Lilly Cottage Reviews

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

What a beautiful cottage. We had a very relaxing week . The cottage has everything you need, extremely comfy bed and the hot tub was lush . Lovely welcome package and flowers so thoughtful. We lit the burner as well which was super cozy . Just a wonderful place to stay .

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

Lovely area, for walks, hot tub great. log fire at night on low. cottage was lovely.

Clean comfortable well maintained would gladly book again

Deborah

We had a wonderful stay at Lilly Cottage. Everything was just perfect. The welcome pack was very well received! Matt and Claire were close by if we needed them but gave us the space to enjoy our break. Furnishings were of a high quality. The bed was especially comfortable. The hot tub was a lovely finishing touch! Will be going back at some point!

Louise

Cute little place could have moved in. Loved it

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!

Lovely cosy cottage for a relaxing stay in a quiet area of the village , plenty of walks from the doorstep and a pub within walking distance. Plenty of things to do in the area by car ,the owners Matt and Chloe are very friendly and welcoming

Had a wonderful time, couldn't fault it, will definitely stay again at Lillys Cottage

Lily cottage was simply put just delightful, superbly well equipped really comfortable and a great location with thoughtful little touches like a choccie bar left for us on arrival. Loved th cottage and would be happy to stay again

Barbara

A lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed a very restful and peaceful break.

Angela

Very wonderful location. Property ideally located for array of local days out walking, cycling, kayaking. High standard of accommodation. Hot tub wonderful addition.

Raymond

The cottage was perfect for our first visit to the Forest of Dean. Lots to do without having to travel more than 30 minutes from the cottage. We will be returning to explore more of the area in the near future.

A lovely, reasonably wellequipped cottage in a beautiful location. Quiet with good views of the forest and lovely walks offroad from the door.

A great little cottage with everything you need and more hot tub ! ! Definatley look at revisiting

Lovely cosy place had all we needed for a cosy relaxing place to stay. Ideally situated for some smashing walks in Forest of Dean jacuzzi at the end of a long walk was a nice tonic and sitting in front of a log burning fire in the evening was grand highly recommended place to stay.

The cottage is very clean and cosy. We enjoyed my husbands birthday and Valentines Day. Enjoyed the walks and shopping in Gloucestershire.

Lilly Cottage surpassed our expectations. A beautifully quaint interior with far reaching views. The icing on the cake being the 6 seater hot tub provided with total privacy. A truly magical get away.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lily Cottage. It is located in a really pretty setting ideally suited for travelling around the area. The hot tub was an added bonus and it looked really magical with the fairy lights. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well stocked with everything you could want. If we were to visit the area again, we would definitely book another stay at Lily Cottage and would thoroughly recommend for a romantic break. Thank you.

Daniel

Absolutely amazing property. Its in a lovely area which is quiet,perfect and beautiful. The property so well equipped, beautiful and clean. Lovely having a log fire and the hot tub tops it all off. Just the most amazing place and had a fantastic holiday! Plus Loads to do in the area.

Sylvia

Had the most wonderful stay in this delightful cottage, best hot tub ever and we have tried a good many! Good walks almost from doorstep, pubs aplenty with good food, cottage was clean and comfy, a cosy spot for two! Forest of Dean heritage centre and Puzzlewood are our favourite places to visit.

We loved our stay at this gorgeous cottage which was so cosy. There was a confusion with the check in out time so beware emails from Sykes cottages as the check out time is 10am not 11am. The hot tub is not able to be used on the first nights stay due to cleaning, so is only available for 1 day out of a 2 night stay despite arrival at 1530 this is due to changing the water for every guest to ensure cleanliness however this should be advertised on booking. We were also fire novices so this could be just us, but I didnt feel like there was enough kindling fire lighters for two nights worth of fires Im sure we could have asked for more but didnt want to bother the owners.
