“The 2nd visit this year was as lovely as the first and I brought 2 of my grown up children with me this time and they thought the cottage was amazing too.”

The cottage has a lovely homely feeling and the beds are so comfortable. I think the only let downs are the lack of attention to detail in the cleaning and the tired sofas which are very low to the ground. We found lots of things such as toys and paper had been missed during cleaning and I had to physically clean out the bottom of the dishwasher because it had lots of orange food left in the bottom of it. Also we found a lot of cutlery and some of the pans were greasy so we had to wash them ...

Also we found a lot of cutlery and some of the pans were greasy so we had to wash them thoroughly before we could use them. Overall, I adore this place and if the small oversights were attended to I feel it a perfect retreat and I would definitely go back for a 3rd stay.

“We absolutely loved this property and its beautiful location.”

Absolutely spotlessly clean and so much character. The owners have clearly put a lot of love into the place and the garden is immaculate too. Would we stay here again - absolutely!

- Shirley Alina, October 2024
Peter October 2024

“Very comfortable and clean accommodation.”

Plenty of room for our party of 7. The toilets sometimes proved a challenge but was manageable. The shortbread biscuits and cider left for us were very appreciated and soon disappeared.

- Peter, October 2024
Joseph October 2024

“Not enough tea towels.”

The yard outside the back door needs treating it was very slippery. Sofas are past their sell by date, so uncomfortable. Overall though we loved the cottage and enjoyed our stay.

“A beautiful cottage - we really enjoyed staying there”

Sarah Ann September 2024

“Had a really lovely stay.”

Cottage very comfortable, cosy, spacious, with a beautiful garden. Just a few of observations. Garden gate leading up to the top of the garden has to be lifted up to be able to open/close it. Some people may find this awkward. Also, the bench up there is broken - lovely spot to sit so could do with repair/replacing. I did have to clear up other people's dog mess on the bottom patio area near the kitchen window as didn't want anyone thinking that was mine - it had clearly been used as a toilet area for one particular dog - the odd poo is acceptable to miss but there were at least 6 very large clearly visible poops which gives the rest of us dog owners a bad name and risks properties not allowing dogs. Presume cleaners understandably wont clear up for next guest as it's not pleasant. Anyway, totally recommend the cottage - the cider and dog treats were a nice touch thank you and would stay again if in the area :)

- Sarah Ann, September 2024

Thanks for your feedback – I'm very glad you enjoyed your stay at Beulah Cottage. The bench is indeed a priority for mending (it belonged to my grandfather). It will get the attention it needs once late summer bookings slow down and allow a maintenance gap. I'll also take a look at the garden gate, and see how that can be improved. My sincere apologies for the dog-mess - I was away on holiday myself that week, and while the rest of the team do a great job, I can't always rely on others to have the keen eye for details that aren't run of the mill, so I'm very sorry that had been overlooked. We do ask all guests to check for dog poo left in the garden before they leave and clean up after themselves, and the majority of our guests are cooperative in leaving the house and garden tidy, and ready for the changeover team who work very hard against the clock between guests. May I remind future guests to allow plenty of time to pack, tidy and clean up at the end of their stay to avoid a rush before the 10am departure time, to leave the house and garden in a good state, and to bring our attention to any damage or details that need our attention. We appreciate all your efforts to help us to keep our standards high for future guests. Thank you Sarah for having done so yourself. Property Owner

“We all enjoyed a wonderful week here.”

It was so peaceful and the weather that we had helped us enjoy the very large and well kept gardens. The house inside is beautiful and characterful with everything that we needed available for a very comfortable stay. Apart from some cobwebs in the lounge area and some areas that looked like mould very low down,for example a corner of the dining room the cottage was very well presented and I hope to return again soon. Highly recommended. Thank you Allan and Jo for such a lovely holiday there.

“This wonderful cottage was cosy and practical in a lovely quiet location.”

Ample parking. Perfect for 2 young grandchildren and a dog, as well as the adults. Great communication before arriving. We arrived to find welcome gifts, flowers in the room and a handwritten note with suggestions to visit the bluebell woods, which sadly we didn't have time to do. A huge garden and very handy location. We visited to the Sculpture trail and Goodrich castle.

Kerry April 2024

“Absolutely fabulous cottage.”

