Longmynd Reviews

The Longmynd is perfect for a large familygroup stay. Secluded for privacy but with an excellent little pub a 5 minute walk, with Gloucester Town Centre and the Forest of Dean a short 15 min drive away. The Longmynd had all the amenities we needed, a clean, comfortable house with loads of extras that made our break more enjoyable. This ranged from an excellent garden overlooking the Severn, to a large Hot Tub, to an incredible living area upstairs. Little touches such as a Juke Box, Cocktail Bar and Desktop Ice Machine made this house better than others we have stayed in. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again.
What a beautiful home. 9 ladies went to celebrate a special birthday. Amazing location with beautiful views. Fabulous facilities, everything we wanted and more. Had a memorable weekend.
Christine
Lovely house, great for a family get together. Very good communication with the owner
It was a wonderful property that was excellently laid out and well equipped for our group a school reunion. The view from the living spaces is breathtaking and although on the main road, once in the house it didnt register at all! Usually we like to go to different places each year but this property is the first that may tempt us to return!! Eclectic but tasteful decor and the fabulous hot tub inc lighting and sound system were the icing on the cake. Thank you!
Rebecca
Beautiful views. House is just perfect,it has so much character. The beds are comfy, nice soft bedding. The house has so many personal touches and they have tried to contain everything you could possibly need. I would highly recommend. There were 12 of us and we had plenty of room. Hot tub is great. There's also a nice balcony out of dining room, perfect to relax in the evening and watch the sunset. Owner great with communication.
Wow wow wow! We had the best stay at Longmynd and wouldnt hesitate to come again! The property looks amazing on photos however is 10 x better in person. Everyone one of us loved it and was happy all weekend. It really exceeded our expectations. Communication with Graham was also fab, he was so accommodating. Highly recommended!!
Gorgeous house, the pictures do not do it justice. The gardens are beautiful and as a mixed generation party of 8 we had ample space. The owner was very attentive and on hand when needed. We would certainly recommend Longmynd as a base to visit all the area has to offer.
Elizabeth
A group of 12 stayed for two nights for a friend's hen party. We had the best time and the house was absolutely beautiful, everything we could have hoped for and more! The check in process was really easy and the host was contactable during our stay and so kind and helpful! He genuinely seemed to care about making our stay the best it could be. The views over the river are just gorgeous and we would 100 recommend this accommodation to others and would certainly come back here again. Thanks again!
This place was perfect! ! It was booked for a surprise birthday weekend for 12 of us. The photos do not do it justice. Plenty of space and plenty of facilities. The Rooms were a good size, bed were super comfy. Kitchen hand plenty of crockery to enjoy your meals. Would definitely come back.
The house is amazing! We booked this property for a hen do weekend and had the best time. The house is so well equipped for a large group and is also in the most beautiful setting.
Fahima
What a beautiful cottage! Very spacious to throw my special 30th Birthday! So clean! I would recommend anyone to book this cottage! Excellent communication from the owner via text message! Thank you for having us! Great distance to the town centre for meals and activities.
This was exactly what we were looking for for our get together with 5 children and 6 adults. Absolutely perfect. Thank you.
Stayed here in the summer with 11 other family members of varying ages. We loved every minute of our stay, the house was big and spacious enough for us all to be able to have our own spaces. The dining and kitchen area created a great atmosphere for us to cook and eat together on an evening. The large glass doors in the kitchen and living room allowed us to take full advantage of the summer afternoons, which were also complimented by the outdoor seating area and barbeque which provided a great space to unwind and enjoy each other's company. The view from the back of the house which overlooked the river that had people paddle boarding along created a great summer vibe. On top of the house being up to a great standard, the host was amazing! Any issues we had were solved via text soon after, he also offered to come and sort all issues out in person. Very friendly host and stunning house.
Aneesa
Booked this stunning home for my sisters bridal shower. We enjoyed every minute of our stay at this gorgeous home and well maintained garden. From the picturesque lake views at breakfast on the balcony, to our party surprises at sunset we sure will cherish the memories! The owner was really helpful with questions throughout the stay. He was so kind to accommodate us with special requests to help with our 3 hour journey back home ! The outdoor seating comfortably seated all the bridesmaids as we sung the night away. The large kitchen was supplied with crockery and cutlery allowing us to enjoy our meals and snacks. overall good stay and good private environment, no noise from neighbours so was able to do our own thing without interruption and felt very relaxed within the home. Rooms were a good size to sleep in and comfortable however the ceilings may need dusting off as there were spiderwebs everywhere. Showers could do with abit of door fixtures.
The cottage was perfect for what we needed and view of the sunrise and sunset from the kitchen and living room was stunning the pictures do jot do it justice!
The house was everything that was listed, the veiws were Beautiful, the owner was just a message away if needed. Welcome gift was very much appreciated by us all. Beds were really comfortable and bedding was clean and soft, there was not one complaint in our group about anything and everbody enjoyed staying there we will be booking again.
Really lovely property, we had a brilliant time. Such lovely views from every window! Would absolutely book again.
We spent New Year 2021 here and it was just fabulous from start to finish! The welcome Prosecco and chocolates were a lovely touch! The house was so clean and the beds were super comfortable! It slept 11 of us perfectly and for a large house was very well heated! The hot tub is a super special touch and was just what we needed after a countryside run! Graham the owner was quick to reply to messages if we needed him and was very accommodating. The only downside was no sky or normal tv channels for the men to watch rugby. We had Netflix which was great for the children! On the whole it was such a perfect stay! My only tip would be to do a big online shop before you arrive, there arent any shops in the close vicinity and the pub which is walking distance wasnt the best for food! I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family and we would most certainly return!! Thank you!!
