Peacock Cottage

Perfect little cottage in a beautiful location

Going home

So close to wonderful walks and we saw some wild boar which I hadn't seen before.

Some more cushions for the sofa and chairs would be good

It was perfectly equipped for a weekend for four with a dog. The garden was lovely and it was very warm and cozy. The area was a very peaceful area and although we didn’t have much opportunity to explore (we used it as a base for a tennis tournament in Gloucester) there looked to be a lovely pub up the road, some lovely walks and a Tesco very nearby for all your essentials. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the beds were comfortable.

Nothing, it was all great. My husband would have liked to be able to completely turn the heating off during the night but it wasn’t a big problem. The road into the property was quite tight as others had mentioned but we managed to get out GLE 4x4 down there so most people will be fine so not an issue just a warning.

Incredible location - only 5 minutes from lidl or tesco and lots of places to visit. Only 1 hour from the Cotswolds and other parts of Wales. Close by to the Forest of Dean. Double bed was extremely comfortable Lovely enclosed garden at front and back Lots of DVDs available to keep yourself entertained Plenty of toilet roll provided (super useful for a household of IBS and IBD sufferers) Stair gate was present which made it easier stopping the dogs from going upstairs (sign in property states they cannot go upstairs although not noted in description when booking) On request we were offered an extra hour for checkout which put me at ease if I was struggling with my health. Shower had good power in it and was a nice temperature.

Although DVDS were available we couldn't sign into any streaming services like Netflix as it wasn't a smart TV at the property. The house was extremely cold inside which made our stay uncomfortable. The info book stated extra wood would be available outside but there wasn't any. When we contacted them we were told we had to buy our own wood and to change radiators settings although the property was still cold doing this. We visited the local shops but they had no wood in stock so we had to travel a bit to find some. - Bring Blankets and socks - It's stone flooring downstairs so even colder Although our car fit down the lane, bigger cars or vans would struggle as we had to be careful not to scrape our side mirrors. The kitchen tap would continuously leak and it wouldn't get to a hot enough temperature to wash the dishes without also using the kettle water. Although there was a dishwasher we didn't have much to wash every night so it was easier doing it in the sink. Very stingy on the washing up liquid provided too. Although useful this was given to us.