My friends and I had an amazing time. All the facilities you could need. Close to some great places. Wonderful garden. Peaceful village setting. Definitely a place to go to reset and relax.

Margaret March 2024

“Not enough comfortable chairs in living room.”

Though wood was a bit dear for fire. But saying that everything else was good. Bed were comfortable. Cottage was only just warm enough with the heating on.

Karen December 2023

“This property has some nice authentic features like the log burners and beamed ceiling in a really nice location.”

It is well equipped with comfortable beds and hot water always available. However there were maintenance issues that we were not happy about. The fact there are no photos of the kitchen is a red flag and this is probably due to the sink issue. The wooden worktop which surrounds the inside of the butler style sink was black and really looked quite disgusting. The owner provided a lengthy account of how difficult it is to keep it treated with special products as it’s too expensive to replace, clearly this is a big problem. I will add photos on Tripadvisor. There is a cracked window in the largest bedroom, again the owner is aware but has no plans to replace or fix it. Smaller issues could easily have been resolved if the property was checked properly before changeover - a new lightbulb needed in the bathroom and as we paid a large premium to stay at Christmas, which I checked would be decorated in advance I did expect the tree lights to work. Some small changes would make a big difference, like investing in new towels as we were provided with very worn, small bath towels.

Andrew November 2023

“We had a most enjoyable family weekend (nine including grandchildren) in the heart of the forest, and the cold dark nights were heartened by an excellent log fire to keep us all warm and cosy.”

The cottage is exactly as described and what we had expected, and the age of the building and the layout all added to the atmosphere. On Sunday afternoon, 11 members of the local Baptist congregation gathered for their Sunday service in the 1877 chapel opposite and the hymn singing to a pipe organ created a wonderful background to the area as it might have been in the days of the coal mining community of about 150 years ago, and evident throughout the Forest of Dean

Jennifer September 2023

“Beautifully decorated and furnished and very well equipped.”

Well situated to tour the Forest of Dean and wonderfully peaceful and attractive situation.

- Jennifer, September 2023
Pamela September 2023

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting and we had the most enjoyable week.”

The beds very comfy and all rooms nicely decorated with amazing paintings everywhere. The bathrooms although completely adequate could do with updating. The garden furniture not really sufficient for more than four people and not in good condition and the barbeque was extremely rickety. All that said, we had a great time and would go back.

- Pamela, September 2023
Simeon September 2023

“All round lovely place.”

Thank you. Enjoyed the paintings but forgot to take down details of sales website. Only issue is upstairs loo which blocked twice, dealt with quite easily though. On the whole, would like to return to continue exploring the surrounding environs, didn't go down the mine or actually take a dip in St Anthonys' Well. Would like to see more sculpture trail, curtailed because of time, but we did see a family of wild Boar! So much more to explore.

- Simeon, September 2023
David July 2023

“This was a a great cottage for a larger family or group.”

Peaceful, quiet village but only 5 minutes drive to Littledean and 10 minutes to Cinderford. The cottage gave us the chance to stay under one roof with our children and grandchildren and now have all gained some special memories of this time together. The cottage had all the facilities to make the stay special including a large dinning table that comfortably sat all 7 of us. The games room was well used as well as relaxing and playing in the extensive beautiful gardens. Plenty of great places and attractions to visit nearby.

- David, July 2023
Anthony June 2023

“While the seating for six people in the lounge area was sufficient, there would not have been enough comfortable seating for eight.”

There was an issue with the flushing mechanism for the upstairs toilet, but we soon found the 'knack' for operating it. The website description of outdoor facilities ought to be updated to say the the barbecue requires charcoal. Overall, we were very pleased with the property in its tranquil location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider returning.

Mark October 2022

“Tremendous home, cracking location and we enjoyed our time there - thank you.”

Two items of constructive feedback if I may: 1) feather pillows. Recommend replacing for hypoallergenic ones as my wife and sister had a reaction to the feathers which was uncomfortable for them. Of course I mean a mild reaction but swollen eyes (most obvious sign) not an pleasant. 2) the catch on the gate to/from the drive is lethal!! It really can be dangerous. Don’t have a suggestion on mitigation as of course recognise the mechanism is needed but caution required for sure

Caroline September 2022

“A lovely cottage set in a beautiful quiet hamlet.”