Had a wonderful 5 night stay at Longmynd just before Christmas to celebrate our eldest daughters birthday. There was plenty of space indoors for 6 adults plus four children . We made great use of the hot tub during the evening. The views over the Severn were wonderful especially on my daughters birthday where we were greeted with a spectacular sunrise. There was plenty to do in the surrounding area including Dean Forest Railway and Puzzlewood which were particular highlights. Can also recommend the Severn and Wye Smokery for dining out. Thoroughly recommend!
Michele
Amazing property, very spacious & comfortable with amazing views . The hot tub was great & the outdoor lighting was very pretty. Graham was on hand to answer any question we had & was really helpful in providing information about the area . The ziplink beds were fantastic for a group of ladies enabling us to all have our own bed . Graham contacted us prior to arrival to ask how we would like the beds arranged & everything was made up & ready for us. The welcome fizz & chocolates was a lovely touch . The only thing we thought could be improved was the bedside lighting, there were a few lamps but they seemed to be for show rather than practicality. The ones that worked were like fairy lights so no good for reading or finding your way to the bathroom during the night? Would definitely recommend this beautiful property.
Mahmoud Saad
Beautiful outside space and views. Spotlessly clean. Spacious, tastefully decorated and high spec. Fantastic price. Loved it! Very highly recommended. Only down sides were the dryer was out of order Im sure this will be resolved soon and directions were a little difficult to follow but I may have missed something the property us right next to the Minsterworth Waterski club
Natalie
Absolutely wonderful! The views are amazing! We were completely blown away! So lovely to sit out in the garden and enjoy the hot tub. The beds were so comfortable and the kitchen was amazingly equipped. We had the best week and will definitely be back! Graham was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We appreciated the welcome bottle of Prosecco
Stewart
The pictures of this house simply dont do it justice, you need to see it to believe it! Great location by the river Severn and if youre as lucky as us youll see a bore which is a natural wave phenomenon. The place is comfortable and relaxing which is what we needed.
Imogen
This place was perfect for a group of friends to meet up and relax for the weekend. The location is peaceful and the local shops aren't too far of a drive away. The owner was excellent in reaching out before to ask how we'd like the beds set up and was always on call to answer any of our questions. The place had a modern yet cosy vibe and it was easy for us to feel relaxed and at home for 4 days. I would happily return here in the future and 100 recommend to people. It truly did exceed our expectations.
The house was gorgeous well laid out and beautiful views. It really suited our needs.
Sophie
Had a fabulous time. Graham was a great host, very kind and friendly and went to extra mile to make sure our stay was as good as possible. Would highly recommend his place to others.
Oliver
Brilliant Property, Graham was incredibly helpful and has a lovely modern, vibrant property which we would very much reccomend!
Cottage was beautiful with wonderful views. Hottub was a bonus, clean and very tidy. We were a family of 10 and were made to feel very welcome and at home.
Amazing cottage, had everything we needed. Comfortably slept 12 of us, without feeling like we were on top of each other. Lovely views, not far into Gloucester. Would definitely book again!
Sunil Kumar
It's awesome
This accommodation is stunning, it has such a nice location on the bank of the river and is excellent for large groups. Facilities are excellent, it was clean and comfortable. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Stunning house. Owner is the most helpful person. We will definitely be returning!
Steve and Kim
Lovely house, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Graham was very chatty and helpful.
Jocelyn
The house was beautiful with an amazing view over the river. We all enjoyed the hot tub. Beds were very comfortable. The owner was very helpful with any questions we had. Plenty of towels and bath robes for us all. We had a fantastic time for my friends 50th Birthday. The only downside was the pub nearby, the food was awful.
Amanda
Beautiful setting. Lovely attention to detail. This house is amazing x
Our host Graham was really helpful in the run up to our stay. His local knowledge was great. The property is absolutely stunning, with fantastic views across the river. A lot of work had clearly gone into making sure the property was clean and ready for us to enjoy. Beds were really comfortable, the chocolates and basics such as tea and coffee provided were a really nice touch. A fantastic place to get away and enjoy a trip to The Forest of Dean Cotswolds. Thanks so much Graham for all your help! Viv & Family
Nichola
We had the perfect weekend in this amazing house. It was a very comfortable size for our party of eleven and beautifully presented. As the weather was so nice we were able to sit on the balcony and enjoy the views across the river. It was very light and airy with plenty of space and very well equipped. We all loved relaxing in the hot tub. Graham was brilliant at communicating with us before we arrived with suggestions of where to go and places to eat. He also knew it was an 80th birthday celebration and left a balloon with 80 on it along with sweets etc, which was such a kind gesture and really made the experience special. We couldnt fault anything, just wish we could have stayed longer.
Isabella
We had a wonderful experience such a beautiful well done to very good taste, lots of amenities and in a good location. we booked it so we could have to for rest, have quality time with family and go out and have fun around the countryside, we got all that we wished for. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to have a lovely holiday as a family. We would go back there in the near future. The owner was very kind and more than helpful and sensitive to our needs. We could not fault anything about our stay. It was the best holiday weve had for a long time.
Good amount of details provided and directions to get to the property. Graham popped in and managed to speak to him a few times during our stay, the kids in our group loved the garden, bunk beds and the kitchen island. Great place for a week
Annette
The house was lovely, comfortable and extremely well equipped. The hot tub and barbecue were very welcome extras. The welcome goodies were a lovely touch. Watching the river was fascinating. We had a lovely relaxing week and didn't want for anything except the weather on a couple of days !
