lilly Cottage before and wouldn't hesitate to go back. We love the location, the cottage is perfect and to have the hot tub to come back to after a day of walking is the best. The cottage is beautifully maintained and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and family.
A wonderful cosy cottage in a great location. Really helpful hosts who were available when we needed them. Walks on the doorstep and a friendly local pub within walking distance with excellent food. Lots of great places to visit within the area.
Our second stay at Lilly cottage and it was just as wonderful as the first. We met Matt one of the owners who was lovely and talked to my partner about cars which he thoroughly enjoyed. The fire and hot tub were lovely and the bed extremely comfortable. We will be back again!
Andrew
Lovely cottage, well equipped with high quality fixtures, fittings and pots and pans. Comfortable king sized bed. Very private and quiet. Walks from your doorstep. What's not to like? Even saw a wild boar and 7 young just 250 metres from the accommodation. The owners respect your privacy but are available if required which is what we enjoy. Very happy with the holiday and would go back without hesitation.
Excellent cottage, well equipped with everything we needed. Hot tub and patio are great
Michelle
The cottage was excellent, beautifully clean and well equipped and in a gorgeous location. . The hot tub was prepared and ready for use. A nice touch of cookies and 2 cans of sparkling mead were in the kitchen on arrival. The owner of the cottage checked in on us to see everything was okay. Highly recommend this cottage
Absolutely fantastic 3 days, never left the cottage, will definitely be returning
We had a wonderful week! ! Very clean, comfortable cottage. Great location for some lovely walks and days out. The hot tub being the perfect end to the day

Lovely place to stay, great base for exploring. Hot tub a great plus
Second visit as last year's stay was excellent. Well maintained, clean and comfortable.
Beautiful little cottage. Absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway. We both loved it and would definitely stay again!
What a wonderful winter break. Spent a week in the cottage and really relaxed doing.... nothing. The cottage is as described. Cozy and has great attention to detail. The hot tub was very special as was the wood burner. Loved the thoughtful chocolate gift on arrival. The kitchen really has every comfortable and is fully equipped. The only negative was a slightly bigger bed would have been great... but that's just us as we are used to a super king! All in all, really highly recommended.
We had the most wonderful time at Lilly cottage! The hot tub was excellent and being able to get cosy by the fire at night was a really nice touch. We will definitely be back.
A cosy little cottage in a quiet location. Wood burner and hot tub made our stay.
Lorraine

Shirley
A lovely cottage a really treasure of a find and added bonus a Hot Tub
Russell
Perfect getaway. The property was clean and tidy, and was a lovely place to get away from the world. Plenty of walks locally for hikers. Couch was comfy and the bed was fantastic, had the best nights sleep I've had in years. It had everything you needed for a break. Used the hot tub six out of seven nights, was wonderful. Would we stay again, most definitely. We hope to be back next year.
Patricia
Already mentioned in the guest book. A lovely cottage to relax in, but there were a few issues that needed to be addressed. The bottom shelf of the fridge door was cracked, so no heavy items could be placed on it., i.e pints of milk. Also the fridge freezer required defrosting thick ice ran down the back of fridge, and freezer boxes were difficult to manage. We found someone sock inside the washing machine, and the cooker grill pan had not been cleaned. There were no fire lighters in the jar by the fire, as stated there would be some in their information pack about the cottage. The fire tools handles were loose, and required tightening. We did not meet the Hosts, and lastly there was no welcome pack for us, not even a pint of milk for a cup of tea on arrival. which other guests have mentioned they had winechocolates in the Guest Book the hot tub was great.
Stewart

We had a lovely stay at Lilly Cottage. The standard of everything is excellent, warm, comfortable and relaxing. We will definitely recommend to family and friends.
Nicola
Just wanted to make a complaint about the hot tub. When we booked the cottage, we booked for the usage of the hot tub and we were under the impression that we would have unlimited use of the hot tub. When we arrived we were then informed by a rule book that stated 30minutes usage per day day and this would be monitored. When we arrived we found that there was a window that overlooked the garden and as we were in it there was a person watching. I'm sorry but to me this isn't private or relaxing.
Jessica
Brilliant location, cosy cottage and kind owners. We really enjoyed our stay and will recommend to our friends and family.
We've just enjoyed a week's holiday at Lilly Cottage in the Forest of Dean. We arrived at 9.30pm and it was pitch black. We struggled to find the cottage in the dark but after asking a neighbour they directed us. We were over the moon with the cosy cottage. The kitchen was well equipped and the cottage was spotlessly clean. The hot tub and log burner were great additions. The only slight downsides we found were the small sofa and the toilet being downstairs. The guest book helped give us advice on where to eat locally and days out. It was a great relaxing break away which is exactly what we wanted. We would highly recommend.
Very nice cottage on the edge of the Forest of Dean. Rooms are very comfortable and clean, everything we needed except for a pen to write in the guest book! Hot tub excellent, very private and a good size. The downside was the nearest pub, The Miners which wasnt doing food, but we drove a short way to The Fountain, Parkend, and the other Miners in Sling. Both are highly recommended. Great walks through the Forest. We will definitely return!
We wish wed seen the small steps between rooms in the photos
Claire
Beautiful property with lots of forest walks right on the doorstep. Great location so peaceful, but things to see and do close by. Would highly recommend!