Easy to get to the places we went to visit like Ross on Wye, Symonds Yat. The Dean Forest Railway was the highlight of our visit. All was within easy distance from the cottage and so lovely to return to the peace and quiet. We had a 6 month baby with us and he slept really well in the cottage.

- Caroline, September 2022
Ruth September 2022

“This was the best cottage we have ever stayed in .”

The location was a idyllic in The Forest of Dean with a secure garden to keep dogs and children in and wild boar out . The cottage is very thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need although don’t think there was a grill in the oven . I actually took my air fryer as we needed to rustle up meals quickly for hungry toddlers . There are plenty of saucepans and crockery to cook for large numbers and also last between dishwasher cycles . There are far more toys than suggested in the description of the games room and enough to keep all ages busy even 1 and 2 year olds. Only one television but that didn’t matter to us as there are videos for children to watch . If they were happy we were too ! We all enjoyed the surrounding area and cottage and would certainly book again .

- Ruth, September 2022
Kathryn August 2022

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beulah cottage.”

There was everything (& more) there for us & so many games for the grandchildren. Maybe a comfy arm chair in the dining room would be a good idea for when a quiet moment was needed. In our 70’s my husband & I found the bigger of the 2 sofa’s was low but think that’s an age thing on our part. Overall, the cottage was delightful, spacious, full of extras (the cider & shortbread

Gareth July 2022

“Beautiful property in a stunning location.”

Everything we needed for our stay was at hand. The kids loved the garden where they could play safely. The forest walks straight from the doorstep where brilliant, lots of wildlife to spot, dens to build, things to find. So much to do in the area that we never got round to everything, so a return trip is guaranteed. We would absolutely book here again if it was available.

“Beautiful cottage with an amazing garden.”

We had a lovely few days exploring the forrest of Dean, went goape climbing, hired a canoe and had a picnic on the river Wye. The garden was fantastic for our 9 year old and he had lots of fun on the tree swing. Great BBQ area and outside seating. The cottage is well stocked with everything you need, comfy beds and sheets and lots of lovely thoughtful touches around the cottage. Definitely recommend and hope to return.

“We enjoyed a wonderful weekend - three generations and plenty for everyone.”

There were toys galore for the little ones, games for the adults (we played Articulate), lots of crockery, cutlery, cookware etc, and the most beautiful garden - far bigger than it appeared on the listing and beautifully kept. There were woodland walks direct from the cottage and the local scenery is breathtaking. The only, very minor, comment is that the oven space is quite small, given the capacity of the cottage, but that's being very picky. Thanks very much to the owners for a wonderful family weekend.

Eileen February 2022

“Super comfortable cottage.”

Well organised and very well equipped. Our family like cooking and there was all we needed including a good sized fridge freezer. The wi-fi was excellent and the owners had provided lots of information on the local area. There were lots of toys which the children enjoyed and the table football was well used. Outside is a large safe garden for dogs, we had 4 cars and had no problems parking. The cottage is set in a quiet hamlet surrounded by plenty of walks, with lots to do within easy reach despite the weather being awful. Highly recommended!

Alison November 2021

“Beulah Cottage is in an idyllic part of the Forest of Dean.”

The cottage has plenty of character and charm and was a special place to stay. The log burner in the front room made it very warm and cosy in the evenings. The TV in the sitting room would have been better if it was larger as we mainly stayed inside in the evenings as it is Winter and had to move the sofa's closer as it was hard to see. As the cottage sleeps 8 people the kitchen should have more pans for cooking as there was only 1 baking tray and 1 Frying pan. Also as the description states towels provided, one of these needs to be big enough to be a bath towel as the largest was quite small. The garden is huge and fantastic the way it goes into the forest which our dog loved. Regardless of all the above points we had a lovely restful week in the cottage and would recommend.

- Alison, November 2021

Thank you for your kind comments Alison. It would seem that you only found the cooking implements stored right next to the cooker – in fact there is a 2nd large cupboard full of cookware, with a selection of baking trays, roasting pan, cake tin, pizza trays, casserole dishes etc and a second frying pan, so the cottage is amply supplied – I have (since your comment) made that clearer for guests who are only staying a couple of nights and may not have explored fully. Each guest is provided with a standard sized bath-towel plus a hand-towel, in addition to a hand-towel and bathmat in each bathroom. The TV is not massive, but we plan to upgrade it now that we have full-fibre super-fast broadband (just arrived in the area). Guests are encouraged to bring their own HDMI connectable streaming device if they wish to access their own netflix account for example; the property has Free-Sat which provides a wide selection of channels, as well as a DVD player with a selection of DVDs to suit all ages. There is also a good collection of family favourite board-games, as well as a large cupboard full of younger children’s toys, so we find that many guests choose not to use the TV at all.

“I had a wonderful week in Beulah Cottage which is a lovely spacious place with all the comforts of home.”

The owners are friendly, warm and welcoming and the goodies left on our arrival, for me and my dog, were a delightful surprise. All was tranquil and peaceful ideal for a truly restful break. The garden is tremendous and the forest is right on the doorstep so we enjoyed long walks through the extensive woodlands, meeting some charming people. It's a super place for exploring the Forest of Dean and I shall definitely be booking again!

“Three stars for the location and garden, two for the cottage.”

Lovely area - we were very spoilt by the fabulous weather, sun all week. The garden is great, could do with a bench at the top of the garden. Also the BBQ and area is nothing like the photograph. A scruffy pub bench and basic, non gas bbq is what you’ll find, The cottage itself is average. I’ve stayed in much better properties for a third of the price. When we arrived there were cobwebs and spiders in almost every corner. We spend just under an hour vacuuming them away. My son has a terrible fear of spiders - unfortunately, even after cleaning up, the damage was done, my son and his fiancée left after one night as he couldn’t sleep. Yes, we did expect spiders in a cottage, but they were literally everywhere. They obviously hadn’t been cleaned away recently. The windows haven’t been cleaned for a good while, people have drawn pictures on them!! The settee under the window has no padding, it’s like you’re sitting on the floor. The leather settees need cleaning, they are shiny and slippery. Not comfortable at all. The cottage needs a lot of TLC and a deep clean. My view is, as people leave the cottage, they clean up and as requested, leave it as they find it. The cleaner arrives, a quick look around, change the bedding and that’s it, On the plus side, the games room was great, the beds comfortable enough, everything you could need in the kitchen (except sharp scissors). Disappointed as this holiday was rearranged from 2020, it was our 30th wedding anniversary get together that ended up just being three of us instead of five. Can’t fault the location though, extremely peaceful with plenty of walks and an abundance of wildlife, we spotted boar, deer (even one in the garden), plenty of squirrels, an owl, buzzard with a squirrel, a slow worm and even a frog. We will definitely return to the Forest of Dean, just not this cottage.

Kathie June 2021

“Only reason for 4 stars was the lack of outdoor garden furniture!”

There were only 4 very small garden chairs for a property that sleeps 8. We were very lucky with exceptionally good weather and some comfier garden furniture to enjoy the surroundings and weather would have been perfect. Otherwise, a thoroughly enjoyable holiday at a lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings.

“Amazing cottage and beautiful location.”

Had a wonderful week and looking forward to visiting again soon. Lovely walks from the cottage garden so you can enjoy days without using the car if you want to and we were lucky to see lots of deer and birds. My teenagers loved the games room and the mountain biking which was only 10 minutes away. Lots to do in the area with the river Wye only 20 minutes away with lots of water sports. Cottage was very well equipped and owners very helpful and friendly.

Emma July 2020

“After initially being concerned about going away so soon after lockdown started to ease, we had a lovely relaxing week at the cottage.”

The garden is peaceful and just beautiful - great for having an early morning coffee in while the dogs were playing. The kitchen was well stocked so we could prepare all our meals without any issue. Plenty of space for 8 adults to be together and not feel like they are on top of one another. We would highly recommend.

- Emma, July 2020
Jane March 2020

“A lovely place to go for our 3 generations family group.”

The teenager and adults loved the games room and there were masses of toys for the 3 year old. Fabulous local walks from the cottage with ample maps provided. Very well equipped property. Lovely garden. The birdsong was glorious.

“Beulah is a quiet and relaxing cottage with everything you could possibly want.”

The well kept and large gardens are a delight to wonder around and safe for both dogs and children. The pictures on Skyes doesn't show the excellent dining room and well stocked kitchen.

- Gail, September 2019
Emma September 2019

“The house was beautiful, much bigger than we expected and it was decorated and fitted out lovely in the inside.”

We went on some of the local walks that the welcome book recommended and they were really good. The garden was beautiful, we all spent a lot of time playing outside on the swing. The only downside for us was we went with a 13-month-old baby who can walk well but has not mastered steps yet and she kept falling up/down the steps that go into each room, so she left with a lot of bruises.

- Emma, September 2019
Sharon August 2019

“We had a fantastic time at Beulah cottage.”

It was a brilliant space for our two families to spend time together, the garden was great and our dog loved exploring the wild garden at the back! Fab facilities and the children loved the games room. Would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone looking for a peaceful holiday in a beautiful location, would love to return.

Nick January 2019

“We had a lovely family stay at Beulah Cottage for my Dad's 70th Birthday.”

The cottage was perfect for the three generations that were staying there and the facilities were excellent. The cottage is perfectly placed for going into Ross on Wye for some dinner or even the nearby Hillside Brewery for a tour! The cottage was well equipped for cooking and the wood burner provided a warming and calming backdrop for an evening with a few glasses of wine. I would wholeheartedly recommend this cottage to anyone!

Tracey December 2018

“We all really enjoyed our Christmas at Beulah cottage.”

The cottage is well equipped and the kids loved the games room. There are lots of lovely walks that the dog enjoyed. Our dog also enjoyed the garden while the kids enjoyed the rope swing. Dogs are not allowed upstairs, this is not stated on the website.

- Tracey, December 2018
Janet June 2018

“Good facilities for families in the cottage and great games room.”

Lots of steep steps and paths up to the back garden and bbq area for young children or less abled people, but lovely front lawn and flowers. Very quiet, peaceful area which we enjoyed very much.

- Janet, June 2018
Sara May 2018

“I’ve stayed in many holiday cottages but Beulah Cottage was one of the best - it is beautiful.”

Everything in the house was perfect - we had everything we could possibly need and it was so well thought out, uncluttered and tasteful. The garden was such a joy, we had a 4 and 12 year old with us and both were delighted by it, the provision of games and toys for children and dog were much appreciated. Hours were spent on the rope swing and building fairy houses in the wooded area which was scattered with bluebells. Magical. Without doubt the nicest garden of any house I’ve ever stayed. We’re only sorry we couldn’t stay longer. We followed the walk to the local bluebell wood, bluebells as far as the eye could see, so lovely. Hope to return as it’s a gem.

The property

Littledean 1.5 miles.

A lovely cottage tucked away in the tiny hamlet of Green Bottom, deep in the Forest of Dean, with a wonderful garden and natural views right on your doorstep.

Designed with the family in mind, this hidden gem is a heart-warming escape for everyone to spend some quality time together away from it all.

Step inside to the lounge, which offers a warm and cosy spot to snuggle up at the end of the day, enhanced by a woodburner and beautiful paintings that fill the room with charm.

A dining room seats up to eight people, dressed in light blues and whites, with a fireplace situated to the front.

The bright airy colour-scheme continues through to a well-equipped kitchen, with a fresh and clean atmosphere.

After enjoying a home-cooked meal, a leisurely evening can be spent in the games room, ideal for building some fun-filled memories with the entire family.

A walk-in shower room finishes the ground floor.

Stairs lead up to four beautiful bedrooms each uplifted by peaceful colours, creating a serene place to unwind and wake up to every morning.

The family bathroom ties this all together with a pleasant view of the magnificent garden, which is best admired outside.

The grounds of the house are really something special, perfect for a walk in the woodlands, or a go on the rope swing.

Green Bottom is a mile from Littledean, an ancient Forest of Dean village with many original buildings.

The woodland remains of a bronze-age hill fort on the hillside opposite the cottage is not to be missed, especially in bluebell season.

The nearby picturesque village of Newnham-on-Severn offers riverside walks, a wide range of individual shops, and traditional inns.

Enjoy a Wye-valley river cruise or hot air balloon or take trips to Symonds Yat, the Black Mountains, Hereford and Monmouth.

A truly unique cottage sitting in the midst of its enchanting surroundings.
